Security audit

Youtube Reporter by CreatorDB

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward CreatorDB YouTube lookup helper that uses an API key to query CreatorDB, with no hidden persistence or unrelated local access.

Install this only if you intend your creator searches and channel IDs to be sent to CreatorDB using your CreatorDB API key. Treat returned audience and sponsorship analytics as third-party data and avoid querying sensitive or confidential targets unless that fits your workflow.

A.I.G

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

Tool Parameter Abuse

High
Category
Tool Misuse
Content
## Search YouTubers by Name

```bash
curl --request POST \
  --url https://apiv3.creatordb.app/youtube/search \
  --header 'Accept: application/json' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
Confidence
60% confidence
Finding
Tool parameters are crafted to achieve unintended or unsafe behavior. Parameter abuse can bypass intended safety checks (e.g. shell=True, --force, dangerous glob patterns).

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding
The skill sends authenticated requests to a third-party service and retrieves potentially sensitive profile and audience-demographic data, but it does not include any warning, consent guidance, or disclosure that user-provided search terms and API-backed lookups will be transmitted externally. In an agent setting, this can cause unintentional privacy and data-sharing issues because operators may not realize that inputs and lookups are leaving the local environment.

External Transmission

Category
Data Exfiltration
Content
## Search YouTubers by Name

```bash
curl --request POST \
  --url https://apiv3.creatordb.app/youtube/search \
  --header 'Accept: application/json' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding
The curl examples make authenticated outbound requests to an external API using the CREATORDB_API_KEY, which means user queries and associated identifiers are transmitted off-system. While this is expected for the skill's purpose, it is still a real external-transmission risk in an agent environment if users are not informed or if the skill is invoked on sensitive targets.
