Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a Markdown-only YouTube SEO guidance skill with no code execution, persistence, credential handling, or destructive behavior.

Installers should understand that this skill may activate for broad YouTube SEO-adjacent requests, but its behavior is limited to generating optimization guidance and optionally reading declared project context files for keyword and content strategy context.

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
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration

Finding

The activation text says to use the skill whenever the user wants to optimize YouTube videos, create video descriptions, or improve channel visibility, which is a wide natural-language scope rather than a tightly bounded trigger. Although some example phrases are provided, terms like "YouTube description," "YouTube title," and "YouTube channel" are common enough to create ambiguity about when this skill should activate versus other YouTube-related skills.
