Why it was flagged
The document contains explicit, actionable descriptions and emulation guidance for credential theft, web-shell backdoors, proxyed C2, exfiltration, and in-memory code injection — all deliberate malicious capabilities and abuse patterns.
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.
