Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed wrapper around the dLazy video-generation CLI, with some scope mismatch but no hidden or destructive behavior found.

Before installing, understand that this uses an external dLazy npm CLI and hosted service: prompts are sent to dLazy, attached files are uploaded, and an API key may be saved locally. Prefer npx if you do not want a persistent global install, and avoid attaching sensitive documents unless you are comfortable with dLazy handling them.

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
Vulnerability Patterns
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • MCP Tool PoisoningHidden Instructions, Unicode Deception, Parameter Description Injection
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Description-Behavior Mismatch

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

The manifest description at L004 scopes the skill to turning an article or text into a narrated explainer video. However, the body documentation expands the use case to PPT, Word, Excel, PDF, and general document-to-video workflows, and later states the skill is fixed to the file-to-video template, which is materially broader than article/text input.

Description-Behavior Mismatch

Confidence
91% confidence
Finding

The manifest presents this as an article-to-video skill, but the operational instructions explicitly bind it to dlazy chat --skill file-to-video, a generic file conversion template. That indicates actual behavior is centered on arbitrary file-based video generation rather than the narrower article/text-only intent stated in the manifest.

Whitespace Padding

Medium
Category
Prompt Injection
Confidence
70% confidence
Finding

Large whitespace padding was detected (a block of blank lines or a long run of spaces). This can push injected instructions below or to the right of the visible area so a human reviewer never sees them while the agent still reads them. Manual review of the hidden content is recommended.

Confidence

Finding

The manifest description on L004 scopes the skill to written articles, text, news, and essays. However, the body documentation on L012 and the command template on L079/L092 describe a generic file-to-video flow supporting PPT, Word, Excel, PDF, and other documents, which is materially broader than the manifest's stated purpose.

Intent-Code Divergence

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding

The skill is named and described as article-to-video, but the documentation explicitly says it is pinned to the file-to-video template and instructs agents to run dlazy chat --skill file-to-video. This is an active contradiction between the skill's stated intent and its documented operational target, not merely missing detail.
