xeon-smartupscale_v2

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This video upscaling skill appears purpose-aligned, but its installer runs network-fetched code and installs an unverified ffmpeg binary, which deserves manual review before use.

Install only if you are comfortable with the installer fetching and executing external code during setup. Prefer using a system-provided pip and ffmpeg/ffprobe already installed on the machine, or ask the publisher for pinned versions with checksum or signature verification before installing.
