MEDIUM W012: Unverifiable external dependency detected (runtime URL that controls agent).
- Potentially malicious external URL detected (high risk: 0.70). The skill references multiple external GitHub repositories and sites (
carlospolop/PEASS-ng,rebootuser/LinEnum,diego-treitos/linux-smart-enumeration,DominicBreuker/pspy, etc.) for downloading and executing automated tools, but these are third-party/community or user-selected resources rather than enforced official first-party dependencies.
MEDIUM W013: Attempt to modify system services in skill instructions.
- Attempt to modify system services in skill instructions detected (high risk: 1.00). This skill prompt explicitly provides instructions, exploits, and payload examples for Linux privilege escalation, including modifying sensitive system files like
/etc/passwd,/etc/shadow, and/etc/sudoersto gain root access.
