This project is in early development. Security fixes are applied to the latest
version on the main branch. There are no long-term-support branches yet.
Please do not open a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities.
Instead, report it privately using GitHub's private vulnerability reporting: go to the repository's Security tab and click Report a vulnerability.
Please include:
- A description of the issue and its potential impact.
- Steps to reproduce, or a proof of concept.
- The affected version / commit and your browser + version.
You can expect an initial response within a few days. Once the issue is confirmed, we'll work on a fix and coordinate a disclosure timeline with you.
This is a client-side browser extension with no backend of its own (the only network requests are video thumbnails loaded from YouTube's image CDN). The most relevant concerns are:
- Handling of YouTube page content (the extension stores and re-inserts feed
HTML, and stores a log of seen videos, via
chrome.storage.local). - Extension permissions (
storage, host access toyoutube.com).
Thank you for helping keep the project and its users safe.
