SignPath

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The SignPath workflow has clear safeguards, but automatic setup executes unverified downloaded code and leaves broader agent changes unexplained.

Review and install the CLI separately before allowing setup. Its documented automatic skill synchronization can be disabled using OO_SKILLS_SYNC_DISABLED=1; see the [CLI reference](https://github.com/oomol-lab/oo-cli/blob/main/docs/commands.md). OOMOL brokers the SignPath connection, so use appropriately scoped credentials and review each signing payload. The remote installer and hosted service were not 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

Description-Behavior Mismatch

High
Category
MCP Tool Poisoning
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding

The supplied code performs remote installer execution, with no visible SignPath integration or data operations. Nothing provided establishes this installer as a supporting dependency for SignPath, so its behavior and accessed resource materially differ from the declared purpose. The remote script's further behavior cannot be determined from this chunk.

External Script Fetching

High
Category
Supply Chain
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding

The command immediately executes a mutable remote script without checking a pinned version, trusted signature, or independently obtained digest; the PowerShell alternative has the same issue. If the distribution endpoint or delivery pipeline is compromised, attacker-controlled code could run with the invoking user's privileges and access local files or credentials; HTTPS and the legitimate dependency context do not eliminate that supply-chain risk.

The setup instructions execute downloaded installation scripts without warning about remote code execution or local system changes.

Medium
Category
Output Handling
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

The setup flow instructs an agent to install software after a command-not-found error without requiring explicit approval for executing remote code or changing the local system. This is a separate authorization boundary from running SignPath actions, although the conditional setup and openly documented dependency reduce suspicion of malicious intent.

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.
