However, there are **several medium-priority issues** that should be addressed before production release, primarily around input validation, path sanitization, and dependency management.

### Risk Assessment
- **Critical Issues:** 0
- **High Priority:** 2
- **Medium Priority:** 5
- **Low Priority:** 4
- **Good Practices:** 8

---

## 1. CRITICAL ISSUES

### None Found ✅

No critical security vulnerabilities were identified that would allow remote code execution, privilege escalation, or direct data exfiltration.

---

## 2. HIGH PRIORITY ISSUES

### H1. Insufficient Path Traversal Protection

**Location:** `src/main.js:806`, `src/main.js:473-478`

**Description:**
File paths from user input are not fully sanitized against directory traversal attacks. While basic validation exists, there's no explicit prevention of `../` sequences or absolute path injection.

**Impact:**
An attacker could potentially:
- Write files outside the intended download directory
- Overwrite system files if the app has sufficient permissions
- Access sensitive directories through crafted filenames

**Code Example:**
```javascript
// src/main.js:806 - Insufficient sanitization
'-o', path.join(savePath, '%(title)s.%(ext)s'),
```

**Recommendation:**
```javascript
// Add path sanitization function
function sanitizePath(userPath) {
  // Resolve to absolute path
  const resolved = path.resolve(userPath);

  // Ensure it's within allowed directories
  const allowedBase = path.resolve(app.getPath('home'));
  if (!resolved.startsWith(allowedBase)) {
    throw new Error('Path outside allowed directory');
  }

  // Remove dangerous characters
  return resolved.replace(/[<>:"|?*]/g, '_');
}

// Usage:
const sanitizedPath = sanitizePath(savePath);
'-o', path.join(sanitizedPath, '%(title)s.%(ext)s'),
```

**Priority:** HIGH
**Estimated Effort:** 2-3 hours

---

### H2. Cookie File Path Injection Risk

**Location:** `src/main.js:811-813`, `src/main.js:1108-1115`

**Description:**
Cookie file paths are passed directly to yt-dlp without sufficient validation beyond existence checks. An attacker with file system access could point to arbitrary files.

**Impact:**
- Potential information disclosure if arbitrary files are read by yt-dlp
- System files could be passed as cookie files
- No content validation of cookie file format

**Code Example:**
```javascript
// src/main.js:811 - Insufficient validation
if (cookieFile && fs.existsSync(cookieFile)) {
  args.unshift('--cookies', cookieFile)
}
```

**Recommendation:**
```javascript
// Enhanced cookie file validation
function validateCookieFile(filePath) {
  if (!filePath || typeof filePath !== 'string') {
    throw new Error('Invalid cookie file path');
  }

  // Check file exists
  if (!fs.existsSync(filePath)) {
    throw new Error('Cookie file not found');
  }

  // Check it's a regular file (not directory/symlink)
  const stats = fs.lstatSync(filePath);
  if (!stats.isFile()) {
    throw new Error('Cookie file must be a regular file');
  }

  // Validate file extension
  const ext = path.extname(filePath).toLowerCase();
  if (!['.txt', '.cookies'].includes(ext)) {
    throw new Error('Invalid cookie file format');
  }

  // Check file size (reasonable limit)
  if (stats.size > 1024 * 1024) { // 1MB max
    throw new Error('Cookie file too large');
  }

  // Validate content format (basic Netscape cookie check)
  const content = fs.readFileSync(filePath, 'utf8');
  const lines = content.split('\n').filter(l => l.trim() && !l.startsWith('#'));

  for (const line of lines.slice(0, 5)) { // Check first 5 lines
    const parts = line.split('\t');
    if (parts.length < 7) {
      throw new Error('Invalid cookie file format');
    }
  }

  return filePath;
}

// Usage in main.js:
const validatedCookieFile = cookieFile ? validateCookieFile(cookieFile) : null;
if (validatedCookieFile) {
  args.unshift('--cookies', validatedCookieFile);
}
```

**Priority:** HIGH
**Estimated Effort:** 3-4 hours

---

## 3. MEDIUM PRIORITY ISSUES

### M1. URL Validation Bypass via Unicode/Punycode

**Location:** `scripts/utils/url-validator.js:23-27`

**Description:**
URL validation uses regex patterns that may not properly handle internationalized domain names (IDN), Unicode characters, or punycode sequences. This could allow malicious URLs to bypass validation.

