- Unpinned Third-Party Dependencies Installed Without Integrity Verification## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `SKILL.md`, lines 103-107 **Vulnerability Type**: `T08: Insecure Dependencies` **Risk Level**: Medium ```powershell ## 🔧 依赖安装 首次使用前安装依赖： ```powershell pip install python-docx PyPDF2 pillow pytesseract pandas openpyxl ``` ``` ### Technical Analysis The installation instructions retrieve six third-party packages without pinned versions, cryptographic hashes, a lockfile, or an explicitly trusted package index. Package resolution therefore depends on the package versions and index configuration available at installation time. If a package distribution account or configured Python package index is compromised, or if an unexpectedly vulnerable release becomes the resolved version, attacker-controlled code could be installed. Python packages may execute build or installation logic during installation and later execute code when imported. The current implementation does not import these dependencies or implement the advertised document-processing operations. Consequently, the documented installation step unnecessarily expands the software supply-chain attack surface. ### Attack Path 1. A user follows the dependency installation instructions in `SKILL.md`. 2. `pip` resolves the latest compatible package versions from the user's configured index or mirror. 3. A compromised, substituted, or otherwise unsafe package release is selected because no exact versions or hashes are enforced. 4. Malicious package code executes during package installation, build processing, or a subsequent import. 5. The code gains the permissions of the account running `pip`. This path requires compromise or malicious control of a dependency release, package source, or configured index; the audited project does not itself contain such a payload. ### Impact Assessment Successful exploitation could execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the installation command. This may permit ...[truncated 440 chars]
- Remediation
- ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Remove the dependency installation instruction until the corresponding functionality is implemented and the packages are actually required. 2. Pin every required dependency to a reviewed, exact version. 3. Generate a lockfile or hashed requirements file and install with integrity enforcement, such as `pip install --require-hashes -r requirements.txt`. 4. Use a trusted, explicitly configured package index or an internally controlled artifact repository. 5. Review transitive dependencies and automate vulnerability scanning in CI. 6. Install dependencies in an isolated virtual environment under a non-privileged account. 7. Regularly update pinned versions through a controlled review and testing process rather than resolving mutable latest versions during installation.
