Dream Avatar

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a coherent DreamAvatar API helper that uploads user-provided media to an external service to generate talking-avatar videos.

Install only if you are comfortable giving the skill a DreamAPI key and sending selected image/audio files to DreamAvatar/NewportAI and temporary OSS storage. Avoid using private, biometric, confidential, or third-party media unless you have permission and accept the service's retention and access model.

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

Session Persistence

Medium

Category: Rogue Agent
Confidence: 60% confidence
Finding: Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 96% confidence
Finding: The skill explicitly supports local image and audio files, and its own implementation notes state those files are automatically uploaded to third-party OSS storage and then sent to the DreamAvatar service. Failing to clearly warn users about this external/public upload creates a privacy and data-handling vulnerability because users may provide sensitive media under the false assumption it stays local.
