spark-media

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed media-generation connector that sends user prompts and optional images to the stated AI Skills API using a configured API key.

Install only if you intend to use the AI Skills Spark Media service. Configure a dedicated API key where possible, avoid sending private or sensitive prompts/images unless you consent to uploading them to the service, and review billing/idempotency behavior before generating videos or batches.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Skill Instruction HijackingAlters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
  • Agent Memory PoisoningWrites attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
  • Remote Payload Retrieval and ExecutionFetches external code whose behavior can change after review
  • Embedded Malicious CodeShips malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally
  • Unauthorized Access and Privilege EscalationObtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs
Vulnerability Patterns
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep

External Transmission

Medium
Category
Data Exfiltration
Confidence
60% confidence
Finding

Data is being sent to an external URL. This could be legitimate telemetry or data exfiltration. Manual review is recommended.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
87% confidence
Finding

This markdown file contains curl examples that send prompts and bearer tokens to remote API endpoints, but the surrounding text does not warn users that their data and credentials will be transmitted over the network. For markdown files, network-affecting behavior that may impact privacy or system integrity should be disclosed clearly.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

The entire skill file is written in Chinese and does not indicate that language selection is optional or that the skill is intended only for a Chinese-speaking or region-specific context. Under the policy criteria, forcing a specific language without user opt-in is a natural-language policy violation.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding

The file content forces a specific language presentation for all users, and there is no indication that Chinese is optional or required for a region-specific purpose. This matches the policy concern for language or locale constraints without user opt-in or justification.
