Full Analysis

CRITICAL E006: Malicious code pattern detected in skill scripts.

  • Malicious code pattern detected (high risk: 1.00). This skill explicitly documents how to discover, exploit, and maintain unauthorized access (reverse shells, Meterpreter sessions, payload generation, persistence, credential harvesting, keylogging, file exfiltration, and evasion), which are high-risk behaviors commonly used for backdoors and data exfiltration.

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

  • Attempt to modify system services in skill instructions detected (high risk: 0.90). The skill explicitly tells the user to run a sudo command to initialize msfdb and contains multiple post-exploitation/persistence and privilege-escalation instructions (e.g., getsystem, sshkey_persistence, payload generation) that encourage bypassing or changing system state, so it should be flagged.
