Sherpa Onnx Tts Local

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a coherent local text-to-speech helper, but users should understand it downloads native runtime archives from GitHub during installation.

Install only if you are comfortable downloading native sherpa-onnx binaries from the listed GitHub release. Prefer running it as a normal user, choose a different voice model if needed, and avoid reusing an output filename you do not want overwritten.

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

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding

The manifest and installation instructions select the en_US Lessac voice model as the default, and the documentation does not present locale selection as an explicit user choice. Because SQP-3 applies to all file types, this natural-language and config-level preference for a specific locale can violate language/locale policy when no opt-in is provided.

Missing User Warnings

Confidence

Finding

This is a markdown file, so SQP-2 applies to omissions in the skill description. The usage example shows creation of ./tts.wav, which affects user data on disk, but the document does not explicitly warn that running the command will write or overwrite a local file.
