When a user opens a DOCX or PDF file and the corresponding parser is unavailable, the skill invokes pip automatically. The package names are not constrained to reviewed versions, and no package hashes or trusted repository URL ...[truncated 2066 chars]

Remediation Suggestions
- Remove automatic package installation from document-reading functions. If a parser is unavailable, fail safely and provide explicit setup instructions.
- Install dependencies during a controlled build or deployment phase rather than while processing user-selected files.
- Pin each dependency and relevant transitive dependencies to reviewed versions.
- Require hashes, for example through a locked requirements file installed with
pip install --require-hashes. - Configure pip to use an explicitly trusted package repository and prevent unreviewed alternate indexes.
- Install dependencies inside a dedicated virtual environment or container instead of modifying the caller's global Python environment.
- Run the skill under a least-privileged account with restricted filesystem and network access.
- Add automated dependency vulnerability scanning and a controlled process for reviewing and updating pinned versions.
