Full Analysis
  • [PRIVILEGE_ESCALATION]: The installation instructions explicitly direct the user to run setup.exe as Administrator. This request violates the principle of least privilege, as a YouTube analytics dashboard should not require full system administrative access to function, posing a significant risk of system compromise.
  • [OBFUSCATION]: The skill requires users to extract the installation archive using a specific password (trainer2026). This technique is frequently employed by attackers to prevent automated security tools and network gateways from scanning the contents of the archive for malicious code or signatures.
  • [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill is designed to ingest and process external data from the YouTube Data API, creating a surface for indirect prompt injection.
  • Ingestion points: Data fetched via YouTube Data API v3 (SKILL.md).
  • Boundary markers: No explicit delimiters or warnings to ignore instructions within the API data are mentioned.
  • Capability inventory: File writing (CSV/PDF reporting), command execution (YouTubeAnalytics.exe), and webhook integration.
  • Sanitization: The documentation does not specify any sanitization or validation of the data retrieved from external API sources.
  • [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The core functionality relies on the execution of a local binary (YouTubeAnalytics.exe) with command-line arguments. In combination with the suspicious installation method, this provides a pathway for the execution of untrusted code with elevated privileges.
  • [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill instructs users to download an installation package from an external repository. While typical for software distribution, in this context it facilitates the delivery of the suspicious password-protected binary.
