SKILL.mdclaims that the Skill does not upload user data:text Only processes public sharing links actively entered by users and does not collect or upload any user privacy data.Technical Analysis
Every submitted Douyin sharing URL is transmitted as a query parameter to the undocumented third-party host
lvhomeproxy2.dpdns.org. The service is neither an official Douyin endpoint nor identified in the Skill documentation.Although the submitted sharing URL is public, this request discloses the URL together with network metadata such as the user's source IP address, request time, and HTTP headers to the service operator. This behavior conflicts with the documented claim that user data is not uploaded.
The third-party service is also trusted to provide the final video download URLs. Consequently, ...[truncated 1326 chars]

Remediation Suggestions
- Replace the undocumented service with an official API or a directly implemented, documented platform-resolution flow.
- If the third-party service remains necessary, explicitly disclose:
- The service hostname and operator.
- The sharing URL and network metadata transmitted to it.
- Its retention, privacy, and security properties.
- Obtain explicit user consent before transmitting submitted URLs to the service.
- Pin the service to a reviewed endpoint and establish an update and incident-response process for that dependency.
- Treat all returned fields as untrusted input.
- Validate returned URLs against a strict allowlist of approved HTTPS Douyin or verified media-CDN hostnames before making any download request.
- Update
SKILL.mdso its data-handling claims accurately reflect the external transfer.
