Security audit

Waitwhile

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is a coherent Waitwhile connector, but its fallback setup asks the agent to install a CLI by piping a remote script into a shell without explicit approval or integrity checks.

Review before installing. The Waitwhile actions are clearly documented and destructive actions require confirmation, but do not allow the setup command to install the oo CLI unless you trust OOMOL’s installer source and are comfortable with a remote script changing your local environment. Prefer a verified or package-manager-based CLI install if available.

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
Content
- **`oo: command not found`** — install the oo CLI (other platforms: <https://cli.oomol.com/install-guide.md>):

  ```bash
  curl -fsSL https://cli.oomol.com/install.sh | bash    # macOS / Linux
  ```

  ```powershell
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding
The skill instructs the agent to install software by piping a remotely fetched script directly into a shell (`curl ... | bash`), which creates a supply-chain and remote code execution risk if the distribution server, network path, or script is compromised. In this skill context, the risk is heightened because the instructions are framed as a fallback operational step the agent may perform automatically when a command fails.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding
The description says to use this skill for "ANY Waitwhile request" and "Whenever a task involves Waitwhile," which is an extremely broad trigger that can overlap with many routine mentions of the service. It does not define boundaries, exclusions, or negative examples for when the skill should not activate.
