Full Analysis
  • [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill downloads the yt-dlp binary from its official GitHub repository releases page (https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/latest/download/yt-dlp) if the tool is not already present on the system.
  • [REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: The script downloads a binary from a remote source, grants it execution permissions using chmod +x, and executes it in the shell to perform its core functions.
  • [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill uses shell commands to invoke the yt-dlp binary with several parameters to download audio, video, and extract metadata like titles and descriptions.
  • [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]:
  • Ingestion points: The skill retrieves and prints video titles, descriptions, and subtitle files (.vtt) from external YouTube URLs.
  • Boundary markers: No delimiters or isolation warnings are used when the agent reads the extracted metadata or subtitles.
  • Capability inventory: The skill has shell execution capabilities and file system access to the /tmp/ directory.
  • Sanitization: There is no filtering or validation of the text content fetched from YouTube before it is ingested into the agent context.
Recommendations
  • HIGH: Downloads and executes remote code from: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/latest/download/yt-dlp - DO NOT USE without thorough review
