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). The skill explicitly instructs acquiring memory by loading a kernel module (LiME/AVML) and running privileged scanners (rkhunter/chkrootkit, shown with sudo), actions that require root and modify kernel/system state.
