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 contains explicit, actionable instructions and tooling for spearphishing, deploying backdoors/RMM agents, credential theft (Mimikatz/LaZagne), C2 setup (Sliver/Sliver-like frameworks, DNS tunneling), and exfiltration (Rclone to Wasabi), indicating clear malicious intent and high abuse risk.
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 skill explicitly instructs the agent to install/abuse RMM agents, run obfuscated PowerShell via proxy-execution binaries, create persistence (registry keys, services, scheduled tasks, DLL side‑loading), and run privilege‑escalation/credential‑dumping tools (Mimikatz, CrackMapExec, Zerologon exploits), all of which modify the host system state and require elevated privileges.
