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). The skill explicitly downloads and runs a remote executable from https://www.mathworks.com/mpm/glnxa64/mpm (and the Windows/macOS equivalents) and fetches release input templates at runtime from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mathworks-ref-arch/matlab-dockerfile/refs/heads/main/mpm-input-files/... which directly control what the agent installs/executes, so these URLs are required runtime dependencies that fetch code or instructions the agent executes.
MEDIUM W013: Attempt to modify system services in skill instructions.
- Attempt to modify system services in skill instructions detected (high risk: 0.80). The skill explicitly instructs the agent to perform privileged system-wide installations (writing PowerShell scripts, invoking Start-Process -Verb RunAs / requiring UAC elevation, writing to system locations like C:\ProgramData or /usr/local) which obtains elevated privileges and modifies the machine state, so it can compromise the host.
