2 findings: 2 critical severity. Installing this skill is not recommended: please review these findings carefully if you do intend to do so.

Critical

E005: Suspicious download URL detected in skill instructions.

What this means

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.

Why it was flagged

Multiple URLs in the list point to attacker-controlled C2/exfil endpoints, local/internal metadata and management endpoints (169.254.169.254, 127.0.0.1 services, Docker daemon), and unvetted GitHub repositories — all high-risk indicators for SSRF, exfiltration, lateral movement and malware/tool distribution.

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 content contains explicit offensive playbooks and PoCs that instruct data exfiltration, credential theft, remote code execution, supply‑chain backdoors, and malware/AV evasion—clear high-risk malicious behaviors.

Low

Low-risk findings.

1 low severity finding. Worth noting, but not necessarily harmful.

Low

W012: Unverifiable external dependency detected (runtime URL that controls agent).

What this means

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.

Why it was flagged

Two skills include explicit git clone + install/run steps that fetch and execute remote code at runtime (ml-model-extraction uses "git clone https://github.com/ftramer/Steal-ML" and ti-yara-hunting uses "git clone https://github.com/Neo23x0/yarGen.git"), so these URLs represent runtime external dependencies that execute remote code.
