The installation instructions request
requestsandplaywrightwithout exact version constraints, package hashes, or a lockfile. Consequently, each installation can resolve to dependency versions that differ from those reviewed during this audit. Theplaywright installcommand also downloads browser artifacts whose versions depend on the dynamically resolved Playwright release.The skill metadata declares only
requests, while the quick-start instructions additionally install Playwright and its browser payload. This discrepancy makes the complete dependency set less visible to automated installation and review processes.No malicious dependency is currently identified in the reviewed files. The confirmed weakness is the absence of reproducible, integrity-verified dependency resolution. Exploitation requires compromise of an upstream package release, package-distribution account, dependency artifact, or another relevant part of the package supply chain.
Attack Path
- An attacker compromises a dependency release or its distribution channel, or publishes a malicious version that is selected by dependency resolution.
- A user follows the documented installation instructions:
bash pip3 install requests playwright playwright install - Because no versions or hashes are specified, the installer resolves and downloads the affected release or artifact.
- Malicious installation logic or imported runtime code executes under the account running the installation or skill.
- The payload can ac ...[truncated 672 chars]

Remediation Suggestions
- Pin every direct dependency to a reviewed exact version, for example:
text requests==<reviewed-version> playwright==<reviewed-version> - Generate a lockfile or fully pinned requirements file that includes transitive dependencies.
- Require cryptographic hashes during installation, such as with
pip install --require-hashes -r requirements.txt. - Declare Playwright consistently in both skill metadata and installation documentation so automated review covers the complete dependency set.
- Pin and verify Playwright browser artifacts rather than implicitly downloading artifacts selected by an unconstrained package release.
- Install dependencies in an isolated virtual environment as a non-privileged user.
- Use a trusted package index, monitor dependency advisories, and review updates before changing pinned versions.
- Add automated dependency and lockfile integrity checks to the release process.
- Pin every direct dependency to a reviewed exact version, for example:
