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 is an explicit, step-by-step offensive playbook for escaping Kubernetes pods, gaining host access, stealing cluster credentials, and evading detection — clearly malicious and intended for abuse.
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 escaping a container to the host (mounting host filesystems, chroot/nsenter), using the docker/containerd socket, creating privileged pods, and reading/modifying host system files and credentials—clear actions that compromise and modify the machine state.
