Dream Talking Image

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward third-party talking-image API guide, with expected external media processing and no hidden execution or persistence found.

Before installing, understand that image and audio URLs you provide will be processed by Dreamface/NewportAI using your API key. Avoid submitting private, regulated, or non-consensual photos or voice recordings unless you accept that third-party handling.

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
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding

The skill instructs users to provide photo and audio URLs to a third-party API but does not warn that those media assets and related metadata will be transmitted externally. This can lead to unintentional disclosure of sensitive personal content, especially since images and voice recordings are highly privacy-sensitive.
