Security audit

Script + Custom Media

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward Revid video-rendering helper that sends a user-provided script and public media URLs to Revid, with no hidden persistence or unrelated local access found.

Install only if you are comfortable sending the script, media URLs, and Revid API-authenticated render requests to Revid. Use intentionally public media links, avoid private or sensitive assets unless you accept that exposure, and keep the REVID_API_KEY scoped and protected.

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

Undeclared Tool Scope

Medium
Category
MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding

The skill directs the agent to validate user-supplied media URLs and references an executable shell example, but it does not declare any tool restrictions or allowed-tools scope. That creates unnecessary ambiguity about what execution and network capabilities the agent may use, increasing the chance of over-privileged behavior such as arbitrary URL fetching or shell-based validation against attacker-controlled endpoints.

External Transmission

Data Exfiltration
Confidence
70% confidence
Finding

Data is being sent to an external URL. This could be legitimate telemetry or data exfiltration. Manual review is recommended.

Missing User Warnings

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
84% confidence
Finding

This markdown skill instructs users to supply public media URLs, and later directs validation that each URL returns 200, which implies external network retrieval of user-provided assets. While the input note says URLs must be public, it does not explicitly warn users about the privacy implication that assets will be fetched by a third-party service and therefore should not contain sensitive or private content.

Vague Triggers

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
84% confidence
Finding

This JSON describes a workflow configuration but provides no invocation phrases, activation conditions, or exclusion criteria that clarify when the skill should be used. For manifest-style files, the absence of trigger specificity can make invocation behavior ambiguous if this file is used to define or advertise skill activation.
