Publora Youtube

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a small Publora YouTube API guide whose external uploads are disclosed and match its stated purpose.

Install only if you intend to let an agent prepare Publora API calls for YouTube publishing. Treat the Publora API key as sensitive, confirm the target channel, privacy setting, schedule time, and video file before running examples, because the workflow can publish or schedule public content.

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
