tessl review fix ./packages/decepticon/decepticon/skills/standard/post-exploit/privilege-escalation/SKILL.mdE006: 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 is an explicit offensive privilege-escalation playbook providing step-by-step commands for reverse shells, backdoor account creation, remote payload download/execution, credential theft, persistence, and service/DLL abuse — clearly intended for malicious use.
W007: Insecure credential handling detected in skill instructions.
What this means
The skill handles credentials insecurely by requiring the agent to include secret values verbatim in its generated output. This exposes credentials in the agent’s context and conversation history, creating a risk of data exfiltration.
Why it was flagged
The prompt embeds a plaintext password (P@ssw0rd123) in example commands and explicitly instructs credential dumping/extraction, which would require the LLM to handle or reproduce secret values verbatim.
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 actions that change system state and bypass protections—e.g., adding local admin users, modifying registry to bypass UAC, copying payloads to system paths, editing cron jobs, overwriting /etc/passwd, and using sudo/SUID exploits—so it pushes the agent to compromise the host.
