Full Analysis

CRITICAL E006: Malicious code pattern detected in skill scripts.

  • Malicious code pattern detected (high risk: 1.00). The content contains explicit, actionable instructions for creating and deploying backdoors and remote shells (msfvenom payloads, reverse_tcp/reverse_https handlers), credential theft (hashdump, credential gatherers, keylogging), persistence and privilege escalation modules, and evasion/encoding techniques—patterns clearly enabling deliberate malicious compromise and data exfiltration even if framed for authorized testing.

MEDIUM W012: Unverifiable external dependency detected (runtime URL that controls agent).


MEDIUM W013: Attempt to modify system services in skill instructions.

  • Attempt to modify system services in skill instructions detected (high risk: 0.80). The prompt instructs running privileged system commands (e.g., "sudo systemctl start postgresql", "sudo msfdb init"), installing software, and generating/writing payloads and persistence artifacts — all of which modify the host system state and can require or encourage sudo/elevation.
