Security audit

Video Add Captions

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is a disclosed local video-captioning workflow with no evidence of hidden data access or exfiltration, though the package appears to be missing some referenced runtime assets.

Before installing, confirm you are comfortable with a local media workflow that runs ffmpeg, Node scripts, npx hyperframes, and opens local review HTML. Also verify the package includes the referenced font and preview image assets, because this artifact may not run as packaged.

MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding
The skill directs the agent to read and write numerous project files and execute shell commands (Python, Node, PowerShell, ffmpeg, npx), but it does not declare permissions for those capabilities. This creates a trust and enforcement gap: a host may present the skill as low-privilege while it actually requires broad filesystem and command execution access, increasing the chance of unintended execution of risky operations.
