- Unpinned and Unused Third-Party Dependencies## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `scripts/influencer_pipeline.py`, lines 1-7 **Vulnerability Type**: Unpinned dependency resolution and unnecessary supply-chain exposure **Risk Level**: Medium ### Evidence ```python # /// script # requires-python = ">=3.12" # dependencies = [ # "pyjwt", # "requests", # ] # /// ``` The documented invocation in `SKILL.md`, line 27, uses `uv run`: ```bash uv run {baseDir}/scripts/influencer_pipeline.py \ --image "/path/to/reference.png" \ --prompt "A man sitting at a desk looking at the camera, subtle natural movement, calm, talking head" \ --text "This is the script that the AI avatar will speak." \ --voice-id "YOUR_ELEVENLABS_VOICE_ID" ``` ### Technical Analysis The inline dependency metadata declares `pyjwt` and `requests` without exact versions, integrity hashes, or a reviewed lockfile. Running the script through `uv run` can therefore resolve and install dependency releases available from the configured package index at execution time. Neither package is imported or used by the current script, so this supply-chain exposure serves no functional purpose. The effective dependency set can also change between executions without any modification to the audited repository. If a package release, transitive dependency, configured package index, or source distribution is compromised, dependency resolution or build processing may expose the host to attacker-controlled code. ### Attack Path 1. An attacker compromises a declared package, one of its transitive dependencies, or a package source trusted by the runtime environment. 2. The attacker publishes a malicious release that satisfies the unconstrained dependency declaration. 3. A user or Agent invokes the documented `uv run` command. 4. `uv` resolves the unpinned dependency set and may download or build the attacker-controlled release. 5. Malicious build or package behavior executes ...[truncated 654 chars]
- Remediation
- ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Remove `pyjwt` and `requests` from the inline metadata while they remain unused. 2. When API integration is implemented, pin each direct dependency to an exact, reviewed version. 3. Maintain a committed lockfile and use frozen or locked dependency resolution in automated execution. 4. Verify package integrity through trusted indexes and hashes where the package workflow supports them. 5. Review transitive dependencies and reject unexpected source distributions or package-index overrides. 6. Run the pipeline as a minimally privileged account and provide API credentials only for the duration of the operation. 7. Add automated dependency scanning and controlled update review to the release process.
