CAUTION· static only

Publisher claims: "Extract a clean plain-text transcript from existing YouTube captions - native Node.js, zero npm dependencies. Use when the user asks to summarize, quote, or extract captions/transcript text from a YouTube URL. Wraps the `yt-dlp` binary on PATH; writes subtitles to a temp dir, parses .vtt captions, strips timestamps/HTML tags, and prints clean text or JSON. No API keys required." Observed in sandbox: static analysis only — behavior not yet observed.

Coverage

Static only; nothing was run yet.

The label rests on the code, the instruction files and the publisher. The honeypot run replaces this verdict when it completes.

Is [email protected] safe to install?

KillerSkills analysed it statically (a sandbox run is pending) on 2026-11-07 and scored it 51/100 (Caution). It is not known to be malicious, but it has behaviour or code a security policy should decide on before install. Notable findings: Stripe-like API key pattern detected; Access to sensitive file paths; URL with embedded credentials. Summary: static analysis only — behavior not yet observed.
