  • [DATA_EXFILTRATION]: The skill provides commands to access sensitive browser data, specifically cookies, which could be used to bypass security controls or access session-restricted content.
  • Evidence: yt-dlp --cookies-from-browser chrome and yt-dlp --cookies-from-browser firefox in SKILL.md.
  • [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill is designed to process metadata and content from 1000+ untrusted external websites, which could contain malicious instructions intended to influence the agent's behavior during content extraction.
  • Ingestion points: External video URLs, titles, and metadata from platforms like YouTube, Twitter, and TikTok (referenced in SKILL.md).
  • Boundary markers: None identified; untrusted data is passed to command-line arguments without delimiters or warnings.
  • Capability inventory: Executes powerful shell commands via yt-dlp for downloading and post-processing (referenced in SKILL.md).
  • Sanitization: No evidence of input validation or output sanitization before processing external content.
  • [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill is centered around executing powerful command-line tools (yt-dlp, ffmpeg, aria2c) that interact directly with the local file system and network.
