Meitu Skills

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This appears to be a real Meitu media-generation skill pack, but it requests broad access to credentials, local memory/profile files, and persistent shared visual state.

Install only if you are comfortable giving this package access to Meitu API credentials and allowing media, prompts, and selected local profile or memory context to be processed by Meitu OpenAPI. Prefer environment-injected credentials, use a pinned reviewed CLI version, and review or disable local memory/profile use if shared visual workspace contents are sensitive.

Equivalent broad read/write declarations occur across many narrowly scoped atomic image, video, audio, and text skills.

Technical Analysis

The grid-splitting operation only requires access to:

  • The input image supplied by the user.
  • Meitu authentication material needed by the CLI.
  • The meitu executable.
  • A dedicated output directory.

It does not need general read/write access to ~/.openclaw/workspace/visual/ or read access to project-wide ./openclaw.yaml. The shared visual workspace may contain user profiles, references, preferences, rules, observations, memories, and outputs from unrelated sessions.

Requesting directory-wide read and write privileges violates least privilege. If the runtime enforces the frontmatter declarations as capability grants, any behavior executed under this skill receives access to data unrelated to grid splitting. The same pattern materially increases the blast radius of prompt injection, workflow errors, or compromise of the external CLI.

Credential-file access is legitimate for authenticated CLI calls. The excessive portion is the shared-memory and project-context access granted to a narrow transformation skill.

Attack Path

  1. A user invokes the grid-splitting skill with an attacker-influenced image URL or task description.

Remediation Suggestions

  1. Remove ~/.openclaw/workspace/visual/ and ./openclaw.yaml from atomic skills that do not explicitly use profile or project context.
  2. Restrict output writes to a skill-specific directory such as ./output/image-grid-split/.
  3. Grant access to the user-selected input file or URL only, rather than a shared directory.
  4. Separate authentication from skill filesystem permissions by allowing the trusted CLI or runtime credential broker to load credentials.
  5. Generate each skill's permission manifest from an explicit per-workflow data-flow definition.
  6. Add automated checks that reject unrelated workspace permissions for stateless media transformations.
  7. Apply the same least-privilege review to all atomic skills containing the equivalent metadata pattern.

  5. Default to no local context and let users explicitly select profile or memory sources.
  6. Separate trusted agent-control files from user-personalization data at the runtime permission layer.
  7. Prevent instructions found inside memory and project files from controlling file access, command selection, or context expansion.
  8. Apply data-loss-prevention checks to prompts before submission, including detection of credentials, private keys, access tokens, and unrelated identity data.

Vulnerable Workflow

markdown
**Zero-write default** — write nothing after generation; only write when user gives active feedback:

| User says | What to do |
|--------|--------|
| "好" / "喜欢这个风格" | Append observation to `./visual/memory/observations/observations.yaml` (auto, no user confirmation needed). If that observation's `projects` >= 2, mention non-blockingly at end of reply: "By the way, you've preferred X across N projects. Want to save it as a universal preference?" User confirms → write to `memory/global.md` or `memory/scenes/{scene}.md`, delete the observation; user ignores → do nothing |
| "不要 XX 风格" | Has `openclaw.yaml` → ask: "Only skip XX for this project, or never use XX for all future projects?" Project-only → append to `./DESIGN.md` Constraints; all future → append to `./visual/rules/quality.yaml` (requires user confirmation). No `openclaw.yaml` → applies only to current task, no write |
| "我是男的" (identity facts) | Write to `./visual/PROFILE.md` |
| Sends a new reference photo | Save as `./visual/assets/references/user.jpg` |

**Positive feedback recording path:**

1. Read `$VISUAL/memory/observations/observations.yaml` (create if it doesn't exist)
2. Scan for semantically similar keys → merge or create new
3. Write back to file
4. If `len(projects) >= 2` → propose promotion (non-blocking)

Technical Analysis

The workflow automatically persists positive feedback without asking for confirmation. The observation file is later read and can influence style selection, recommendations, and promotion into global or scene-specific preference memory.

Remediation Suggestions

  1. Require explicit confirmation before every write that survives the current conversation.
  2. Distinguish direct user messages from quoted text, tool output, retrieved files, and other untrusted content.
  3. Never infer consent to persist identity facts merely because they appear in conversation.
  4. Present the exact proposed memory entry, scope, and expiry before writing it.
  5. Record provenance, timestamp, source message, confidence, project scope, and expiration for every observation.
  6. Do not semantically merge observations automatically when their sources or meanings differ.
  7. Provide commands to list, edit, reject, and delete all stored observations and profile facts.
  8. Keep unconfirmed observations session-local and promote them to persistent storage only after approval.
  9. Ensure persistent memory is treated strictly as untrusted data and cannot modify security policy, permissions, or command authority.

Vulnerability Details

File Location: README.md:44
Vulnerability Type: Unpinned global dependency installation
Risk Level: Medium

Vulnerable Instruction

bash
npm install -g meitu-cli@latest

The same unbounded installation instruction appears in README.md:69, SECURITY.md:104,130, numerous scene skills, and supporting setup and troubleshooting documents.

The package manifest specifies a narrower compatibility range and baseline:

json
"compatibility": {
  "runtime": "openclaw",
  "meitu_cli": ">=2.0.6 <3.0.0"
},
"distribution_notes": [
  "Recommended runtime baseline is meitu-cli@2.1.19"
]

In contrast, meitu-tools/SKILL.md:264 provides a pinned command:

bash
npm install -g meitu-cli@2.1.19

Technical Analysis

Installing @latest allows the effective dependency to change after the skill package has been reviewed. It can select a future major version outside the manifest's declared <3.0.0 compatibility boundary.

A global npm installation may execute package lifecycle scripts and replace or create a globally accessible meitu binary. As a result, an incompatible, compromised, or malicious future release could execute with the privileges of the user running npm.

The package states that updates are manual rather than automatic, which reduces automatic exploitation. However, preflight and troubleshooting instructions repeatedly direct operators to the unsafe unbounded command. The use of --force in fallback instructions further increases the risk of replacing an existing binary during conflict resolution.

Attack Path

  1. The meitu CLI is missing, outdated, or reports an unsupported command.
  2. The skill directs the operator to run npm install -g meitu-cli@latest.

Remediation Suggestions

  1. Replace every meitu-cli@latest instruction with an exact reviewed version such as meitu-cli@2.1.19.
  2. Keep the pinned version synchronized with PACKAGE_MANIFEST.json.
  3. Enforce the declared upper compatibility bound and reject major version 3 or later until separately reviewed.
  4. Verify package provenance, publisher identity, signatures, and registry source before installation.
  5. Use lockfiles and integrity hashes where the deployment mechanism supports them.
  6. Prefer a project-local or isolated installation over a global installation.
  7. Remove or strongly restrict --force guidance because it may overwrite an unrelated existing binary.
  8. Make runtime repair instructions uniform across README, security documentation, scene skills, and troubleshooting references.
  9. Re-audit every new CLI version before updating the pinned baseline.

The root skill declares permission to read ~/.meitu/credentials.json, which gives the skill direct access to API secrets from the user's home directory. Even though the documented purpose is legitimate, any skill with credential-read capability increases the blast radius of prompt-injection, implementation bugs, or accidental leakage if the runtime does not strongly enforce non-disclosure.

Scene skills are documented as having both credential read access and read/write access to shared workspace state.

Documenting root-skill read access to a credential file highlights an actual sensitive permission, even if the file itself is not disclosed.

This permission scope combines reading credentials with read/write access to a persistent shared visual workspace.
