Vulnerability Details
File Location:
scripts/generate_image.py:2-7
Vulnerability Type: Unpinned third-party dependencies
Risk Level: MediumVulnerable Code:
python # /// script # requires-python = ">=3.10" # dependencies = [ # "google-genai>=1.0.0", # "pillow>=10.0.0", # ] # ///Technical Analysis
The script declares open-ended minimum versions for
google-genaiandpillow. The documented execution method usesuv run, which may resolve and install any future package release satisfying these constraints. The project does not include an audited lockfile, exact version constraints, or package integrity hashes.Consequently, the dependency code executed at runtime may differ from the code originally reviewed. Imports can execute package initialization code, while source distributions may also execute build-backend code during installation. This creates exposure to compromised upstream releases, maintainer-account compromise, and future dependency vulnerabilities.
Attack Path
- An attacker compromises an upstream dependency, its publishing account, or a future release satisfying the declared minimum version.
- The attacker publishes a malicious or compromised package version.
- A user executes the documented
uv runcommand in an environment without a previously locked dependency resolution. uvresolves and installs the compromised version because it satisfies the open-ended constraint.- Malicious code executes during package build, installation, or import with the privileges of the user running the Skill.
Impact Assessment
Successful exploitation could provide code execution under the Agent user's account. Depending on that account's permissions, malicious dependency code could read accessible files and environment variables—including
GEMINI_API_KEY—modify user-owned data, or make unauthorized network requests. This issue does not directly provid ...[truncated 71 chars]- Remediation

Remediation Suggestions
- Pin dependencies to exact, reviewed versions instead of open-ended minimum versions.
- Generate and commit a
uv.lockfile containing the complete resolved dependency graph. - Run the script in locked or frozen mode so execution fails rather than silently changing dependency versions.
- Use integrity verification or trusted package mirrors in deployment workflows.
- Enable automated dependency vulnerability monitoring and review upgrades before updating the lockfile.
- Execute the Skill under a least-privileged account or sandbox with restricted filesystem and network access.
