Security
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.
The skill explicitly instructs the agent to "request escalation" when running networked helper scripts (SKILL.md:27) and allows downloading/overwriting preinstalled system skills (SKILL.md:50), which encourages obtaining elevated privileges and modifying system-level state.
Low
Low-risk findings.
1 low severity finding. Worth noting, but not necessarily harmful.
The skill fetches instructions or code from an external URL at runtime, and the fetched content directly controls the agent’s prompts or executes code. This dynamic dependency allows the external source to modify the agent’s behavior without any changes to the skill itself.
The installer and listing scripts fetch code and directory listings from GitHub at runtime (e.g., via https://api.github.com/... and https://codeload.github.com/...), which downloads remote repository content that can contain skills (prompts/instructions or executable code) that will be installed and thus can control agent behavior.
