CRITICAL E006: Malicious code pattern detected in skill scripts.

  • Malicious code pattern detected (high risk: 1.00). This content is high-risk dual-use material: it contains explicit, actionable instructions and tooling to enumerate RBAC, impersonate/mint tokens, read secrets, schedule privileged/hostPath pods, and exfiltrate host credentials, enabling credential theft, remote code execution, and host compromise.

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: 1.00). The skill explicitly instructs using captured tokens and creating a privileged hostPath pod (manifest shown) that reads /host/etc/shadow, i.e., it directs actions that modify cluster state and can compromise the host.
