video-download-assist

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a straightforward video-downloader skill that fetches user-provided video links and saves them locally, with normal caution around automatic downloads and disk usage.

Install this only if you want supported video links to trigger local downloads. Watch disk usage for large videos or playlists, install yt-dlp from a source you trust, and only use browser-cookie options when you intentionally want authenticated downloads from your own account.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding
The trigger list is very broad and includes generic phrases like '下载这个' and raw domain matches, which can cause the skill to activate on casual mentions or pasted links without a clear, specific download intent. In this skill, unintended activation is more dangerous because activation leads to network access and local file writes, potentially downloading untrusted remote content automatically.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding
The skill advertises automatic downloading and saving to a local directory but does not present an up-front warning in the description that using the skill will perform network fetches and write files locally. This weakens informed consent and increases the chance users trigger behavior they did not expect, especially when combined with broad auto-activation triggers.
