Jingle Forge

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is a coherent SenseAudio jingle generator, but its shell templates handle user-supplied brand text unsafely and send campaign details to an external service with limited upfront disclosure.

Review this skill before installing. Use it only with non-confidential brand/campaign details you are willing to send to SenseAudio, and do not run the included bash templates with raw user text unless they are rewritten to build JSON safely with jq or another serializer and bounded polling timeouts.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The manifest description lists several specific trigger phrases, but then expands scope to "any request to create a short branded musical piece." That catch-all is broad enough to overlap with many ordinary creative-audio requests, making it unclear when this skill should activate versus other music-generation skills.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
82% confidence
Finding

The trigger examples and much of the operational content are written only in Chinese, which implicitly constrains invocation and expected usage to a specific language without stating that this is intentional or optional. The file does not offer a language choice or document a justified locale restriction.

Content

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

The skill sends user-supplied brand names, industry details, tone keywords, and usage scenarios to an external API without an upfront disclosure at the point of collection. This creates a privacy and data-governance risk, especially for confidential campaign plans or unreleased brand assets.

This TTS endpoint is a real external transmission of user-derived brand data to a third-party provider. The context makes it somewhat less dangerous than arbitrary exfiltration because it is functionally related to the skill, but it still expands disclosure scope beyond what many users may expect.

Description-Behavior Mismatch

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The manifest and introductory description scope the skill to creating a 5–15 second branded musical piece. However, Step 5 adds a distinct text-to-speech capability to synthesize a spoken brand-name clip and the output section presents it as a third deliverable, which goes beyond just generating a jingle.

Context-Inappropriate Capability

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding

A brand-jingle generator would be expected to call music and lyric generation APIs, but generating a separate spoken brand-name file is an additional audio-production feature. The manifest does not describe voice synthesis, narration, or spoken overlays as part of the skill's purpose.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
76% confidence
Finding

The skill instructs fixed voice selection based on tone keywords and uses preset IDs in a workflow otherwise centered on Chinese-language content, but it does not tell the user they can choose another language or locale. This creates an implicit locale preference without opt-in or justification.
