Security audit

Stormglass

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The Stormglass read workflow fits its purpose, but its setup instructions can trigger unverified remote installer execution without clear user approval.

Review setup before installing. Install a verified CLI release yourself or require approval before the agent runs an installer. Check the CLI's automatic skill-synchronization behavior and connect only the intended Stormglass account. The artifact contains no evidence of deliberate deception or exfiltration, but the remote installer contents and resulting system changes remain unverified.

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
  • 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

  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands

Description-Behavior Mismatch

High
Category
MCP Tool Poisoning
Confidence
99% confidence
Finding

Installing the connector CLI is relevant to the skill, but the fallback expands a read-only data task into downloading and executing unverified remote code without explicit installation approval. If the installation endpoint or its delivery infrastructure is compromised, that code can execute with the agent process's privileges; the missing-command condition limits exposure but does not remove it.

Description-Behavior Mismatch

MCP Tool Poisoning
Confidence
84% confidence
Finding

The supplied code performs only a login operation and shows no Stormglass integration or data-reading behavior. Authentication could be a supporting implementation detail, but nothing supplied connects this CLI login to Stormglass or demonstrates the declared functionality.

External Script Fetching

High
Category
Supply Chain
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding

Piping a mutable HTTPS response directly into bash executes code without version pinning, signature verification, or inspection. HTTPS protects transport but does not prevent malicious changes at the source, so compromise of the installer distribution path could lead to arbitrary code execution under the agent's account.

The setup workflow executes downloaded installation scripts without warning the user about the system-level effects.

Medium
Category
Output Handling
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

The setup instructions direct the agent to execute downloaded shell or PowerShell code without explaining its installation effects or requiring user consent. A request to read weather or tide data does not itself authorize arbitrary installer execution, which can modify local files and access resources available to the executing user.

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.
