Resend

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is mostly coherent for operating a Resend account, but its fallback setup tells the agent to execute a remote installer script directly, which deserves review before installation.

Review the oo CLI installer yourself before allowing the fallback setup command to run, and prefer a verified or package-manager install path if available. Once installed, use the skill only for intentional Resend account operations, and require explicit confirmation before sending emails, updating scheduled emails, or canceling scheduled emails.

External Script Fetching

Finding

The skill instructs users to install software by piping a remote script directly into bash, which creates a supply-chain and remote code execution risk if the hosting endpoint, transport, or script contents are compromised. Because this appears in a fallback setup path inside an agent skill, an agent or user may execute it with little scrutiny, increasing the chance of unsafe execution.

Finding

The description says to use this skill for "ANY Resend request" and "Whenever a task involves Resend," which is a very broad activation condition for a markdown skill description. It does not provide negative examples or narrower constraints, so it could overlap with many ordinary requests that merely mention Resend and cause unintended invocation.
