Security audit

Publora Tiktok

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a small documentation-only skill that shows how to post or schedule TikTok videos through Publora, with its external API use clearly tied to that purpose.

Install only if you intend to let the agent help create or schedule TikTok posts through Publora. Treat the Publora API key as sensitive, review captions/videos before upload, and confirm the target TikTok platform ID and schedule time before running examples against a real account.

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
