VidIQ - Video Intelligence

• Outcome: Review
• Latest audit: May 29, 2026 at 9:23 PM UTC

  1.0.0

Overview

This video tool mostly does what it advertises, but it needs review because it unnecessarily evaluates video metadata as code while processing arbitrary media.

Review before installing. Use it only on media you are allowed to download or process, avoid sensitive/private videos on shared systems unless you clear /tmp/vidiq afterward, and prefer a fixed version that replaces eval-based frame-rate parsing with safe fraction parsing.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

• Confidence: 93% confidence
• Finding: The skill fetches remote media and caches it in /tmp/vidiq without prominently warning the user up front. This can create privacy, retention, and disk-usage risks because users may not realize remote content is being downloaded and stored locally, potentially including sensitive or copyrighted material.
