Security audit
tube-scout
Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk
Overview
Tube Scout is a clearly disclosed, read-only YouTube research skill that installs and pairs with the ClawLink plugin to fetch public YouTube data using paid credits.
Install only if you are comfortable pairing OpenClaw with ClawLink and spending ClawLink credits for public YouTube lookups. Review costs before broad research runs, and do not use it for private account data or actions that post or modify content.
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
