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

This document is a high-risk adversary-emulation playbook that explicitly describes deliberate malicious tradecraft (credential theft via NTDS dumps, covert multi‑hop C2/proxy through compromised SOHO routers, remote access/lateral movement, and defense‑evasion such as log clearing) which could be directly abused for real-world intrusions.

Medium

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 playbook explicitly instructs privileged, state-modifying actions (NTDS dumps via ntdsutil/vssadmin, clearing Windows event logs, exploiting edge devices) that require elevated privileges and would modify system state, so it must be flagged.
