Security audit

Ouroboros

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is an explicit relay to an external Ouroboros service, but it installs and runs an unpinned third-party MCP package and forwards user/channel context with limited control.

Review this before installing. Only use it if you trust the Ouroboros MCP service and package publisher, understand that messages plus channel/guild/user identifiers may be sent to that service, and can run the MCP server in a constrained environment. Prefer a pinned, reviewed package version and avoid giving it access to unrelated repositories, credentials, or home-directory data.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Skill Instruction HijackingAlters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
  • Insecure DependenciesIntroduces malicious components through unsafe dependency sources
  • 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

Missing User Warnings

Medium

Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

The skill explicitly instructs forwarding channel_id, guild_id, user_id, and optionally message_id to an external MCP tool, but it provides no user-facing disclosure, consent, or data-minimization guidance. This creates a real privacy and data-handling risk because users may trigger the skill with a simple prefix without understanding that identifiers and message content are being transmitted to a separate service.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
71% confidence
Finding

The description hard-codes activation only when a message starts with ooo, but it does not impose a human language or locale restriction. Because this is a symbolic command prefix rather than a language/locale policy, this likely does not violate organizational language policy.
