Risk Level: MEDIUM
Full Analysis
MEDIUM W012: Unverifiable external dependency detected (runtime URL that controls agent).
- Potentially malicious external URL detected (high risk: 0.80). The skill's installation steps download and install remote Wazuh packages (e.g., https://packages.wazuh.com/4.x/windows/wazuh-agent-4.9.0-1.msi and the apt repo/key at https://packages.wazuh.com/key/GPG-KEY-WAZUH and https://packages.wazuh.com/4.x/apt/), which are fetched at runtime and execute remote code that the skill relies on for agent deployment.
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 contains explicit, privileged system-modifying instructions (adding APT sources and GPG keys, writing to /etc and /var/ossec, running apt-get/msiexec, enabling systemd services, and configuring active-response actions that block IPs or disable accounts), which require administrative access and change the machine's state.
