Poyo Happy Horse 1 1

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward PoYo video-generation helper that sends user-prepared prompts or image URLs to the documented PoYo API only for its stated purpose.

Install only if you intend to use PoYo Happy Horse 1.1. Keep POYO_API_KEY secret, review payload JSON before submission, and do not send private prompts, private image URLs, or internal callback URLs unless you are comfortable sharing that data with 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
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep

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.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding

This shell script performs an HTTP POST to a remote service and sends the contents of a user-supplied payload file, but it provides no confirmation prompt, warning message, or explanatory comment indicating that local data will be transmitted externally. Because network transmission of user data is a safety-relevant operation in a code file, the lack of disclosure meets the missing user warning criterion.
