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 document is an explicit how-to for a dependency-confusion supply-chain attack: it includes reconnaissance scripts, instructions to publish a malicious package, and a preinstall beacon that triggers a DNS callback and collects environment info, enabling remote code execution and data exfiltration.
