Alibabacloud Video Translation

Security checks across static analysis, malware telemetry, and agentic risk

Overview

The skill appears aligned with Alibaba Cloud video translation, but it needs review because it uses local Aliyun credentials, uploads video data, and changes Aliyun CLI plugin settings that are not declared in the registry metadata.

Install only if you intend to use Alibaba Cloud IMS/OSS. Before running it, confirm the active Aliyun profile/account, use a least-privilege RAM policy, review any auto-plugin-install change, and verify the OSS bucket and signed-link settings for sensitive videos.

Risk analysis

Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.

What this means

If the active Aliyun profile is broad or the wrong account, the agent could submit cloud jobs, incur costs, and read or write video objects in that account.

Why it was flagged

This hard-gate shows the skill expects to use the user's configured Aliyun credential profile, even though registry metadata declares no primary credential. Those credentials are then used for cloud translation and OSS operations.

Skill content
Credential status | `aliyun configure list` | Valid status | STOP, guide configuration
Recommendation

Declare the Aliyun credential requirement in metadata, require explicit profile/account confirmation, and recommend a least-privilege RAM user scoped to the intended buckets and region.

What this means

This can persistently change local CLI behavior and cause future Aliyun CLI plugin downloads without a separate install review.

Why it was flagged

The agent is instructed to automatically change Aliyun CLI configuration so plugins can be installed automatically, but the registry has no install spec or required binary declaration.

Skill content
Plugin installation | `aliyun configure set --auto-plugin-install true` | Set | Auto-set
Recommendation

Ask the user before enabling auto-plugin-install, document the persistent change, and declare Aliyun CLI/plugin requirements in the skill metadata or install spec.

What this means

A malformed generated command could be sent to Alibaba Cloud rather than being caught locally by the CLI plugin.

Why it was flagged

The command templates intentionally bypass CLI plugin parameter validation for some job submissions. This is documented and purpose-aligned, but it reduces a safety check before cloud API calls.

Skill content
Add `--force` to skip plugin parameter validation
Recommendation

Use `--force` only when necessary, keep the blocking user confirmations, and show the final command parameters before submitting jobs.

What this means

Private or sensitive video content may be stored and processed in Alibaba Cloud, and outputs may later be shared through OSS URLs.

Why it was flagged

The skill uploads local video files to Alibaba OSS for processing. This is central to the stated purpose and asks for an OSS path, but it moves potentially private media to a cloud provider.

Skill content
Local video ... AskUserQuestion: "Please provide OSS upload path" ... Upload file: aliyun oss cp <local_path> <oss_path>
Recommendation

Upload only intended files, verify bucket access controls, use short-lived signed URLs when sharing results, and avoid public buckets for sensitive media.
