Security audit

YouTube Channel

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward YouTube channel management helper, but it uses OAuth credentials and can update live channel metadata.

Install only if you intend to use yutu with your YouTube account. Keep client_secret.json and youtube.token.json out of repositories and shared folders, and review the target channel ID and new values before running any update command.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding
The skill description includes many generic trigger phrases such as 'list channel' and 'update channel', which can match ordinary user requests and cause the skill to activate too broadly. Over-broad activation increases the chance that an agent invokes a capability that accesses authenticated YouTube account context when the user did not explicitly intend to use this specific skill.
