Full Analysis
- [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS] (MEDIUM): The skill instructs the agent to install external software using
pip install yt-dlpandbrew install ffmpeg. These commands download and execute unversioned packages from public registries at runtime, which is an unverifiable dependency risk.\n- [CREDENTIALS_UNSAFE] (MEDIUM): The workflow recommends using the--cookies-from-browserflag. This command accesses sensitive local files (browser cookies and profiles) to authenticate with video platforms. While necessary for the skill's function, it exposes private user authentication data to the tool's process.\n- [COMMAND_EXECUTION] (MEDIUM): The skill constructs shell commands by interpolating user-provided inputs such asVIDEO_URLandFORMAT_ID. Without explicit sanitization instructions for the agent, this creates a surface for shell command injection (e.g., via subshells like$(command)inside the URL string).\n- [PROMPT_INJECTION] (LOW): The skill is vulnerable to indirect prompt injection (Category 8) as it processes data from external URLs. 1. Ingestion points:VIDEO_URLandPLAYLIST_URLfrom user input or external pages. 2. Boundary markers: Absent. 3. Capability inventory: Shell execution (yt-dlp), network access, and file system writes. 4. Sanitization: None specified in the skill instructions.
