Qwen Video (Wan)

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This video-generation skill appears purpose-aligned, but it disables HTTPS certificate checks while using an API key and has weak request/output safety controls.

Install only if you are comfortable patching or reviewing the scripts first. Remove curl -k, use a limited DashScope API key if possible, avoid sensitive prompts or audio URLs, and choose an output path where overwriting an MP4 would not matter.

Context-Inappropriate Capability

Medium
Confidence
99% confidence
Finding
The script disables TLS certificate verification with curl -k while sending an Authorization bearer token and user-supplied content to a remote API. This enables man-in-the-middle interception or tampering, which can expose the API key, alter requests, or forge responses; the video-generation context does not justify weakening transport security.

Missing User Warnings

Low
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding
The description says the skill will download the MP4 locally but does not clearly warn that it writes to an arbitrary user-specified local path, including a Windows Desktop path from WSL2. While this is not code execution, it can cause unexpected local filesystem modification and weakens informed consent for potentially sensitive destinations.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding
The script downloads remote content with curl -k, which disables TLS certificate verification and allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to substitute arbitrary content for the video download. Because the file is then written directly to a user-specified path, this can silently overwrite local files with attacker-controlled data, which is especially risky in an agent skill that automatically retrieves and stores outputs.

Missing User Warnings

High
Confidence
99% confidence
Finding
Certificate verification is explicitly disabled for an outbound HTTPS request without any warning or opt-in, so users may assume the API call is protected when it is not. Because the request includes a bearer token, an attacker on the network path could impersonate the API endpoint and capture credentials or manipulate job submission/results.
