Vulnerability Type: Unpinned third-party dependency and supply-chain exposure
Risk Level: MediumVulnerable Code
SKILL.md:109:bash pip3 install requestsscripts/nano_detail_panel.py:12-14:python try: import requests except ImportError: raise SystemExit("缺少 requests,请运行 pip3 install requests")Technical Analysis
The documented installation command installs the latest version of the
requestspackage and its transitive dependencies without enforcing exact versions or package integrity hashes. Consequently, the dependency contents resolved during installation can change after the Skill has been audited.Although
requestsis a legitimate package, an unpinned installation remains exposed to package-index compromise, malicious or compromised dependency releases, and unexpected security or compatibility regressions in future versions. No lock file, hash-verified requirements file, or equivalent reproducible dependency specification is included in the project.Attack Path
- An attacker compromises a dependency release, its publishing credentials, a configured Python package index, or another part of the dependency distribution path.
- A user follows the documented
pip3 install requestsinstruction. pipresolves and downloads the currently available package and transitive dependencies without checking project-supplied hashes.- Malicious installation behavior can execute with the privileges of the user running
pip. - Malicious runtime behavior may subsequently execute when
nano_detail_panel.pyimports or uses the installed package.
Impact Assessment
Successful exploitation could execute attacker-controlled code under the invoking user's account. Depending on that account's permissions, the attacker could access user-readable files, environment variables, API credentials, and network resource ...[truncated 340 chars]

Remediation Suggestions
- Add a dependency file containing exact, reviewed versions for
requestsand all resolved transitive dependencies. - Include cryptographic hashes for every permitted distribution and require hash verification during installation.
- Replace the current instruction with a reproducible installation command, for example:
bash python3 -m pip install --require-hashes -r requirements.txt- Generate and review the lock file through a controlled dependency-update process rather than accepting automatic upgrades.
- Use a trusted package index over HTTPS and avoid undocumented or user-controlled extra indexes.
- Run dependency vulnerability and provenance checks in CI whenever the lock file changes.
- Install dependencies in an isolated virtual environment using a non-privileged account.
- Add a dependency file containing exact, reviewed versions for
