Medium

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 explicitly instructs creating/deleting test user accounts and includes sudo commands to restart system services and run packet captures (tcpdump), all of which require elevated privileges and modify the host system state.
