Alibaba Cloud AI Audio ASR Realtime

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a straightforward Alibaba Cloud realtime speech-to-text helper, with disclosed local output and API-key use that users should handle carefully.

Before installing, be prepared to provide an Alibaba Cloud API key and avoid committing or sharing it. Keep any saved ASR payloads, transcripts, and response samples out of public repositories or shared workspaces unless they have been redacted.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • 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
  • Unauthorized Access and Privilege EscalationObtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs

Undeclared Tool Scope

Medium
Category
MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
70% confidence
Finding

Without declared permissions the skill's intent is opaque and cannot be validated.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Session Persistence

Medium
Category
Rogue Agent
Confidence
60% confidence
Finding

Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The skill explicitly instructs users to save session payloads and response samples, but ASR session data can contain transcripts, speaker content, metadata, and other personal or confidential information. Omitting a warning or retention guidance increases the risk of accidental persistence of sensitive speech-derived data in local artifacts, logs, or shared workspaces.

Missing User Warnings

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
85% confidence
Finding

For markdown files, warnings should be present when behavior could affect privacy or system integrity. Mentioning credential configuration is legitimate, but the document omits any note that the API key is sensitive and should not be logged, committed, or exposed in saved outputs.
