Vulnerability Type: Insecure external dependency loading
Risk Level: Mediumpython import asyncio from roco_actions import RocoActions _game = RocoActions()Additional security-sensitive operations delegated to this dependency appear at lines 22-30:
python def roco_start() -> str: return _run(_game.start()) def roco_after_login() -> str: return _run(_game.after_login())Technical Analysis
The module imports
RocoActionsfromroco_actions, but that dependency is not included in the audited project and no pinned, verified package source is provided. Consequently, the implementation responsible for browser startup, game automation, and post-login state handling cannot be inspected.The dependency is also instantiated globally through
_game = RocoActions(). Python executes imported module-level code and the constructor whenroco.pyis imported, rather than waiting for an explicit user operation. If module resolution can be influenced through the working directory,PYTHONPATH, an unsafe installation source, or dependency confusion, a maliciousroco_actionsmodule could execute arbitrary Python code with the privileges of the process loading the skill.Attack Path
- An attacker places or publishes a malicious module resolvable as
roco_actions. - The runtime searches an attacker-influenced path or installs the unverified package.
- The Agent loads
roco.py. - Python executes the malicious module during the import statement.
- The global
RocoActions()constructor executes before any exported skill function is explicitly called. - Malicious code runs with the filesystem, network, browser-session, and process privileges available to the Agent.
Impact Assessment
Exploitation could permit arbitrary code execution within the Agent process's privilege boundary. Depending on runtime p ...[truncated 443 chars]

Remediation Suggestions
- Include the complete
roco_actionsimplementation in the project so its behavior can be reviewed. - If it must remain external, identify an authoritative package source, pin an exact version, and verify package hashes or signatures during installation.
- Use a lockfile and a private or explicitly configured package index to reduce dependency-confusion risk.
- Avoid import-time object construction. Instantiate
RocoActionslazily inside an explicit initialization function after configuration and dependency validation. - Restrict the runtime's filesystem, network, browser-profile, and environment-variable access according to least privilege.
- Document all browser, authentication-state, network, and persistent-storage behavior performed by the dependency.
- Include the complete
