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 prompt explicitly instructs simulating persistence (including backdoors, scheduled tasks, accounts, and reversible system changes) and evaluating lateral movement, which directs actions that can modify system state and require privileged changes, so it should be flagged.
