Risk Level: MEDIUM
Full Analysis
MEDIUM W012: Unverifiable external dependency detected (runtime URL that controls agent).
- Potentially malicious external URL detected (high risk: 1.00). Flagged because the skill explicitly instructs it will periodically read 'bionicbot-' GitHub repositories (e.g., https://github.com//bionicbot- or git@github.com:org/bionicbot-*.git) at runtime and uses the fetched SKILL.md content to directly audit and rewrite the agent's instructions.
MEDIUM W013: Attempt to modify system services in skill instructions.
- Attempt to modify system services in skill instructions detected (low risk: 0.30). The skill instructs the agent to audit, rewrite, and commit its own skill files (self-modification and repository changes), which changes code/state but does not ask for sudo, create system users, or modify OS-level/sudo-protected files.
