Trust Assessment
tldw received a trust score of 58/100, placing it in the Caution category. This skill has some security considerations that users should review before deployment.
SkillShield's automated analysis identified 4 findings: 0 critical, 2 high, 2 medium, and 0 low severity. Key findings include Missing required field: name, Suspicious import: requests, Unpinned Python Dependencies.
The analysis covered 4 layers: Manifest Analysis, Static Code Analysis, Dependency Graph, LLM Behavioral Safety. All layers scored 70 or above, reflecting consistent security practices.
Last analyzed on February 13, 2026 (commit 13146e6a). SkillShield performs automated 4-layer security analysis on AI skills and MCP servers.
Layer Breakdown
Behavioral Risk Signals
Security Findings4
| Severity | Finding | Layer | Location | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HIGH | Unpinned Python Dependencies The skill's setup instructions in `SKILL.md` direct the agent to install Python dependencies (`yt-dlp`, `webvtt-py`) using `pip install` without specifying exact versions. This allows `pip` to install the latest available versions, which could introduce malicious code if a dependency is compromised (e.g., typosquatting, hijacked package, or a malicious update). Pin all Python dependencies to specific, known-good versions (e.g., `yt-dlp==2023.11.16`, `webvtt-py==0.11.0`). Regularly review and update these versions to benefit from security patches while maintaining control. | LLM | SKILL.md:108 | |
| HIGH | Disabling SSL Certificate Verification The `yt-dlp` configuration in `scripts/extract_transcript.py` explicitly sets `nocheckcertificate: True`. This disables SSL/TLS certificate verification, making all connections vulnerable to Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attacks. An attacker could intercept communication, potentially exfiltrating sensitive data (such as cookies if they were used for other purposes) or injecting malicious content. Remove or set `nocheckcertificate: False`. Address underlying SSL issues (e.g., by configuring trusted Certificate Authorities) rather than disabling verification, which severely compromises security. | LLM | scripts/extract_transcript.py:93 | |
| MEDIUM | Missing required field: name The 'name' field is required for claude_code skills but is missing from frontmatter. Add a 'name' field to the SKILL.md frontmatter. | Static | skills/vovavvk/tldw/SKILL.md:1 | |
| MEDIUM | Suspicious import: requests Import of 'requests' detected. This module provides network or low-level system access. Verify this import is necessary. Network and system modules in skill code may indicate data exfiltration. | Static | skills/vovavvk/tldw/scripts/extract_transcript.py:33 |
