2 findings: 1 critical severity, 1 high severity. Installing this skill is not recommended: please review these findings carefully if you do intend to do so.
E006: Malicious code pattern detected in skill scripts.
What this means
Detected high-risk code patterns in the skill content — including its prompts, tool definitions, and resources — such as data exfiltration, backdoors, remote code execution, credential theft, system compromise, supply chain attacks, and obfuscation techniques.
Why it was flagged
The skill contains explicit capabilities to record and upload full UI sessions and screenshots to external servers, run shell commands on targets (including a local "grant AI control" flow), and includes an option to disable recording for individual actions—together these enable covert data exfiltration and remote control.
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
The prompt includes literal plaintext credentials (e.g., "SecureP@ss123") in example commands and references an API key variable (ANTHROPIC_API_KEY), which would require the agent to emit secrets verbatim if used that way.
Low
Low-risk findings.
1 low severity finding. Worth noting, but not necessarily harmful.
W011: Third-party content exposure detected (indirect prompt injection risk).
What this means
The skill exposes the agent to untrusted, user-generated content from public third-party sources, creating a risk of indirect prompt injection. This includes browsing arbitrary URLs, reading social media posts or forum comments, and analyzing content from unknown websites.
Why it was flagged
The required runtime flow includes `cua do snapshot`, which uses AI to summarize a live screenshot/screen contents and therefore can ingest free-form text that appears on the target screen (i.e., outsider-authored UI/content from whatever system the user targets) into the LLM context.
