Pinecone

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed Pinecone connector wrapper, with a risky optional CLI install command users should verify before running.

Before installing, confirm you trust OOMOL and Pinecone access through OOMOL. Avoid blindly running the curl-to-bash or PowerShell pipe installer; use the official install guide, inspect the installer, and verify source integrity where possible. Treat write and destructive Pinecone actions as data-changing operations and approve exact targets and payloads only when intended.

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

External Script Fetching

Finding

The skill instructs users to install the CLI by piping a remotely fetched script directly into a shell (curl ... | bash). This is dangerous because it executes unaudited code from the network immediately, so a compromised host, TLS interception, DNS hijack, or upstream supply-chain incident could lead to arbitrary code execution on the user's machine.
