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: 1.00). The skill explicitly instructs privileged, state-changing actions (dd from /dev/sda, mounting EFI, chipsec/flashrom SPI dumps and reflashes, modifying boot/firmware components and disabling protections) that require sudo/root and can alter or bypass system security, so it pushes the agent to compromise the host state.
