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 skill exposes programmatic access to decrypted user secrets (secret_list and secret_read), a direct enabler of credential theft and data exfiltration if abused or accessed by an untrusted actor.
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 skill exposes a tool that returns decrypted secret values "for use in scripts" and instructs using them in API calls/git auth, which requires the agent to handle and potentially embed secrets verbatim in generated commands or requests (high exfiltration risk) despite the admonition not to print them.
