Poyo Get Timestamped Lyrics

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed PoYo API helper that sends user-confirmed timestamped-lyrics requests to poyo.ai and does not show hidden, persistent, or unrelated behavior.

Install only if you intend to use PoYo's timestamped-lyrics API. Treat POYO_API_KEY as a secret, review the JSON payload before submission, and avoid sending private lyrics, task IDs, audio IDs, or callback URLs unless that data is meant for 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

  • MCP Least PrivilegeUnderdeclared Capability, Wildcard Permission, Missing Permission Declaration

Credential Access

High
Category
Privilege Escalation
Confidence
70% confidence
Finding

Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.

Undeclared Tool Scope

Medium
Category
MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
87% confidence
Finding

The skill advertises shell-based execution via curl and a submission script, but it does not declare any explicit tool scope such as allowed-tools or permissions. That mismatch weakens policy enforcement and can let an agent invoke shell capability more broadly than reviewers or runtime controls expect, increasing the chance of unintended command execution or secret exposure.

Finding

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

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
92% confidence
Finding

This shell script performs an HTTP POST to an external API and sends the contents of a user-supplied payload file along with an authorization bearer token. The file contains no confirmation prompt, user-facing log message, or explanatory comment warning that local data will be transmitted to a remote service.
