BENIGN for internal consistency: the skill is a documentation-style guide for Nikto and its capabilities, data flows, and prerequisites align with web vulnerability scanning. However, it still poses HIGH security risk as an AI-agent skill because it enables active offensive security scanning and multi-target probing with optional auth and evasion features; that is risky capability, not evidence of malware.
