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
High-risk: the document describes how to open remote debugging REPLs (debugpy, remote-pdb), attach/inject into running processes, and relax ptrace protections — all of which enable remote code execution/backdoor-like access if misused 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 the user to bypass kernel ptrace restrictions using a sudo write to /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope (and similarly suggests echoing 0 into that sysctl), which is a direct request to modify system security settings requiring root privileges.
