Poyo Deepseek V4 Chat

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed PoYo DeepSeek chat API helper that only sends user-prepared payloads to the stated PoYo endpoint when explicitly used.

Before installing, understand that using the submit script will send the selected JSON chat payload to PoYo with your POYO_API_KEY. Keep the key server-side, review payloads for confidential content, and only make live calls when you intend to use PoYo's hosted model service.

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
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • MCP Least PrivilegeUnderdeclared Capability, Wildcard Permission, Missing Permission Declaration
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code
