Security
4 findings: 2 critical severity, 1 high severity, 1 medium severity. Installing this skill is not recommended: please review these findings carefully if you do intend to do so.
Detected a suspicious URL in the skill instructions that could lead the agent to download and execute malicious scripts or binaries. This includes links to executables from untrusted sources, typosquatting of official packages, URL shorteners that obscure the destination, and personal file hosting services.
The GitHub repo (p0dalirius/Coercer) hosts offensive tooling that can be used to coerce/relay Windows authentication and achieve domain compromise (high-risk); the ca.target.local URL is an internal AD CS endpoint used as an attack target rather than a download source.
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.
This document is an explicit, step‑by‑step malicious playbook to coerce Windows hosts (notably Domain Controllers) into authenticating to attacker-controlled endpoints, capture/relay those NTLM credentials, and escalate to full domain compromise (credential theft and unauthorized privilege escalation).
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.
The prompt instructs embedding plaintext credentials in commands (e.g., -u/-p flags and user:pass@ host strings), which forces an LLM to handle and potentially reproduce secret values verbatim in outputs.
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.
The skill explicitly instructs running privileged commands with sudo (e.g., impacket-ntlmrelayx, Coercer, responder) to set up and run offensive tooling, which pushes obtaining elevated privileges on the host and can modify its state for attacks.
Low
Low-risk findings.
1 low severity finding. Worth noting, but not necessarily harmful.
The skill fetches instructions or code from an external URL at runtime, and the fetched content directly controls the agent’s prompts or executes code. This dynamic dependency allows the external source to modify the agent’s behavior without any changes to the skill itself.
The skill explicitly runs "git clone https://github.com/p0dalirius/Coercer" (SKILL.md:38) and then executes its Coercer.py (SKILL.md:39), meaning remote code is fetched at runtime and executed.
