Poyo Generate Music Cover

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a narrow PoYo API helper that clearly discloses its external submission behavior and API-key requirement.

Install only if you intend to use PoYo's music cover API. Keep POYO_API_KEY server-side, review the JSON payload before submission, and do not pass arbitrary local files to the submit script because the selected file contents are sent to PoYo.

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

Credential Access

High
Category
Privilege Escalation
Confidence
70% confidence
Finding

Confidence
85% confidence
Finding

The script requires and uses POYO_API_KEY from the environment to authenticate a network request. Although the variable check is present, the file does not include any user-facing explanation or comment that the skill consumes a credential for remote submission.
