Risk Level: MEDIUM
Full Analysis
MEDIUM W011: Third-party content exposure detected (indirect prompt injection risk).
- Third-party content exposure detected (high risk: 0.75). The required runtime workflow uses
yt-dlpto fetch YouTube subtitle/VTT content from a user-suppliedVIDEO_URL, and that fetched caption text (authored by third parties/YouTube uploaders) is then converted to plain text and fed into the agent for summarization—an outsider-authored free-text injection surface.
MEDIUM W013: Attempt to modify system services in skill instructions.
- Attempt to modify system services in skill instructions detected (high risk: 0.70). The prompt explicitly instructs installing software with privileged commands (e.g., "sudo apt install yt-dlp", pip/brew installs and downloading audio), which modify system state and require elevated privileges, so it poses a risk to the host machine.
