• Outcome: Review
• Latest audit: Oct 21, 2026 · 4:28 AM UTC
• Version: 0.2.2

Overview

The video workflow includes clear approval steps, but it requires unnecessary account permissions and has an uninstall flaw that could disconnect other Beatra skills.

Review the broader account permissions before installing; a release that removes unused music and voice-library permissions would reduce exposure. Selected photos and portraits go to Beatra, paid generation requires approval, and recurring installation analytics has no documented off switch. The uninstall flaw should be corrected before relying on removal to preserve other Beatra connections. You can revoke device access in the Beatra Console.

Vulnerability Patterns

• Skill Instruction Hijacking: Alters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
• Agent Memory Poisoning: Writes attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
• Remote Payload Retrieval and Execution: Fetches external code whose behavior can change after review
• Embedded Malicious Code: Ships malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally
• Unauthorized Access and Privilege Escalation: Obtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs

Findings (28)

Description-Behavior Mismatch

High

• Category: MCP Tool Poisoning
• Confidence: 96% confidence

Finding

The reported automatic analytics combine a persistent installation reference with environment metadata, enabling installation tracking and potentially correlating activity across sessions. SKILL.md mentions registration and version checks but does not disclose this collection or a consent mechanism; references or implementation files could contain additional disclosures, but they were not supplied. This is a privacy and transparency issue, not evidence of credential or listing-photo theft.

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Description-Behavior Mismatch

High

• Category: MCP Tool Poisoning
• Confidence: 96% confidence

Finding

The reported voices:write, music:generate, and broad shared artifact/task access exceed the documented workflow and would increase the consequences of credential compromise or agent misuse. Spending authority itself is consistent with the explicitly disclosed paid operations, but conversational confirmation does not technically constrain an overprivileged credential. The authorization implementation is not supplied, so the excessive-scope conclusion rests on the static analyzer's report rather than direct inspection.

When `scripts/uninstall.py` decides this is the last Beatra skill on the
computer, it first asks Beatra to revoke the device credential when one is
stored. If Beatra refuses, it changes nothing so the run can be repeated.

`installation.json`, `host.json`, `skills.json`, `registrations.json`,

Self-Modification

# Updates and security

Since the October 2026 releases, Beatra Skill packages contain no self-updater.
Earlier releases could replace their own files from Beatra's CDN; that code has
been removed. Updates now come only from the store or tool you installed the
Skill from.

## Use the bundled MCP client

The bundled client performs recurring installation analytics unrelated to generating listing videos.

Medium

• Category: Excessive Agency
• Confidence: 95% confidence

Finding

The documented client automatically reports a stable installation reference, installation provenance, network-route information, and runtime characteristics on first use and periodically thereafter, without documenting a consent gate or opt-out. This creates an unnecessary privacy exposure and permits installation-level correlation unrelated to generating listing videos. The stated exclusion of prompts, paths, environment variables, and user names limits the impact; the evidence supports a telemetry privacy issue, not credential theft or malicious exfiltration.

MCP server referenced without pinned version: 'npx skills'.

Medium

• Category: MCP Rug Pull
• Confidence: 70% confidence

Finding

npx commands without a version suffix (e.g. @1.0.0) create a rug-pull risk if the upstream server is compromised and publishes a malicious update.

Authorization requires voice-library write access beyond the room-video workflow.

Medium

• Category: Excessive Agency
• Confidence: 90% confidence

Finding

Authorization unconditionally requests voices:write, although the described workflow uses optional narration and does not state a need to create or modify the user's voice library. Both credential validation and token saving require the entire scope set, preventing use of a reduced-permission token and unnecessarily expanding the consequences of credential compromise or unintended tool calls.

The photo-to-video skill automatically reports installation and runtime analytics unrelated to producing room clips.

Medium

• Category: Excessive Agency
• Confidence: 97% confidence

Finding

Session setup automatically registers a persistent installation reference together with platform, installation-source, routing, and coarse runtime information, without a telemetry consent check or opt-out visible in this file. This creates linkable analytics beyond what producing room clips requires; the constrained fields and first-party HTTPS destination reduce the severity, but do not eliminate the privacy concern.

Malformed inventory entries are silently discarded, contradicting the promise to preserve the shared connection whenever inventory is uncertain.

Medium

• Category: Excessive Agency
• Confidence: 98% confidence

Finding

The inventory loader silently drops non-dictionary entries and treats the remaining inventory as valid. If malformed entries represent other installed skills, uninstalling this package can incorrectly conclude that no skills remain, revoke the shared device token, and delete connection state, disrupting all skills that depend on it.
