Audited by Gen Agent Trust Hub on Apr 27, 2026
Risk Level: MEDIUMCOMMAND_EXECUTION
Full Analysis
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill instructs the agent to execute high-impact system actions including unconditional process termination (kill -9), circuit breaker trips, and account locks.
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The procedure mandates the bypassing of graceful shutdown protocols in favor of 'hard kills', which can lead to significant data loss or state corruption without a defined undo path.
- [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill processes user-provided targets for destructive actions. \n * Ingestion points: User-supplied 'target' in the invocation string. \n * Boundary markers: Instructs the agent to restate boundaries but lacks strict automated validation. \n * Capability inventory: Includes process termination and account locking across the system. \n * Sanitization: No sanitization or validation of the target string is specified, creating a risk of malicious redirection of the kill command.
