Risk Level: MEDIUMEXTERNAL_DOWNLOADSINDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION
Full Analysis
- [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill instructs the user to install additional functionality from an external GitHub repository (
ZeroPointRepo/youtube-skills) using thenpx skills addcommand. This pattern involves downloading and integrating third-party instructions and potentially executable code from an unverified source. - [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill documentation recommends adding a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server from a remote URL (
https://transcriptapi.com/mcp), which introduces a dependency on an external, third-party managed service endpoint. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill is designed to ingest YouTube transcripts, which are untrusted external data sources that could contain hidden instructions or malicious payloads intended to influence the agent's behavior.
- Ingestion points: Transcript content is fetched via the
/youtube/transcriptendpoint oftranscriptapi.cominSKILL.md. - Boundary markers: The skill does not provide instructions for using delimiters or boundary markers to separate the fetched transcript data from the agent's system instructions.
- Capability inventory: The skill utilizes network operations (
curl) and supports the installation of external toolsets vianpxandmcpcommands. - Sanitization: There are no requirements or methods specified for sanitizing, filtering, or validating the transcript text before it is processed by the agent.