**Impact:**
- Homograph attacks (e.g., `youtubе.com` with Cyrillic 'е')
- SSRF attacks targeting internal networks via Unicode encoding
- Bypass of platform restrictions

**Code Example:**
```javascript
// Current validation - vulnerable to Unicode bypasses
const videoPattern = /^(https?:\/\/)?(www\.)?(youtube\.com\/...|youtu\.be\/)[\w\-_]{11}([?&].*)?$/i;
```

**Recommendation:**
```javascript
// Add URL normalization and stricter validation
function validateAndNormalizeUrl(url) {
  try {
    // Parse URL with built-in URL API (handles Unicode)
    const parsed = new URL(url);

    // Normalize hostname (converts punycode, lowercase)
    const normalizedHost = parsed.hostname.toLowerCase().normalize('NFKC');

    // Whitelist allowed domains (prevent homograph attacks)
    const allowedDomains = [
      'youtube.com',
      'www.youtube.com',
      'youtu.be',
      'm.youtube.com',
      'vimeo.com',
      'www.vimeo.com',
      'player.vimeo.com'
    ];

    if (!allowedDomains.includes(normalizedHost)) {
      throw new Error('Domain not allowed');
    }

    // Ensure protocol is http/https only
    if (!['http:', 'https:'].includes(parsed.protocol)) {
      throw new Error('Invalid protocol');
    }

    // Prevent private IP ranges (SSRF protection)
    if (/^(10\.|172\.(1[6-9]|2[0-9]|3[01])\.|192\.168\.)/.test(parsed.hostname)) {
      throw new Error('Private IP addresses not allowed');
    }

    return parsed.toString();
  } catch (error) {
    throw new Error(`Invalid URL: ${error.message}`);
  }
}
```

**Priority:** MEDIUM
**Estimated Effort:** 4-5 hours

---

### M2. Command Injection Risk in FFmpeg Arguments

**Location:** `scripts/utils/ffmpeg-converter.js:473-478`

**Description:**
While file paths are handled relatively safely, there's no explicit escaping or validation of format/quality parameters that become part of ffmpeg command arguments.

**Impact:**
- Potential command injection if quality/format values are manipulated
- Arbitrary command execution if malicious values reach ffmpeg

**Code Example:**
```javascript
// Current - assumes quality/format are safe
const args = [
  '-i', inputPath,
  '-y',
  ...this.getEncodingArgs(format, quality), // Potentially unsafe
  outputPath
];
```

**Recommendation:**
```javascript
// Add parameter validation and whitelisting
function validateConversionParams(format, quality) {
  const ALLOWED_FORMATS = ['H264', 'ProRes', 'DNxHR', 'Audio only'];
  const ALLOWED_QUALITIES = ['4K', '1440p', '1080p', '720p', '480p', 'best'];

  if (!ALLOWED_FORMATS.includes(format)) {
    throw new Error(`Invalid format: ${format}`);
  }

  if (!ALLOWED_QUALITIES.includes(quality)) {
    throw new Error(`Invalid quality: ${quality}`);
  }

  return { format, quality };
}

// Usage:
async convertVideo(options) {
  const validated = validateConversionParams(options.format, options.quality);
  const args = [
    '-i', inputPath,
    '-y',
    ...this.getEncodingArgs(validated.format, validated.quality),
    outputPath
  ];
  // ...
}
```

**Priority:** MEDIUM
**Estimated Effort:** 2 hours

### M3. Insecure Clipboard Monitoring

**Location:** `src/main.js:237-266`

**Description:**
Clipboard monitoring reads all clipboard content and applies regex matching. This could expose sensitive data if users copy passwords, tokens, or API keys that happen to match video URL patterns.

