Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward YouTube search API helper that sends user-provided searches to AIsa using the configured API key.

Install this only if you are comfortable sending YouTube search terms, country/language filters, and your AISA_API_KEY-authenticated requests to AIsa. Keep the API key scoped and private, and review AIsa's terms and billing because the skill notes per-request cost and remaining credits in responses.

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
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • MCP Least PrivilegeUnderdeclared Capability, Wildcard Permission, Missing Permission Declaration
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding
The skill documents network access and use of an environment-stored API key, but it does not declare an explicit tool scope such as allowed-tools or permissions. That mismatch reduces transparency and weakens policy enforcement, making it easier for an agent runtime to grant broader capabilities than reviewers expect.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding
This code file performs outbound HTTP requests to a third-party API and includes both user-supplied search terms and a bearer token in the request. Although the module docstring describes API usage, there is no explicit warning, confirmation, or user-facing disclosure that queries and metadata are transmitted off-host to api.aisa.one.
