SportsDataIO

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill mostly matches its SportsDataIO purpose, but its fallback setup tells the agent to install a remote CLI script directly into the user's environment without verification.

Review the oo CLI installation path before using this skill. Prefer installing the CLI from official, verifiable package instructions and confirm any authentication or setup step yourself before allowing the agent to run it. Routine SportsDataIO read actions through an already-installed oo CLI appear purpose-aligned.

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

Finding

The skill instructs the agent to install software by piping a remotely fetched script directly into bash, which is a classic supply-chain and remote-code-execution risk. If the install endpoint, transport, or upstream distribution process is compromised, arbitrary code would execute immediately in the user's environment with no inspection step.
