Security audit

Payrexx

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The Payrexx operations have confirmation safeguards, but setup directs the agent to run unverified remote installers without a separate approval step.

Review and verify the CLI installation separately before using this skill. OOMOL will mediate access to your connected Payrexx account. Check the CLI's automatic skill synchronization settings and disable that behavior if unwanted; the publisher documents OO_SKILLS_SYNC_DISABLED in its [command reference](https://github.com/oomol-lab/oo-cli/blob/main/docs/commands.md). Continue requiring confirmation for checkout creation. The external installer and connector were not verified by this artifact review.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Skill Instruction HijackingAlters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
  • Agent Memory PoisoningWrites attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
  • Remote Payload Retrieval and ExecutionFetches external code whose behavior can change after review
  • Embedded Malicious CodeShips malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally
  • Unauthorized Access and Privilege EscalationObtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs

Description-Behavior Mismatch

High
Category
MCP Tool Poisoning
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The supplied command performs remote software installation rather than the declared Payrexx operations. Nothing in the supplied chunk establishes this installer as a supporting dependency for Payrexx functionality. The downloaded script is not provided, so its further behavior cannot be assessed.

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

External Script Fetching

High
Category
Supply Chain
Confidence
99% confidence
Finding

The command pipes a mutable remote script directly into Bash without checking a pinned version, signature, or independently trusted digest. HTTPS protects transport but not against a compromised distribution endpoint or publisher account, which could deliver code that steals local credentials or modifies the host; the legitimate CLI dependency explains the command but does not eliminate this supply-chain risk.

Fallback setup executes remote installation scripts without a security warning or explicit approval requirement.

Medium
Category
Output Handling
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding

The fallback directs the agent to execute remote shell or PowerShell installation code without requiring informed user approval or artifact verification. Although this is legitimate dependency setup and only occurs when the CLI is missing, a Payrexx task does not by itself authorize arbitrary local software installation, which can modify files and execute with the invoking user's privileges.

Autonomous Decision Making

Medium
Category
Excessive Agency
Confidence
80% confidence
Finding

Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
