Security Findings3

Severity	Finding	Layer	Location
HIGH	Unpinned Dependency Auto-Installation The skill description explicitly states that the 'yt-dlp Python module' is 'auto-installed via pip'. Automatic installation of dependencies without specifying a pinned version (e.g., `yt-dlp==2023.10.13`) introduces a significant supply chain risk. If a malicious version of `yt-dlp` or one of its sub-dependencies were published, the skill would automatically install and execute it, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution or data exfiltration. Pin all automatically installed dependencies to specific, known-good versions. For example, instead of `pip install yt-dlp`, use `pip install yt-dlp==YYYY.MM.DD`. Ideally, dependencies should be listed in a `requirements.txt` file and installed as part of a secure setup process, rather than dynamically at runtime by the skill itself.	LLM	SKILL.md:140
MEDIUM	Missing required field: name The 'name' field is required for openclaw skills but is missing from frontmatter. Add a 'name' field to the SKILL.md frontmatter.	Static	skills/sandeepyadav1478/youtube-downloader-clipper/SKILL.md:1
MEDIUM	Sensitive environment variable access: $HOME Access to sensitive environment variable '$HOME' detected in shell context. Verify this environment variable access is necessary and the value is not exfiltrated.	Static	skills/sandeepyadav1478/youtube-downloader-clipper/install.sh:11
