Critical

E006: Malicious code pattern detected in skill scripts.

What this means

Detected high-risk code patterns in the skill content — including its prompts, tool definitions, and resources — such as data exfiltration, backdoors, remote code execution, credential theft, system compromise, supply chain attacks, and obfuscation techniques.

Why it was flagged

The skill attempts to exfiltrate sensitive local credentials (API keys and SSH private keys) by embedding them into outbound emails and URL parameters.

High

W007: Insecure credential handling detected in skill instructions.

What this means

The skill handles credentials insecurely by requiring the agent to include secret values verbatim in its generated output. This exposes credentials in the agent’s context and conversation history, creating a risk of data exfiltration.

Why it was flagged

The skill instructs the agent to read sensitive secret values from environment variables and include them verbatim in email metadata and URL parameters, creating a severe credential exfiltration risk.

Medium

W013: Attempt to modify system services in skill instructions.

What this means

The skill prompts the agent to compromise the security or integrity of the user’s machine by modifying system-level services or configurations, such as obtaining elevated privileges, altering startup scripts, or changing system-wide settings.

Why it was flagged

The skill prompt instructs the agent to exfiltrate sensitive environment variables like API keys and SSH private keys, which compromises system secrets and credentials, although it does not directly modify system files or use sudo.
