OPENCLAW-操作手册.md:bash python3 -m pip install pillowTechnical Analysis
The installation instructions retrieve Pillow without specifying a reviewed version, verifying a package hash, or using a lockfile. Consequently, the dependency resolved during installation can change after the skill has been audited.
Although the package name is legitimate and no malicious dependency is embedded in the project, the instructions do not guarantee that users install the same dependency artifact that was reviewed and tested. A compromised package repository, compromised upstream release, or unsafe future package version could introduce malicious installation behavior or incompatible runtime behavior. Python package installation can execute package build or installation logic with the privileges of the user invoking
pip.Attack Path
- An attacker compromises the upstream package distribution channel, a maintainer account, or a future package release.
- A user follows the documented command and runs
pip install pillowwithout a version or hash constraint. pipresolves and downloads the currently published artifact rather than a previously reviewed artifact.- Malicious build or installation logic executes with the invoking user's privileges, or malicious runtime behavior is loaded when
render.pyimports Pillow. - The compromised dependency can access resources available to that user and affect every subsequent invocation within the same Python environment.
This path depends on compromise or malicious modification of the external dependency supply chain; the audited repository does not itself retrieve code from an arbitrary URL or contain an e ...[truncated 703 chars]

Remediation Suggestions
- Add a dependency lock file containing a reviewed Pillow version and its cryptographic hashes, for example:
text Pillow==<reviewed-version> \ --hash=sha256:<verified-wheel-hash> - Replace the direct installation command with:
bash python3 -m pip install --require-hashes -r requirements.txt - Generate and review hashes for every supported platform and Python version rather than inserting placeholder values.
- Install dependencies in a dedicated virtual environment instead of the system Python environment:
bash python3 -m venv .venv . .venv/bin/activate python3 -m pip install --require-hashes -r requirements.txt - Document the tested Python and Pillow versions and update them through an explicit dependency-review process.
- Apply the same hardened installation instructions consistently in both
SKILL.mdandOPENCLAW-操作手册.md. - In automated environments, scan locked dependencies for known vulnerabilities and verify artifacts against an approved package index or internal mirror before deployment.
- Add a dependency lock file containing a reviewed Pillow version and its cryptographic hashes, for example:
