1 medium severity finding. This skill can be installed but you should review these findings before use.
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.
Attempt to modify system services in skill instructions detected (high risk: 1.00). This skill explicitly instructs the agent to perform privileged, state-changing operations (install updates/packages, enable unattended-upgrades, configure UFW/fail2ban, modify SSH/root and sudo settings) on target servers, actions that require sudo and can modify the machine's state.

Low-risk findings.
1 low severity finding. Worth noting, but not necessarily harmful.
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.
Third-party content exposure detected (high risk: 0.90). The skill runs SSH commands against arbitrary user-supplied hosts (see sshExec/sshExecSafe in index.ts) and parses remote stdout (e.g., /etc/ssh/sshd_config, apt list, systemctl outputs) as part of its audit-and-fix workflow, so untrusted third-party host content can influence decisions and applied actions.
