W012: Unverifiable external dependency detected (runtime URL that controls agent)
What this means
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.
Why it was flagged
Potentially malicious external URL detected (high risk: 0.90). The skill instructs users to download and execute remote installers (e.g., curl -fSL https://download.cursor.com/linux/appImage/x64 -o cursor.AppImage && ./cursor.AppImage and the .deb URL or https://cursor.com/download), which fetches and runs remote code at runtime, so these download.cursor.com/cursor.com URLs are risky external dependencies.
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.
Why it was flagged
Attempt to modify system services in skill instructions detected (high risk: 0.70). The prompt includes privileged system-modifying instructions (e.g., "sudo dpkg -i cursor.deb") and directs installation via system package mechanisms, which would modify the machine state and require elevated privileges.
