Cinematic Video

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a disclosed CellCog video-generation skill with ordinary installation and API-key requirements, though users should install dependencies carefully and ensure media rights are cleared.

Before installing, use an isolated environment where practical, verify the CellCog package/source and publisher, avoid automatic upgrades when reproducibility matters, and only use brand assets, music, logos, or identifiable people when you have the necessary rights or consent.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Insecure DependenciesIntroduces malicious components through unsafe dependency sources
  • Skill Instruction HijackingAlters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
  • Agent Memory PoisoningWrites attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
  • Remote Payload Retrieval and ExecutionFetches external code whose behavior can change after review
  • Embedded Malicious CodeShips malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally

Missing User Warnings

Confidence

Finding

The skill encourages creation of brand films, product videos, and similar commercial media but does not warn about rights clearance for logos, trademarks, copyrighted music, uploaded assets, or identifiable people. In this context, users may unknowingly generate or submit infringing or unauthorized materials, creating legal, privacy, and misuse risk.

Finding

The documentation instructs users to run npx skills add cellcog/skills --skill cellcog without pinning an explicit version. This can cause users to fetch and execute whatever version is current at install time, increasing supply-chain risk if the package or upstream registry entry is compromised or a breaking/malicious update is published.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Confidence

Finding

Natural-language policy issues include forcing a format or locale without opt-in. Here, the skill presents widescreen 16:9 as the default and recommended format, which is later reinforced as the intended way cinema should be experienced, rather than framing it as an optional default based on user needs.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Confidence

Finding

The statement '16:9 is your default. It's how cinema is meant to be experienced.' is a natural-language constraint that pushes one format as mandatory or normative. The policy allows such constraints only when users are given a choice or the restriction is clearly justified; neither is done in this line.
