Slack

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This Slack skill is coherent and mostly disclosed, but its fallback setup tells the agent to install a CLI by directly executing a remote installer script without an integrity check or clear user approval.

Before installing, review the OOMOL CLI installer through an official guide, prefer a package-manager or verified release path when available, and do not let the agent run the installer automatically. For Slack write or delete actions, confirm the exact channel, message, file, and payload before execution.

Finding

The skill instructs the agent to install software by piping a remotely fetched script directly into a shell, which is a well-known unsafe pattern. If the remote host, transport, or distribution path is compromised, arbitrary code would execute immediately on the user's machine with the user's privileges; because this appears in a setup section for command recovery, an agent may be more likely to run it automatically after an error.
