Security audit

XYDC MCP

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The XYDC integration is coherent, but its setup can execute an unverified remote installer and introduce persistent agent skills without clearly explaining those changes.

Review setup before enabling this skill. Install a verified CLI release yourself and require approval for subsequent software installation. Consider disabling startup skill synchronization with OO_SKILLS_SYNC_DISABLED=1, as documented in the CLI reference. OOMOL mediates connected-account access, and analysis calls can spend credits. The remote installers remain unverified; no artifact evidence establishes malicious intent.

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
  • MCP Tool PoisoningHidden Instructions, Unicode Deception, Parameter Description Injection
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration

Description-Behavior Mismatch

High
Category
MCP Tool Poisoning
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding

The supplied chunk performs remote software installation, not XYDC MCP data operations. Installation could be a supporting implementation detail if a dependency relationship were established, but none is shown here. The downloaded script's contents and further effects cannot be determined from this chunk.

External Script Fetching

High
Category
Supply Chain
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding

The setup instructions pipe a remotely downloaded, unpinned script directly into Bash without integrity verification or inspection; the PowerShell alternative uses the same download-and-execute pattern. Compromise of the installer delivery infrastructure could execute arbitrary commands with the invoking user's privileges. Restricting installation to a missing-CLI error reduces exposure but does not secure execution, and the text does not require explicit installation approval.

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.
