2 findings: 1 critical severity, 1 medium severity. Installing this skill is not recommended: please review these findings carefully if you do intend to do so.
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 contains explicit, actionable adversary techniques and emulation guidance (web shells, certutil/BITS stagers, C2 setup, credential theft, persistence, exfiltration, and supply‑chain compromise) that can be directly abused to deploy backdoors and perform data theft.
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 emulation of privileged, state-changing operations (creating accounts, modifying services/init scripts, dumping LSASS/NTDS, using certutil/BITSAdmin to drop stagers, standing up C2), which would modify or require sudo/root access on the host and thus can compromise the machine state.
