Risk Level: CRITICAL
Full Analysis
CRITICAL E006: Malicious code pattern detected in skill scripts.
- Malicious code pattern detected (high risk: 1.00). This skill intentionally disables sandboxing (--yolo) and provisions interactive scheduled tasks, encoded PowerShell transport, and silent package installs to run arbitrary Codex prompts in a VM user session—providing a clear remote-code-execution/backdoor surface that could be abused for persistence, privilege escalation, or data exfiltration.
MEDIUM W011: Third-party content exposure detected (indirect prompt injection risk).
- Third-party content exposure detected (medium risk: 0.30). Outsider-authored free text is ingested at runtime only via the user-supplied Codex prompt passed as the scheduled task
--yolo exec ... "<$prompt>", which then drives the VM-local computer-use agent.
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 disabling sandbox protections with "--yolo", installing software (winget AutoHotkey), and creating/running temporary scheduled tasks in the interactive session, all of which modify system state and bypass normal security controls.
