Supported Versions

Reporting a Vulnerability

Please do not open a public GitHub issue for security-sensitive reports.

If you discover a vulnerability, report it privately to the maintainer first and include:

  • A short description of the issue
  • Steps to reproduce it
  • The affected operating system and version
  • Any proof-of-concept details that help confirm impact

Please allow reasonable time for investigation and remediation before public disclosure.

Project Security Notes

This application is designed to run locally on the user's machine.

  • Video URLs are processed locally by the app
  • Clip generation is performed locally with yt-dlp and ffmpeg
  • The project should not require users to provide YouTube credentials
  • Maintainers should never commit cookies, auth tokens, API keys, or personal secrets

If future changes introduce cloud processing, authentication, or telemetry, those behaviors should be clearly documented before release.
