Sender

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

Sender account changes require approval, but setup can execute unchecked downloaded code and the required CLI can make undisclosed changes to installed agent skills.

Review the CLI installation before proceeding and use a reviewed, fixed version. Set OO_SKILLS_SYNC_DISABLED=1 to prevent the documented startup skill synchronization. Consider whether OOMOL should process your Sender subscriber data, and retain the required approvals for account changes. The downloaded installers and exact installed CLI version could not be verified.

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
Vulnerability Patterns
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep
  • Output HandlingUnvalidated Output Injection, Cross-Context Output, Unbounded Output
  • MCP Tool PoisoningHidden Instructions, Unicode Deception, Parameter Description Injection

Description-Behavior Mismatch

High
Category
MCP Tool Poisoning
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding

The supplied chunk performs remote script installation, not Sender data management. Installation can be a supporting implementation detail, but this chunk provides no evidence that the Oomol installer supports the declared Sender functionality. The downloaded script's contents and further effects are not visible.

External Script Fetching

High
Category
Supply Chain
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding

The command executes a mutable remote script directly in Bash without verifying its integrity or reviewing its contents; the PowerShell alternative uses the same download-and-execute pattern. A compromised distribution endpoint could execute arbitrary code with the invoking user's privileges, although installation runs only when the CLI is missing and enforced tool restrictions may block it.

The setup workflow executes downloaded installation scripts without warning about remote code execution or system changes.

Medium
Category
Output Handling
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding

The missing-CLI fallback directs the agent to install software without explaining that it will execute remote code or requesting approval for local system changes. This crosses beyond ordinary Sender operations, although the fallback is conditional and the declared tool restrictions may prevent execution.

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.

- **`OOMOL_INSUFFICIENT_CREDIT`** — OOMOL billing stop. Recharge at `https://console.oomol.com/billing/token-recharge` before retrying.

- **HTTP 402 without `OOMOL_INSUFFICIENT_CREDIT`** — the third-party account itself has no active plan or credit. Report the provider error message as is; do not ask the user to recharge OOMOL.

External Transmission

Medium
Category
Data Exfiltration
Confidence
50% confidence
Finding

Data is being sent to an external URL. This could be legitimate telemetry or data exfiltration. Manual review is recommended.
