windows-privilege-escalation
This skill should be used when the user asks to "escalate privileges on Windows," "find Windows privesc vectors," "enumerate Windows for privilege escalation," "exploit Windows misconfigurations," or "perform post-exploitation privilege escalation." It provides comprehensive guidance for discovering and exploiting privilege escalation vulnerabilities in Windows environments.

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
This document contains explicit, actionable instructions for credential harvesting, remote command execution (reverse shells), privilege escalation exploits, and AV-evasion—demonstrating clear malicious intent and guidance for backdoor-style access.
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 skill explicitly instructs harvesting and embedding cleartext credentials (e.g., "DefaultPassword: P@ssw0rd123" and commands using -p P@ssw0rd123 or netsh ... key=clear), which requires the LLM to handle and output secret values verbatim, creating an exfiltration risk.
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
This skill explicitly instructs modifying system services, registry, and system files and running privilege-escalation exploits (sc config, msiexec, JuicyPotato, mimikatz, SAM/SYSTEM extraction, WSL root setting), which directly compromise and change the machine's state.
