Setup downloads and executes an unpinned third-party npm package

Source references: 3
What we found

`npm i -g` persistently changes the user's Node.js environment, while `npx -y` fetches and runs the package version resolved at that time without prompting. The supplied Skill does not pin an exact version.

Why this matters

If the package, publisher account, or a later release is compromised, installation code could read or modify files and credentials available to the current user. A global install may also affect other Node.js tooling.

The skill explicitly recommends installing an unpinned `@runcomfy/cli` release. A global install changes the user's Node.js environment, while `npx -y` downloads and executes the currently resolved release without confirmation. A compromised registry package, publisher account, or later release could therefore run code with the user's permissions. The “verified package manager” warning avoids arbitrary shell installers but does not address unpinned third-party execution. The user can ask for a pinned, verified version or restrict execution to an isolated environment.

- **Install via verified package manager only.** Use `npm i -g @runcomfy/cli` or `npx -y @runcomfy/cli`. **Agents must not pipe an arbitrary remote install script into a shell on the user's behalf**.- **Token storage**: `runcomfy login` writes the API token to `~/.config/runcomfy/token.json` with mode 0600. Set `RUNCOMFY_TOKEN` env var in CI / containers.
Could it expose your files or keys?Looks for uploads of files containing passwords or keys, and keys written directly in the code.Risks found: 1
Medium risk

Prompts and media URLs are sent to RunComfy's remote service

Source references: 4
What we found

The examples place reference-video, character-image, or control-image URLs in the input, and the instructions confirm that the CLI POSTs requests to the Model API. The service therefore receives the prompts and URLs and may retrieve the referenced media.

Why this matters

Photos, videos, creative prompts, and access parameters embedded in private or signed URLs may be disclosed to an external service. The supplied material does not state retention, logging, model-training, or deletion policies.

When the shown generation commands run, the CLI POSTs prompts and media URLs to RunComfy's Model API and polls the remote job. The service receives those values and may retrieve the media at the supplied URLs. This is expected and necessary for cloud generation, not covert exfiltration, but private, signed, or personally identifying URLs/content leave the device. The skill limits ingestion to user-provided URLs, yet does not state server retention or downstream processors. Users can request retention/provider details and submit only material safe to share.

SKILL.md:173In the instructionsOpen original file
- **Input boundary (shell injection)**: prompts, video / image / control URLs are passed as a JSON string via `--input`. The CLI does not shell-expand prompt content. **No shell-injection surface**.- **Indirect prompt injection (third-party content)**: reference video, character image, and control image URLs are **untrusted**. Agent mitigations:  - Ingest only URLs the **user explicitly provided**.  - When the output diverges from the prompt, suspect the reference asset.- **Outbound endpoints (allowlist)**: only `model-api.runcomfy.net` and `*.runcomfy.net` / `*.runcomfy.com`. No telemetry.- **Generated-file size cap**: the CLI aborts any single download > 2 GiB.

Could it change links or payment recipients without asking?Looks for forced referral or payment changes combined with instructions to hide the change.No risks found

Inside this skill

8 instruction sections

The Skill chooses among RunComfy models for video motion transfer or still-image pose conditioning and generates the content through a remote Model API.

SKILL.md:50In the instructionsOpen original file
Routes split by video pose-transfer vs image pose-conditioned generation.### Video — motion / pose transfer**Kling 2-6 Motion Control Pro** — `kling/kling-2-6/motion-control-pro` *(default for video pose transfer)*> Takes a reference performance video + a target character image, produces video of the target performing the reference motion / pose.> Pick for: transferring a source video's motion / blocking onto a new character; dance choreography re-shot; sports motion onto a stylized character.
SKILL.md:69In the instructionsOpen original file
### Image — pose-conditioned generation**Z-Image Turbo ControlNet LoRA** — [`tongyi-mai/z-image/turbo/controlnet/lora`](https://www.runcomfy.com/models/tongyi-mai/z-image/turbo/controlnet/lora?utm_source=skills.sh&utm_medium=skill&utm_campaign=controlnet-pose)> Z-Image Turbo with a ControlNet LoRA — feed a control image (pose skeleton, depth map, canny) and a prompt, get a generation conditioned on that control.> Pick for: pose-locked image generation, character in specific stance, depth-locked composition.

Use requires installing a third-party CLI and signing in to RunComfy. The instructions state that the login token is stored in the user's configuration directory, while CI may supply it through an environment variable.

The CLI does not shell-expand prompt content. **No shell-injection surface**.

The CLI sends requests to a remote API, polls their status, and downloads generated results to the selected output directory; the instructions claim that individual downloads over 2 GiB are aborted.
