Hailuo Video Generator

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward MiniMax Hailuo video-generation helper that sends prompts and reference image URLs to MiniMax as part of its stated purpose.

Install only if you are comfortable sending your video prompt, reference image URLs, task metadata, and retrieval requests to MiniMax. Avoid sensitive personal, proprietary, or regulated content unless that external processing is intended, and keep the MiniMax API key out of shared files and logs.

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
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The skill clearly sends user prompts, image URLs, task IDs, and downloaded outputs to a third-party service, but the documentation does not prominently warn users that their content leaves the local platform and is processed by MiniMax. This creates a privacy and consent issue, especially if users provide sensitive prompts or private image references assuming local-only handling.

This occurrence shows the actual API call target in the executable example that submits generation data off-platform. Because it uses externally hosted image URLs and prompt text, it can expose private content and associated metadata to MiniMax.

Confidence

Finding

This is the endpoint reference embedded in the executable generation example, which operationalizes transmission of user content to MiniMax. In context, the skill is specifically designed for off-platform generation, so the danger is not malicious exfiltration but insufficient informed consent and privacy framing.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Confidence
89% confidence
Finding

The manifest description is written entirely in Chinese, which can impose a specific language on users without any indication of opt-in or locale justification. The policy allows language constraints only when users are given a choice or the regional requirement is clearly documented.