**Impact:**
- Potential leakage of sensitive data to logs
- Privacy concerns with continuous clipboard monitoring
- No user consent or clear indication of monitoring

**Code Example:**
```javascript
// src/main.js:243-259 - Monitors all clipboard content
clipboardMonitorInterval = setInterval(() => {
  const currentText = clipboard.readText();
  // Processes all clipboard content
}, 1000);
```

**Recommendation:**
```javascript
// 1. Add explicit user consent
// 2. Implement clipboard data sanitization
// 3. Don't log clipboard content

ipcMain.handle('start-clipboard-monitor', async (event, options = {}) => {
  try {
    // Ensure explicit consent
    if (!options.userConsented) {
      return {
        success: false,
        message: 'User consent required for clipboard monitoring'
      };
    }

    // Already monitoring
    if (clipboardMonitorInterval) {
      return { success: false, message: 'Already monitoring' };
    }

    lastClipboardText = clipboard.readText();

    clipboardMonitorInterval = setInterval(() => {
      const currentText = clipboard.readText();

      if (currentText && currentText !== lastClipboardText) {
        lastClipboardText = currentText;

        // ONLY check for video URLs, don't process or log other content
        const youtubeMatch = /^https?:\/\/(www\.)?(youtube\.com|youtu\.be)\/.*$/i.test(currentText);
        const vimeoMatch = /^https?:\/\/(www\.)?vimeo\.com\/\d+$/i.test(currentText);

        if (youtubeMatch || vimeoMatch) {
          // Only send if it's a valid video URL
          event.sender.send('clipboard-url-detected', currentText);
        }
        // Don't log or process non-URL clipboard content
      }
    }, 1000);

    return { success: true };
  } catch (error) {
    // Don't expose clipboard content in error logs
    console.error('Error starting clipboard monitor');
    return { success: false, error: 'Monitoring failed' };
  }
});
```

**Priority:** MEDIUM
**Estimated Effort:** 2-3 hours

---

### M4. Electron Dependency Vulnerability

**Location:** `package.json:32`, npm audit output

**Description:**
Electron version 33.0.0 has a known moderate severity vulnerability (GHSA-vmqv-hx8q-j7mg) - ASAR Integrity Bypass via resource modification.

**Impact:**
- Attackers with local file system access could modify ASAR archives
- Integrity checks can be bypassed
- Code injection possible if attacker has file system access

**CVE Details:**
- **CVE:** GHSA-vmqv-hx8q-j7mg
- **Severity:** Moderate (CVSS 6.1)
- **Affected:** electron < 35.7.5
- **Fixed in:** 35.7.5+

**Recommendation:**
```json
// package.json - Update Electron
{
  "devDependencies": {
    "electron": "^35.7.5"  // Update from 33.0.0
  }
}
```

Then run:
```bash
npm install electron@35.7.5
npm audit fix
```

**Priority:** MEDIUM
**Estimated Effort:** 1-2 hours (testing required)

---

### M5. Excessive Logging of Sensitive Data

**Location:** Throughout codebase - 102 console.log statements in main process

**Description:**
Excessive logging in production could expose:
- File paths (may contain usernames)
- Cookie file locations
- Full download URLs (may contain authentication tokens)
- Internal application state

**Impact:**
- Information disclosure via log files
- Privacy violations if logs are shared
- Potential credential leakage

**Code Example:**
```javascript
// src/main.js:89 - Logs full path
console.log('Selected save directory:', selectedPath)

// src/main.js:165 - Logs cookie file path
console.log('Selected cookie file:', selectedPath)
```

**Recommendation:**
```javascript
// Implement log level system
const LOG_LEVEL = process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production' ? 'ERROR' : 'DEBUG';

const logger = {
  debug: (msg, data) => {
    if (LOG_LEVEL === 'DEBUG') {
      console.log(msg, data);
    }
  },
  info: (msg) => console.log(msg),
  warn: (msg, data) => console.warn(msg, data),
  error: (msg, error) => console.error(msg, error),

  // Sanitize sensitive data
  sanitizePath: (fullPath) => {
    if (!fullPath) return 'N/A';
    return `.../${path.basename(fullPath)}`;
  }
};

// Usage:
logger.debug('Selected save directory:', logger.sanitizePath(selectedPath));

// In production, this won't log
// In development, it shows: "Selected save directory: .../MyFolder"
```

**Priority:** MEDIUM
**Estimated Effort:** 4-6 hours (refactoring required)

---

## 4. LOW PRIORITY ISSUES

### L1. Missing Rate Limiting on IPC Calls

**Location:** `src/preload.js` - All IPC handlers

**Description:**
No rate limiting on IPC calls from renderer process. While not immediately exploitable, a compromised renderer could flood the main process with requests.

