Twitch API - Profiles, VODs, Clips, Schedule

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward Twitch data lookup helper that sends user-supplied Twitch identifiers to the disclosed Scavio API using a disclosed API key.

Before installing, understand that Twitch channel names, clip identifiers, and your Scavio API key will be sent to Scavio, and successful calls consume credits. Keep the API key out of source control and use the skill only when you are comfortable using Scavio as the third-party provider for Twitch data.

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
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • 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
