ZeeLin Music

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This music-generation skill is mostly coherent, but it asks users for a billing App-Key and sends it to a separate MelodyLab backend while the privacy policy does not clearly disclose that credential flow.

Review before installing. Use this only if you are comfortable pasting a ZeeLin App-Key into the agent and having that key sent to MelodyLab for billing-related operations. Prefer a dedicated, revocable, low-balance key if ZeeLin supports it, monitor charges, and avoid entering personal or sensitive content into song prompts.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Insecure Skill Coding PracticesFinds exploitable flaws such as hardcoded secrets or command injection
  • 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

Reusable ZeeLin App-Key Is Disclosed to an Intermediary Backend

" } ``` ``` From `SKILL.md:242-246`: ```markdown **POST** `https://melodylab.top/api/zeelin-confirm` ```json { "pre_order_id": "", "zeelin_app_key": "" } ``` ``` The same credential flow is also documented in `README.md:88-99`. ### Technical Analysis The Skill asks the user for a reusable billing credential issued by `skills.zeelin.cn`. Although direct submission of that credential to its issuer for validation may be expected, the Skill subsequently sends the same credential to the separate `melodylab.top` service. Music generation does not inherently require the intermediary backend to possess a reusable account credential. A least-privilege design would instead use a short-lived authorization artifact restricted to one order, one Skill, and a maximum charge amount. Giving MelodyLab the original App-Key creates a credential-boundary violation. The key may be exposed through: - A compromise of the MelodyLab backend. - Request or application logs containing request bodies. - Debugging, observability, tracing, or error-reporting systems. - An insider with access to backend traffic or stored logs. - Accidental forwarding to other services. - Replay by any party that obtains the credential.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
83% confidence
Finding

This file presents all user-facing policy and privacy information exclusively in Chinese. Under the language/locale policy criterion, forcing a single language without offering user choice or documenting a justified locale restriction can be a policy violation.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding

The skill instructs users to provide an App-Key and shows that key being transmitted to multiple remote services, including a third-party music generation endpoint, without a clear warning about credential sensitivity, storage, scope, or trust boundaries. In this context, the App-Key appears to authorize billing and account actions, so exposing it to the skill operator or downstream services could enable unauthorized charges, impersonation, or reuse beyond the user's intended session.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
92% confidence
Finding

The trigger phrases are broad enough to match ordinary requests about writing or generating songs, which can cause the skill to activate in contexts where the user did not explicitly consent to sending their prompts and App-Key to third-party services. Because the skill performs external API calls and requests a credential tied to billing, accidental activation raises privacy and unauthorized-charge risks beyond a normal content-only skill.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
78% confidence
Finding

The skill description and examples are entirely in Chinese and instruct the interaction flow in Chinese, but there is no statement that the skill is China-specific or that users may choose another language. This can violate a language/locale policy when a skill implicitly forces a specific language without opt-in or justification.
