Security

Reporting a vulnerability

Report it privately at https://github.com/erictran308/tuitube/security/advisories/new (Security → Report a vulnerability), not in a public issue.

Say what a video, channel, feed or file has to contain, what happens, your tuitube version (tuitube --version), OS and terminal.

What counts

Anything a video, channel or feed on YouTube, or a file tuitube is pointed at, can do to you through tuitube. For example:

  • a title, name, description or thumbnail that runs code, opens something without asking, or garbles the terminal;
  • tuitube starting yt-dlp or mpv with options or URLs other than the ones it built;
  • anything sent to YouTube that you didn't ask for, such as watch history;
  • your subscriptions or history left where another account can read them.

Bugs in yt-dlp or mpv themselves belong at https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp and https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv.
