MEDIUM W013: Attempt to modify system services in skill instructions.

  • Attempt to modify system services in skill instructions detected (high risk: 1.00). The prompt explicitly encourages running the Codex agent with "dangerous" / bypass flags (e.g. --dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox, danger-full-access) and describes installing dependencies and modifying system files (operations that require elevated privileges), which directly pushes the agent to modify and compromise the host state.
