Openclaw Youtube

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

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

Install only if you are comfortable sending YouTube search terms, country/language/filter parameters, and your AIsa API key to AIsa's API. Avoid putting private or sensitive information into search queries, and use a scoped API key if the provider supports it.

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
82% confidence
Finding

The skill declares it is user-invocable and requires an API key plus Python/network-capable execution, but it does not define an explicit tool scope such as allowed-tools or permissions. In agents that enforce least-privilege through manifest metadata, this omission can cause the skill to run with broader default capabilities than intended, increasing the risk of unauthorized network access or environment-variable exposure if the implementation is modified or abused.

External Transmission

Medium
Category
Data Exfiltration
Confidence
60% 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
87% confidence
Finding

This code sends the user's query parameters to a remote API and includes an Authorization bearer token, but the script provides no confirmation prompt or user-facing notice at the point of execution. For a code file, network transmission of user or system data can be flagged when there is no visible disclosure beyond internal docstrings.
