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 a step-by-step, actionable playbook for GCP privilege escalation and lateral movement — including service-account impersonation, secret and terraform state exfiltration, GKE/node compromise, and persistent backdoor creation — indicating deliberate malicious intent and high abuse risk.
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 prompt contains explicit instructions to perform privileged host escapes (a privileged kubectl pod that nsenters and cats /etc/shadow), to search and copy local filesystem terraform state, and to create persistent org-level IAM changes and SA keys — i.e. actions that read/modify sensitive system or infra state and enable persistence/privilege escalation.
