scripts/image_gen.py:2-7
Vulnerability Type: Unpinned third-party runtime dependencies
Risk Level: MediumVulnerable Code:
python # /// script # requires-python = ">=3.10" # dependencies = [ # "requests>=2.28.0", # "pillow>=10.0.0", # ] # ///Technical Analysis
The script declares
requestsandpillowwith lower-bound constraints but no exact versions or integrity hashes. The documenteduv runexecution model may therefore resolve and install future package releases that were not reviewed with the Skill.No malicious package name, alternate package source, or dependency confusion attempt was observed. This is nevertheless a supply-chain weakness: compromise of a legitimate package release, package registry, or dependency resolution environment could cause attacker-controlled code to execute during installation or import.
Attack Path
- An attacker compromises a permitted future release of
requests,pillow, or a transitive dependency, or influences the configured package registry. - A user invokes
image_gen.pythrough the documenteduv runcommand in an environment without a trusted lockfile. - The resolver selects the compromised version because it satisfies the lower-bound constraint.
- Malicious installation or import-time code executes with the privileges of the user running the Skill.
- The malicious dependency can access process environment variables, including
SILICONFLOW_API_KEY, user-supplied prompts, generated media, and files accessible to that user.
Impact Assessment
Successful exploitation could provide arbitrary code execution under the invoking user's account. The resulting access is bounded by that user's operating-system permissions but may include the SiliconFlow API key, submitted prompts, generated images, writable output paths, and other locally readable files.

Remediation Suggestions
- Pin every direct dependency to an exact, reviewed version.
- Commit and enforce a
uvlockfile that also fixes transitive dependency versions. - Verify downloaded distributions using trusted hashes where supported.
- Restrict dependency resolution to an approved package index.
- Perform dependency updates through a reviewed process with vulnerability and provenance checks.
- Run the script with only the filesystem and environment access required for image generation.
