Full Analysis
CRITICAL E006: Malicious code pattern detected in skill scripts.
- Malicious code pattern detected (high risk: 1.00). This document is high-risk offensive guidance: it explicitly instructs on multiple privilege-escalation techniques (SUID/SGID abuse, sudo misconfigurations, kernel exploits, cron/service hijacking, capabilities) that enable unauthorized system compromise and can be directly weaponized if used outside authorized testing.
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 the agent to perform Linux privilege escalation (commands to find SUID/SGID, sudo misconfigurations, kernel exploits, cron abuse, writable systemd/unit modifications and achieving root), which directs actions that modify or compromise the host system state and require or seek to obtain elevated privileges.
