RoughCut

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill has a coherent video-editing purpose, but it runs an unpinned external local repository script and may ask for a raw Gemini API key without enough handling guidance.

Install only if you trust and control the referenced RoughCut checkout. Before running, verify the repository origin and commit yourself, avoid running from an arbitrary modified `repo_root`, and provide `GEMINI_API_KEY` through a local environment variable only when fluff removal is explicitly enabled. Treat direct download URLs and generated debug bundles as potentially sensitive because they may contain or derive from your video content.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Insecure DependenciesIntroduces malicious components through unsafe dependency sources
  • 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

Finding

The skill explicitly instructs the agent to ask the user for a GEMINI_API_KEY and use it for fluff removal, but it does not provide clear guidance on secure handling, storage, scope limitation, or warnings about sharing secrets with the agent runtime. In an agent setting, requesting credentials can expose users to unnecessary secret disclosure, accidental logging, reuse in unintended contexts, or persistence in transcripts and environment configuration.
