notebooklm-cli

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This NotebookLM CLI skill appears purpose-aligned, but its login flow reads browser session cookies without enough detail about consent, storage, or deletion.

Install only if you are comfortable letting this tool access authenticated Chrome session cookies for NotebookLM. Before using `nlm login`, verify where cookies are stored, how to delete them, and whether the tool can be run in an isolated browser profile or test account.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding
The skill explicitly states that `nlm login` launches Chrome and extracts session cookies, but it does not present a clear security warning, informed-consent notice, or details on how those cookies are stored and protected. Extracting browser session cookies is highly sensitive because those tokens can grant authenticated access without requiring the user’s password or MFA again.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
The documentation explicitly states that `nlm login` authenticates by launching Chrome and extracting session cookies, but it does not present this as a sensitive, high-risk action or warn users about the security implications of browser cookie access. Session cookies can grant account access if mishandled, so normalizing this behavior without a clear warning increases the risk of credential/session theft or unsafe operator use.
