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
Insecure credential handling detected (high risk: 0.90). The prompt includes literal plaintext replication passwords (e.g., CREATE ROLE ... PASSWORD 'secure_password' and SOURCE_PASSWORD='...') and asks for configuration files and initialization scripts, which forces the LLM to emit secret values verbatim into generated commands and configs, creating an exfiltration risk.
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: 0.90). This skill directs the agent to perform privileged, state-changing operations on database servers—editing system configuration files (pg_hba.conf, my.cnf), writing into system data directories (e.g., /var/lib/postgresql/data), creating replication roles, stopping services, and managing replication slots—which can modify the machine's configuration and require elevated privileges.
