Youtube risk

Hi guys.

In Palo Alto Firewall 7.1.8 version, Youtube-base application is categorized with risk 4, because is Used by Malware and Has Known Vulnerabilities. I try to search for information about it but I couldn't find it yet. There is some information in https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/t5/General-Topics/RIYADH/m-p/168130#M53616, but it doesn't show the evidence regarding the malware and vulnerabilities in youtube.

Could some one provide information that supports the malware and vulnerabilities found in youtube?

Thanks a lot.

This thread was started in the Community feedback area, so it was moved to "Threat & Vulnerability" area.

As far as YouTube vulnerabilities are concerned, I was able to find this information out about Cross site scripting and YouTube.

What I know apparently some users reported that there is a scam going around that uses the YouTube email. Sending an invitation to be moderator of some other account and then it doesnt show the actuall URL ut shortened one.
