Vulnerability Details
File Location:
SKILL.md:475-479
Vulnerability Type: Runtime retrieval and execution of externally hosted JavaScript
Risk Level: MediumComplete Code Snippet:
js const vConsole = 'https://g.alicdn.com/code/lib/vConsole/3.11.2/vconsole.min.js'; const js = document.createElement('script'); js.src = vConsole; document.body.append(js); js.onload = function() { window.vConsole = new window.VConsole(); };Technical Analysis
The Skill recommends creating a
scriptelement and loading vConsole directly from an external CDN. The version is pinned and the CDN belongs to the ecosystem associated with the declared platform, so this is not evidence of an intentionally malicious payload. However, the script is executed without an integrity hash, authenticity verification, local vendoring, or an enforced origin policy.Remote JavaScript loaded this way executes with the privileges of the Yida page. Its effective behavior can change after the Skill has been reviewed if the hosted asset, CDN publishing account, DNS path, or delivery infrastructure is compromised. Loading a debugging console is also not required for the Skill's ordinary form-development functionality and should therefore be an explicitly optional, development-only capability.
Attack Path
- A developer copies the documented snippet into a Yida action panel.
- A user opens the resulting page, causing the browser to request the script from the external CDN.
- An attacker who has compromised the hosted asset or its delivery path substitutes modified JavaScript.
- The browser executes that modified script in the active page context.
- The script can inspect page-accessible form values, application state, user information, local storage, and authenticated API capabilities.
- It can alter page behavior or transmit accessible information to an attacker-controlled endpoint.

Remediation Suggestions
- Prefer a platform-provided debugging facility or a locally vendored and reviewed copy of vConsole.
- If remote loading is unavoidable, verify the exact artifact against a pinned cryptographic checksum before execution.
- Use Subresource Integrity with an appropriate
crossoriginpolicy where supported. - Enforce a restrictive Content Security Policy and an explicit allowlist of approved script origins.
- Mark the snippet as development-only and require its removal before production deployment.
- Do not load the debugger on pages containing sensitive production data.
- Document that remote scripts inherit the page's privileges and must never be loaded from a user-controlled URL.
