Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed YouTube summarizer with expected external-service and cookie options, but users should be aware that full mode can send transcript or audio-derived content to OpenAI.

Install only if you are comfortable with a pinned third-party youtube2md npm dependency and with summaries potentially using OpenAI or a ChatGPT Codex session in full mode. For sensitive videos, use extract/simple mode or set YOUTUBE2MD_CAPTIONS_ONLY=1, and treat YouTube cookies and API keys as credentials.

Finding
The skill is configured to auto-activate whenever a message contains only YouTube URL(s), without requiring an explicit user intent phrase. This can cause the agent to invoke the skill on ambiguous inputs and potentially send transcript or audio-derived content to external services, creating unintended data processing and privacy exposure.
