Full Analysis

CRITICAL E005: Suspicious download URL detected in skill instructions.

  • Suspicious download URL detected (high risk: 1.00). The URL is highly suspicious because it points to an untrusted domain serving a direct .sh script and the skill prompt explicitly pipes curl output into bash/eval/xargs (classic remote code execution/malware distribution patterns).

CRITICAL E006: Malicious code pattern detected in skill scripts.

  • Malicious code pattern detected (high risk: 1.00). These commands directly fetch and execute code from an untrusted remote host (curl | bash, tee >(bash), xargs bash -c, eval "$(curl ...)"), enabling immediate remote code execution, backdoor installation, and potential data exfiltration—clearly malicious intent.

MEDIUM W011: Third-party content exposure detected (indirect prompt injection risk).


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

  • Potentially malicious external URL detected (high risk: 1.00). The skill contains runtime commands that fetch and directly execute remote code from https://evil.example.org/p.sh (curl ... | bash, bash -c "$(curl ...)", eval "$(curl ...)", etc.), which means the external URL controls code executed by the agent.

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

  • Attempt to modify system services in skill instructions detected (high risk: 1.00). The prompt explicitly shows several ways to fetch and execute remote scripts (RCE via curl | bash / eval / xargs / tee >(bash)), which directs the agent to run arbitrary remote code on the host and thus can modify or compromise the machine state.
