cliptude-plan

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill’s media uploads, account access, and paid rendering steps are disclosed and fit its video-making purpose.

Upload only media you intend Cliptude to store and process. Check credit costs before starting, supply only the provider keys you need, and review the scope before approving signed-in browser access.

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
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

External Transmission

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.

- **Getting your files to Cliptude.** Upload them; nothing has to be public. From any host, remote MCP included
  (claude.ai, ChatGPT, any agent on `mcp.cliptude.com`) as long as you can run `curl`:
  1. Narration, before the job: `start_voiceover_upload(filename, size)` → PUT each part's bytes to its signed
     `url` (`tail -c +$((offset+1)) FILE | head -c LENGTH | curl -sf -X PUT --data-binary @- "URL"`, or
     `curl -sf -X PUT --upload-file FILE "URL"` for one part) → `finish_voiceover_upload(key, upload_id)` → pass its
     `voiceover_url` to `create_plan_job(render_only=true, …)` within the hour.
  2. Pictures and clips, on the job: `start_media_upload(job, filename, size)` → PUT the parts the same way →

Autonomous Decision Making

Medium
Category
Excessive Agency
Confidence
75% confidence
Finding

Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.

### Finding your own media (render-only)
Cliptude searches for nothing on these jobs, so the pictures and clips come from you, and you must be allowed to use
each one in a published video: Cliptude stores and renders what you send. Good sources, most usable without asking:
- **Free stock with an API key you create:** Pexels (`api.pexels.com`, photos and video) and Pixabay
  (`pixabay.com/api`, photos and video). Both allow commercial use without credit; read their license for identifiable
  people, brands and logos (no implied endorsement, no reselling an unaltered file).
