voice-clone-series-studio

• Outcome: Review
• Latest audit: Oct 21, 2026 · 5:21 AM UTC
• Version: 0.2.3

Overview

This voice studio needs review because it requests unrelated media permissions and has an uninstall bug that can disrupt other Beatra skills.

Review the broad account approval carefully: voice-only authorization is unavailable. Voice samples and scripts go to Beatra for paid processing, and installation analytics are automatic. Ask the publisher to narrow permissions and fix inventory validation. If you use several Beatra skills, corrupted inventory could make uninstalling this package disconnect the others.

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 (30)

Description-Behavior Mismatch

High

• Category: MCP Tool Poisoning
• Confidence: 97% confidence

Finding

The reported image, video, and music generation permissions exceed the voice-cloning and narration workflow and would unnecessarily expand what a stolen credential or compromised client could do. However, wallet spending is not itself a purpose mismatch: this file explicitly describes paid cloning and synthesis with user confirmation. The excess-scope conclusion relies on the static report because the authorization implementation is not included.

Description-Behavior Mismatch

High

• Category: MCP Tool Poisoning
• Confidence: 94% confidence

Finding

The reported automatic transmission of a persistent installation identity and environment metadata introduces tracking unrelated to producing narration. This file discloses version checks but does not disclose the reported analytics collection, creating a privacy and transparency concern rather than evidence of credential theft or malicious exfiltration. The implementation and referenced registration documents were not supplied, so consent, retention, and the precise collection behavior remain unverified.

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.
Otherwise it unlinks exactly these names in `~/.beatra/`: `credentials.json`,

# 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.

Malformed inventory entries are silently discarded, contradicting the documented fail-safe policy of retaining the shared connection whenever inventory is uncertain.

High

• Category: Excessive Agency
• Confidence: 99% confidence

Finding

The inventory loader silently discards non-dictionary entries and reports the remaining inventory as valid. A corrupted inventory containing only this package and malformed records can therefore be interpreted as proof that no other skills remain, triggering shared credential revocation and local-state deletion. Because the connection is shared, uninstalling this voice-cloning skill can disrupt other installed skills, contrary to the stated fail-safe policy.

Autonomous Decision Making

Finding

Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.

- say prominently that a signed-out browser lands on Beatra sign-in first:
  the user signs in or creates their account there, and the approval page

  ask the user to confirm in chat that they approved.
- on the mainland China network, follow the sign-in and console-link guidance
  in [MCP connection](mcp-connection.md#network-route).

Installation-source attribution is collected from the conversation without a user-facing privacy disclosure.

Medium

• Category: Output Handling
• Confidence: 87% confidence

Finding

The instructions repurpose conversation context to record installation-source attribution without informing the user. This is unrelated to generating voice narration and creates a limited privacy concern, although the fixed source categories constrain disclosure and this document does not establish whether the command transmits the attribution remotely.

Use one of `website`, `github`, `skillhub`, `skillatlas`, `modelscope`,
`workbuddy`, `clawhub`, or `other`. If the conversation does not show it,
skip this and do not ask the user. If the command is not recognized, skip it.

## Use the bundled MCP client

The documented client performs recurring installation analytics unrelated to voice cloning or narration.

Medium

• Category: Excessive Agency
• Confidence: 94% confidence

Finding

The file states that the bundled client calls beatra.installations.register on first use and periodically thereafter, reporting a stable installation reference, installation source, network route, and runtime characteristics. This installation and distribution analytics capability is not necessary for creating or reusing a cloned voice and is not declared in the skill's manifest description.

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

Medium

• Category: MCP Rug Pull
• Confidence: 85% confidence

Finding

The second npx skills invocation, for global updates, has the same conditional arbitrary-code execution risk from resolving an unpinned npm CLI. It is another occurrence of the same supply-chain issue, not an independent MCP-server vulnerability; exploitation requires someone to run the documented command and resolve a malicious package.

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

Medium

• Category: MCP Rug Pull
• Confidence: 85% confidence

Finding

The update guidance recommends running npx skills without a version pin, which can download and execute a changing npm package with the caller's permissions. This is a conditional supply-chain risk if the resolved package is compromised, rather than an unpinned MCP server; the command is optional documentation, not evidence of automatic execution.

Voice-cloning authorization requests unrelated image, video, and music generation capabilities.

Medium

• Category: Excessive Agency
• Confidence: 98% confidence

Finding

The voice-cloning and narration workflow requests image, video, and music generation scopes that are not justified by its stated purpose. These permissions unnecessarily expand what a compromised credential or misdirected agent can do, including potentially spending wallet funds on unrelated generation. Sharing the credential across Beatra skills helps explain this design but does not establish least-privilege authorization for this skill.

Content

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.
