Publora Linkedin

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward Publora LinkedIn API reference, but it can guide live posting, commenting, reactions, and deletion when the user provides credentials.

Install this only if you intend for an agent to help operate a Publora-connected LinkedIn account. Treat post creation, comments, reactions, scheduling, and deletion as live account actions, keep the Publora API key private, and require clear user confirmation before any public write or delete operation.

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

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The skill explicitly enables posting, scheduling, reacting, commenting, and deletion of LinkedIn content, but the description does not warn that these are live, state-changing operations. In an agent setting, this increases the risk of unintended external actions or destructive changes being triggered without clear user awareness or confirmation.
