Caveat verdict

varg-ai

88
🟢 Trusted
No high-risk patterns surfaced by the deep scan — automated capability review, not behavioral proof.

Accesses credentials AND makes external network calls

AI video/image/speech/music generation skill using the varg.ai API; explicitly instructs the agent NOT to ask users to paste API keys directly and uses curl/bun for rendering — transparent API integration.

Automated static analysis — not a human review. Caveat flags capabilities, not confirmed intent, and can produce false positives. Disagree with this verdict? Use Dispute below.

What it does

These are capability combinations: each listed behavior occurs in the skill, but Caveat detects co-occurrence — it does not verify that one flows into another. Read the code to confirm a live chain.

Capability combination high

Accesses credentials AND makes external network calls — potential credential theft

LLM02 · ASI03

Capability combination high

Accesses credentials AND writes files — may persist stolen credentials locally

LLM02 · LLM06 · ASI03

Permission integrity

Makes network requests but does not declare curl/wget in required binaries

network_out

Performs file operations but does not declare file-accessing binaries

file_read+write

Pipe-to-shell pattern (curl | sh) — supply chain attack vector

Pattern match high

Pipe to bash — executes piped content as shell commands

Coarse signal — prose, single-step high

Instruction-prose smuggling shape detected: collects a sensitive target ("API keys") and emits it outward ("paste"). Phrased as prose with no trigger tokens — a semantic prompt-injection / data-exfil pattern the syntactic scanners can't see. Final tier capped at Caution; review the instructions before installing.

Why the tier is capped

Execution sink present in raw bytes (Hard Floor: class A). Final tier capped at Caution — cannot be lifted by any downgrade, example-payload opt-in, or allowlist.

Permissions & capabilities

Requires 1 environment variable. (1 sensitive: VARG_API_KEY).
