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

The document explicitly instructs creation and execution of targeted phishing campaigns (mentioning evilginx2, gophish, impersonation, OSINT-driven targeting and selecting engineers for access), indicating deliberate malicious intent to harvest credentials and gain unauthorized access.

W011: Third-party content exposure detected (indirect prompt injection risk).

What this means

The skill exposes the agent to untrusted, user-generated content from public third-party sources, creating a risk of indirect prompt injection. This includes browsing arbitrary URLs, reading social media posts or forum comments, and analyzing content from unknown websites.

Why it was flagged

SKILL.md’s runtime “OSINT handoff” input (employee list/org chart/email format/tech stack/current events) is explicitly sourced from an outsider (“from the OsintOperator”), and that provided free-text is intended to be used to write the pretext content (e.g., `plan/phisher/pretext.md`) that would then be passed into downstream tooling/LLM context.
