Security audit

Poyo Veo 3 1 Official Api

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed PoYo video-generation API helper that sends user-prepared payloads to PoYo only when requested, with no hidden persistence or unrelated local access found.

Install only if you intend to use PoYo's Veo API. Keep POYO_API_KEY server-side, review payload JSON before submission, and avoid sending confidential prompts, private media URLs, or sensitive callback URLs unless you trust PoYo and the receiving webhook 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
Findings (12)

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
82% confidence
Finding

The skill declares shell-capable behavior via curl usage and a submission script, but it does not define any explicit tool scope such as allowed-tools or permissions. This can lead to overbroad execution in agent environments, increasing the chance that a model invokes shell access unexpectedly or with more capability than intended.

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

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding

Lines L13-L17 perform an HTTP POST to an external API using the contents of the user-supplied JSON file and an Authorization bearer token from the environment. The script includes no confirmation prompt, user-facing notice, or explanatory comment/docstring warning that local data will be sent off-host with credentials.
