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
This doc contains explicit instructions to open remote debugging listeners (debugpy.listen / remote-pdb), inject debugpy into running processes, and relax ptrace kernel restrictions — all of which provide an unauthenticated remote REPL/remote code-execution vector if left enabled or exposed.
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 explicitly instructs changing kernel ptrace settings with sudo (echo 0 | sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope / echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope), which requires root and weakens host security, so it does push the agent to modify system state.