**Impact:**
- Potential denial of service
- Resource exhaustion
- UI freeze if main process is overwhelmed

**Recommendation:**
```javascript
// Implement IPC rate limiter
class IPCRateLimiter {
  constructor(maxCalls = 100, windowMs = 1000) {
    this.maxCalls = maxCalls;
    this.windowMs = windowMs;
    this.calls = new Map();
  }

  isAllowed(channel) {
    const now = Date.now();
    const calls = this.calls.get(channel) || [];

    // Remove old calls outside window
    const recentCalls = calls.filter(time => now - time < this.windowMs);

    if (recentCalls.length >= this.maxCalls) {
      return false;
    }

    recentCalls.push(now);
    this.calls.set(channel, recentCalls);
    return true;
  }
}

const rateLimiter = new IPCRateLimiter();

// Wrap IPC handlers
ipcMain.handle('download-video', async (event, options) => {
  if (!rateLimiter.isAllowed('download-video')) {
    throw new Error('Rate limit exceeded');
  }
  // ... rest of handler
});
```

**Priority:** LOW
**Estimated Effort:** 3-4 hours

---

### L2. Weak Error Message Sanitization

**Location:** `src/main.js:1523-1612` - parseDownloadError function

**Description:**
Error messages from yt-dlp are partially sanitized but could still expose internal paths or system information.

**Impact:**
- Information disclosure about internal file structure
- Potential exposure of system configuration
- Version information leakage

**Recommendation:**
```javascript
function sanitizeErrorMessage(error) {
  if (!error) return 'Unknown error';

  // Remove file paths
  let sanitized = error.replace(/[A-Za-z]:\\[\w\\.-]+/g, '[PATH]');
  sanitized = sanitized.replace(/\/[\w\/.-]+/g, '[PATH]');

  // Remove IP addresses
  sanitized = sanitized.replace(/\b\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\b/g, '[IP]');

  // Remove URLs (except domain)
  sanitized = sanitized.replace(/https?:\/\/[^\s]+/g, (url) => {
    try {
      const parsed = new URL(url);
      return `https://${parsed.hostname}`;
    } catch {
      return '[URL]';
    }
  });

  return sanitized;
}
```

**Priority:** LOW
**Estimated Effort:** 2 hours

---

### L3. No Integrity Verification for Downloaded Binaries

**Location:** `setup.js` (not reviewed in detail, but likely present)

**Description:**
Downloaded binaries (yt-dlp, ffmpeg) don't appear to have checksum/signature verification.

**Impact:**
- Supply chain attack risk
- Man-in-the-middle attacks during setup
- Compromised binaries could be installed

**Recommendation:**
```javascript
// Add checksum verification in setup.js
const crypto = require('crypto');

async function verifyBinaryChecksum(filePath, expectedHash, algorithm = 'sha256') {
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    const hash = crypto.createHash(algorithm);
    const stream = fs.createReadStream(filePath);

    stream.on('data', (data) => hash.update(data));
    stream.on('end', () => {
      const calculatedHash = hash.digest('hex');
      if (calculatedHash === expectedHash) {
        resolve(true);
      } else {
        reject(new Error(`Checksum mismatch: expected ${expectedHash}, got ${calculatedHash}`));
      }
    });
    stream.on('error', reject);
  });
}

// Usage:
const YTDLP_CHECKSUMS = {
  'darwin-arm64': 'abc123...',
  'darwin-x64': 'def456...',
  'win32': 'ghi789...'
};

await verifyBinaryChecksum(ytdlpPath, YTDLP_CHECKSUMS[platform]);
```

**Priority:** LOW
**Estimated Effort:** 4-6 hours (requires checksum management)

---

### L4. Insecure Temporary File Handling

**Location:** `src/main.js:1485-1491` - Cleanup of temporary files

**Description:**
Temporary files are deleted but not securely wiped. On some file systems, deleted files can be recovered.

