Hutian Opc Digital Avatar

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is mostly a digital-human configuration aid, but it includes built-in promotional traffic diversion and sensitive voice/government-persona workflows without enough user-control and consent guardrails.

Review and remove the built-in promotional phrases before using generated scripts or publishing videos. Use voice cloning only with clear permission from the speaker, avoid official/government imagery unless authorized, and treat API keys, reference audio, avatar images, and cloud uploads as sensitive data.

Vulnerability Patterns

Remediation Suggestions

  1. Remove the entire traffic-diversion section from SKILL.md, including promotional triggers, scripts, downstream targets, and the fallback contact address.
  2. Remove fixed calls to follow OPC or “Lao Hu” from all example endings and persona templates.
  3. Remove promotional phrases from the catchphrase arrays in scripts/create_digital_human.py.
  4. Introduce an explicit, disabled-by-default branding configuration, for example:
    json
    {
      "branding": {
        "enabled": false,
        "organization": null,
        "call_to_action": null
      }
    }
    
  5. Add branding only after the user explicitly requests it and supplies or approves the exact wording.
  6. Separate neutral persona characteristics from marketing content. Catchphrases should describe speaking style rather than direct audiences to external channels.
  7. Add an output validation step that detects external contacts, promotional calls to action, channel-following requests, and unrelated service recommendations.
  8. Require confirmation before any external brand, email address, platform account, or promotional recommendation is included in generated content.
  9. Update examples to use neutral placeholders such as [optional user-approved call to action], with clear documentation that the field is omitted by default.
  10. Remove unused dependency declarations from SKILL.md. Although no malicious dependency was confirmed, the script does not import the declared machine-learning packages, so installing them unnecessarily increases supply-chain exposure and exceeds the implementation's minimum requirements.

Findings (13)

Tp2

High
Category
MCP Tool Poisoning
Confidence
85% confidence
Finding

Mixing characters from multiple Unicode scripts in a single identifier is a common technique to create visually ambiguous tool names.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Missing User Warnings

High
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding

The skill promotes voice cloning and cloud-based generation but does not require explicit confirmation of speaker consent, ownership rights, or acknowledgment that audio and persona data may be transmitted to third-party services. This is dangerous because it can facilitate non-consensual impersonation, privacy violations, and unauthorized sharing of biometric-like voice data to external providers.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Undeclared Tool Scope

Medium
Category
MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
78% confidence
Finding

The skill references local scripts, config files, output directories, and multiple auxiliary documents, implying file read/write behavior, but it does not declare any explicit tool scope or permissions boundary. This creates an authorization ambiguity where a host agent may grant broader filesystem access than users expect, increasing the chance of unintended file access or modification.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The trigger conditions are broad enough to match many generic requests about videos, voices, customization, or virtual presenters, which can cause the skill to activate outside narrowly intended workflows. Over-broad activation increases the chance that sensitive actions such as voice-cloning guidance or platform/API setup are introduced without sufficiently specific user intent.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

This markdown file is natural-language guidance and all user-facing content is presented only in Chinese. Under the policy, forcing a specific language without user opt-in is a reportable violation unless the locale constraint is clearly documented and justified, which is not present here.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Context-Inappropriate Capability

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
86% confidence
Finding

The preset includes a 'government official' digital persona with official-office settings, national symbols, and authority cues that can enable impersonation or deceptive authority signaling. In a generic digital-human styling skill, this expands into sensitive political/government representation without clear guardrails, making misuse for misleading public-facing content more plausible.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding

This markdown file presents all headings, instructions, and parameter descriptions in Chinese, but does not indicate that the skill is region-specific or provide any user opt-in for language preference. That can violate a language/locale policy when users are not given a choice or warned that the content is Chinese-only.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

The workflow explicitly supports voice cloning from reference audio but omits any requirement to obtain the speaker’s informed consent or to assess legal/privacy constraints. In a digital-human content pipeline, this can directly enable impersonation, privacy abuse, and misuse of biometric voice data, making the omission materially risky rather than merely incomplete documentation.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding

The workflow directs users to call third-party cloud APIs and upload avatar images, voice files, and background materials, but it does not disclose that potentially sensitive media and personal data leave the local environment. In this context, the omission can cause unintentional sharing of personal likeness, biometric voice data, or confidential business materials with external vendors without informed approval.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding

SQP-3 applies to all file types and covers language or locale policy violations in natural-language content. This document presents all instructions and examples only in Chinese and does not indicate that other languages are supported or that Chinese is an opt-in regional default.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
87% confidence
Finding

The skill documentation uses Chinese throughout its title, description, and usage instructions, but does not indicate that the skill is intended only for Chinese-speaking users or offer an alternative language. Under the policy, forcing a specific language without user opt-in can be a natural-language policy concern.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Missing User Warnings

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding

The document instructs users to enter and validate cloud-service API keys but provides no warning that these credentials are sensitive secrets. This increases the likelihood of keys being stored in plaintext configs, shared in screenshots/docs, or committed to repositories, which can lead to account abuse and unauthorized consumption of paid cloud resources.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
82% confidence
Finding

This markdown file presents all instructions, templates, and usage guidance exclusively in Chinese, with no note that the content is China-specific or that users may choose another language. Under the language/locale policy rule, forcing a single language without opt-in can be a natural-language policy concern.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.
