Critical

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 is an offensive ReDoS hunting playbook that includes concrete exploit construction and a runnable PoC that can be used to perform denial-of-service against remote endpoints; it is dual-use but clearly provides actionable, malicious-capable steps.
