The mutable `@latest` selector does not identify a specific reviewed release or commit. Consequently, the source code installed later may differ from the code that was available when this Skill was audited. The module path is consistent with the declared Sonos command-line tool, and the reviewed files contain no evidence of typosquatting or an intentionally malicious dependency. Nevertheless, relying on a mutable upstream revision creates a supply-chain risk. A compromised upstream repository, maintainer account, newly published release, or transitive dependency could cause future installations to compile attacker-controlled code. ### Attack Path 1. An attacker compromises the upstream repository, a maintainer account, the release process, or a dependency incorporated by a future upstream revision. 2. The attacker publishes or causes Go tooling to select a malicious revision as the current `latest` version. 3. A user or agent installs this Skill after that change. 4. The installation mechanism resolves `github.com/steipete/sonoscli/cmd/sonos@latest` rather than a previously reviewed immutable revision. 5. Go downloads and compiles the altered module and its transitive dependencies. 6. When the agent invokes the installed `sonos` binary, the malicious code executes with the privileges and environmental access of that process. ### Impact Assessment Successful exploitation could permit arbitrary behavior under the installing or executing us ...[truncated 419 chars]
- Remediation
- ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Replace `@latest` with a reviewed, explicit semantic version or immutable commit identifier. 2. Record and review the exact selected module version and all transitive dependencies before publishing the Skill. 3. Retain Go module checksum verification and ensure the trusted checksum database or an approved internal equivalent is used. 4. Generate a software bill of materials or dependency lock record for reproducible review and installation. 5. Introduce automated dependency scanning and provenance verification in the release process. 6. Update the pinned revision only through a controlled process that reviews upstream changes, validates checksums, and tests the resulting binary before release.
