Security audit

Youtube Kol Scraper

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill transparently automates YouTube creator/contact scraping, which has privacy and compliance risks but no hidden exfiltration, destructive behavior, or deceptive instructions in the artifact.

Install only if you have a legitimate reason to collect creator contact data. Use it on publicly available information, respect YouTube and linked-site terms, avoid spam or profiling, and consider running it in a separate browser profile because browser-act operates in a browser context.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
87% confidence
Finding
The skill is explicitly designed to collect creators' contact emails and scrape linked external sites, which involves privacy-sensitive personal data collection. While the data appears intended to be publicly exposed, the absence of any user-facing warning, consent guardrail, purpose limitation, or rate/terms-of-service guidance increases the risk of misuse for spam, profiling, or non-compliant data harvesting.