**Impact:**
- Downloaded videos could be recovered from disk
- Cookie files in temp locations could leak
- Privacy concerns for sensitive content

**Recommendation:**
```javascript
// Secure file deletion
function secureDelete(filePath) {
  try {
    // Overwrite with random data before deletion (basic)
    const stats = fs.statSync(filePath);
    const size = stats.size;
    const buffer = crypto.randomBytes(Math.min(size, 1024 * 1024)); // 1MB max

    const fd = fs.openSync(filePath, 'r+');
    fs.writeSync(fd, buffer, 0, buffer.length, 0);
    fs.fsyncSync(fd);
    fs.closeSync(fd);

    // Now delete
    fs.unlinkSync(filePath);
  } catch (error) {
    console.warn('Secure deletion failed, using standard delete:', error);
    fs.unlinkSync(filePath);
  }
}

// Usage:
secureDelete(inputPath);
```

**Note:** This is basic security. For high-security needs, use specialized tools.

**Priority:** LOW
**Estimated Effort:** 2-3 hours

---

## 5. GOOD SECURITY PRACTICES ✅

### G1. Excellent Electron Security Configuration

**Location:** `src/main.js:23-27`

```javascript
webPreferences: {
  nodeIntegration: false,        // ✅ Disabled
  contextIsolation: true,         // ✅ Enabled
  enableRemoteModule: false,      // ✅ Disabled
  preload: path.join(__dirname, 'preload.js')
}
```

**Why This is Good:**
- Prevents renderer process from accessing Node.js APIs directly
- Isolates web content from privileged APIs
- Follows Electron security best practices

---

### G2. Proper IPC Security Boundary

**Location:** `src/preload.js:1-85`

**Why This is Good:**
- Uses `contextBridge` to expose limited API surface
- No direct IPC access from renderer
- All operations go through validated handlers
- Clear separation between renderer and main process

---

### G3. External Link Protection

**Location:** `src/main.js:52-55`

```javascript
mainWindow.webContents.setWindowOpenHandler(({ url }) => {
  shell.openExternal(url)
  return { action: 'deny' }
})
```

**Why This is Good:**
- External links open in system browser
- Prevents navigation hijacking
- Protects against window.open attacks

---

### G4. File Permission Validation

**Location:** `src/main.js:87-88`, `154-156`

```javascript
await fs.promises.access(selectedPath, fs.constants.W_OK)  // Write check
await fs.promises.access(selectedPath, fs.constants.R_OK)   // Read check
```

**Why This is Good:**
- Validates file permissions before operations
- Prevents permission errors during downloads
- Fails fast with clear error messages

---

### G5. Binary Existence Verification

**Location:** `src/main.js:722-734`

```javascript
if (!fs.existsSync(ytDlpPath)) {
  const error = 'yt-dlp binary not found...'
  throw new Error(error)
}
```

**Why This is Good:**
- Validates binaries exist before execution
- Clear error messages for missing dependencies
- Prevents execution of non-existent commands

---

### G6. Secure Spawn Usage

**Location:** Throughout main.js

```javascript
const downloadProcess = spawn(ytDlpPath, args, {
  stdio: ['pipe', 'pipe', 'pipe'],
  cwd: process.cwd()
})
```

**Why This is Good:**
- Uses `spawn` instead of `exec` (safer for user input)
- Arguments passed as array (prevents shell injection)
- No shell interpretation of arguments

---

### G7. Input Type Validation

**Location:** `src/main.js:113-115`, `189-191`

```javascript
if (!dirPath || typeof dirPath !== 'string') {
  return { success: false, error: 'Invalid directory path' }
}
```

**Why This is Good:**
- Validates parameter types before processing
- Rejects non-string inputs
- Prevents type confusion attacks

---

### G8. No Hardcoded Credentials

**Finding:** ✅ No hardcoded passwords, API keys, or secrets found

**Method:** Grep search for common secret patterns

**Why This is Good:**
- No credentials in source code
- No API keys committed to repository
- Follows secret management best practices

---
