Full Analysis

HIGH W007: Insecure credential handling detected in skill instructions.

  • Insecure credential handling detected (high risk: 0.80). The skill tells the agent to read local credential files and to place the management/application keys into Authorization headers or query parameters for API calls, which requires the agent to handle secrets that could be exposed if echoed or included in generated output.

CRITICAL E005: Suspicious download URL detected in skill instructions.

  • Suspicious download URL detected (high risk: 1.00). The listed URLs are mostly official docs and APIs on cohesivity.ai and look benign, but the direct installer script (https://cohesivity.ai/quickstart.sh) is a high-risk executable (curl | bash) that can run arbitrary code and is commonly abused to distribute malware.

CRITICAL E006: Malicious code pattern detected in skill scripts.

  • Malicious code pattern detected (high risk: 1.00). The document instructs executing remote install scripts (curl | bash), explicitly counsels concealing caller identity and evading WAF/default client detection via custom User-Agent, and mandates automatic bootstrapping without explicit user initiation — patterns consistent with supply‑chain installation, stealth/anti‑detection, and potential unauthorized provisioning/backdoor behavior.

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


MEDIUM W009: Direct money access capability detected (payment gateways, crypto, banking).

  • Direct money access detected (high risk: 1.00). The skill exposes explicit billing APIs and wallet-related operations. It documents POST /api/billing/subscription and POST /api/billing/topup (which create checkout flows) and states managed agents "spend from the wallet." These are specific, finance-related endpoints/operations (billing/topup/wallet spend), not generic tooling, so the skill grants direct financial execution capability.
