Vulnerability Details
File Location:
SKILL.md:165
Vulnerability Type: Unpinned third-party dependency
Risk Level: Mediumbash pip3 install requestsThe installed package is subsequently imported by
scripts/sales_video.py:12-15:python try: import requests except ImportError: raise SystemExit("缺少 requests,请运行 pip3 install requests")Technical Analysis
The installation instructions resolve the current version of
requestsand its transitive dependencies at installation time. The project does not provide a version constraint, lockfile, integrity hash, or isolated installation procedure.Consequently, the dependency graph can change without any corresponding change to the audited project. If the package source or a newly published dependency release is compromised, following the documented installation command could install and execute code that was not included in this audit. Unpinned dependencies also create reproducibility and compatibility risks.
Attack Path
- An attacker compromises a package release or a transitive dependency available through the package index used by
pip. - The user follows the documented
pip3 install requestscommand. pipresolves and installs the compromised or unexpectedly changed release.- Malicious installation hooks may execute during installation, or malicious package code may execute when
sales_video.pyimports and uses the dependency. - The injected code runs with the privileges of the user executing the installation or script.
Impact Assessment
Successful exploitation could permit arbitrary code execution with the current user's privileges. Depending on those privileges, the compromised dependency could access the user's files, environment variables, AI Hive API key, uploaded media, generated outputs, and network resources.

Remediation Suggestions
-
Add an audited dependency manifest with exact versions, including transitive dependencies.
-
Generate and verify cryptographic hashes for every package artifact.
-
Install with a command such as:
bash python3 -m pip install --require-hashes -r requirements.txt -
Use a dedicated virtual environment rather than modifying the global Python environment.
-
Regularly review and update pinned versions through a controlled dependency-update process.
-
Configure
pipto use an explicitly trusted package index and retain provenance information for installed artifacts.
