cloud-penetration-testing
This skill should be used when the user asks to "perform cloud penetration testing", "assess Azure or AWS or GCP security", "enumerate cloud resources", "exploit cloud misconfigurations", "test O365 security", "extract secrets from cloud environments", or "audit cloud infrastructure". It provides comprehensive techniques for security assessment across major cloud platforms.

3 findings: 1 critical severity, 1 high severity, 1 medium 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 content contains explicit, actionable instructions for credential theft, secret exfiltration, creating persistent backdoors (service principals and access keys), password spraying, and metadata/instance-token harvesting that enable unauthorized remote access and data exfiltration.
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
This skill contains multiple instructions that extract, print, or pass secrets on command lines or in variables (e.g., --secret_access_key, converting $spn.Secret to an unsecure string, --password, importing/storing stolen token files), which would require an LLM to handle or reproduce secret values verbatim.
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
The skill includes explicit sudo commands and instructions that install or modify software/configuration on the host (e.g., "sudo ./aws/install", "curl ... | bash", and "sudo cp" / "sudo find"), which push an agent to obtain elevated privileges and change the machine state.
Low
Low-risk findings.
1 low severity finding. Worth noting, but not necessarily harmful.
W012: Unverifiable external dependency detected (runtime URL that controls agent).
What this means
The skill fetches instructions or code from an external URL at runtime, and the fetched content directly controls the agent’s prompts or executes code. This dynamic dependency allows the external source to modify the agent’s behavior without any changes to the skill itself.
Why it was flagged
The skill's Required Tools installation fetches and executes remote installers at runtime (curl "https://awscli.amazonaws.com/awscli-exe-linux-x86_64.zip" then ./aws/install and curl https://sdk.cloud.google.com | bash), which downloads and runs remote code, creating a high-confidence runtime dependency.
