Vulnerability Type: Unpinned runtime dependencies and unsafe supply-chain resolution
Risk Level: MediumVulnerable Code
python # /// script # requires-python = ">=3.10" # dependencies = [ # "elevenlabs>=1.0.0", # "python-dotenv", # ] # ///Technical Analysis
The documented execution method uses
uv run, which can resolve and install the inline dependencies when the script is invoked. Theelevenlabsdependency specifies only a lower version bound, whilepython-dotenvhas no version constraint. The project contains no reviewed lockfile or package hashes to ensure that the same verified artifacts are installed on every execution.This allows dependency resolution to select future package versions whose code was not reviewed as part of this audit. Python packages can execute code during installation or import. Both dependencies are imported before the API key is read and used:
python from elevenlabs.client import ElevenLabs from dotenv import load_dotenv load_dotenv()A compromised package release, registry account, distribution artifact, or transitive dependency could therefore execute with the permissions of the user running the Skill. This is a supply-chain risk; the reviewed source does not itself prove that the current dependency releases are malicious.
Attack Path
- An attacker compromises a dependency publisher, package distribution artifact, package registry account, or an unconstrained transitive dependency.
- The attacker publishes a malicious version satisfying
elevenlabs>=1.0.0or any available version selected for unconstrainedpython-dotenv. - A user invokes the Skill through the documented
uv runcommand without locked or frozen dependency resolution. uvresolves and installs the attacker-controlled release.- Python imports the dependency, cau ...[truncated 905 chars]

Remediation Suggestions
- Pin every direct dependency to an exact, reviewed version rather than using a lower bound or no constraint.
- Generate and commit a
uv.lockfile covering direct and transitive dependencies. - Execute dependency installation and the Skill with locked or frozen resolution so unexpected versions cannot be selected.
- Require cryptographic package hashes where the packaging workflow supports them.
- Review dependency updates and their transitive changes before regenerating the lockfile.
- Use automated dependency vulnerability and provenance scanning in CI.
- Run the Skill under a least-privileged account or sandbox with access only to the required API credential and intended output directory.
- Avoid exposing unrelated secrets through the process environment or automatically discovered
.envfiles.
