Security audit

ShipStation

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill appears to be a legitimate ShipStation connector, but its setup instructions include a remote installer run directly in a shell and its action scope is somewhat broader than its read-only description.

Install only if you trust OOMOL and are comfortable routing ShipStation data through its connector. Avoid running the remote installer blindly; prefer official install documentation, checksum or signature verification where available, and explicit approval before any setup or non-read action.

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

High
Category
Supply Chain
Confidence
92% confidence
Finding

The skill instructs users to install software via a remote script piped directly into bash, which executes unreviewed code fetched over the network at runtime. If the hosting server, distribution path, or TLS trust chain is compromised, this can lead to arbitrary code execution on the user's machine.

Description-Behavior Mismatch

Medium
Category

Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

The manifest promises the skill is only for 'searching and reading data', but the body instructs use of generic connector actions and explicitly discusses [write] and [destructive] operations. This mismatch can mislead downstream agents, policy engines, or human reviewers into granting the skill broader authority than its declared purpose, increasing the risk of unintended state-changing actions in ShipStation.
