Security audit

xAI

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a straightforward xAI connector, but its setup includes running a remote installer script directly in the shell, so it should be reviewed before installation.

Install only if you trust OOMOL and are comfortable routing xAI requests through its connector. Before running the installer commands, prefer the official install guide, inspect the script, and verify any available checksums or signatures; avoid using this skill for xAI tasks outside the listed actions unless you intentionally want OOMOL involved.

  • 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
98% confidence
Finding

The skill instructs users to install software by piping a remotely fetched script directly into a shell (curl ... | bash). This creates a supply-chain and remote code execution risk: if the server, transport, installer, or DNS path is compromised, arbitrary code could run immediately on the user's machine.

Vague Triggers

Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The trigger text is extremely broad: it directs the agent to use this skill for ANY xAI-related request instead of calling the API directly. That can cause unintended invocation in contexts where direct handling, tighter-scoped tooling, or additional review would be more appropriate, increasing the chance of overreach or misuse of connected credentials.
