Security audit

Slack

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This Slack skill is mostly coherent, but its setup instructions include running a remotely downloaded installer directly in a shell without verification.

Review this before installing if you are not comfortable with OOMOL managing the Slack connection or with installing the oo CLI from a remote script. Prefer a verified package manager, signed release, or manually inspected installer before connecting a Slack workspace, and confirm every write or delete action carefully.

External Script Fetching

High
Category
Supply Chain
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding

The skill instructs the agent 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 install endpoint, transport, DNS, or upstream distribution is compromised, arbitrary code would execute immediately on the host without verification.

Finding

The description says to use this skill for "ANY Slack request" and "Whenever a task involves Slack," which is an extremely broad activation condition. It does not define boundaries, exclusions, or narrower trigger phrases, so ordinary references to Slack could activate the skill unintentionally.
