Full Analysis

MEDIUM W012: Unverifiable external dependency detected (runtime URL that controls agent).

  • Potentially malicious external URL detected (high risk: 0.70). The skill installs and runs n8n via "npm install -g n8n" and "npx n8n", which will fetch and execute code from the npm registry (e.g. https://registry.npmjs.org/n8n), so it relies on remote code fetched at runtime.

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 instructs installing software globally, registering a managed system service, and storing data under /root/.n8n (and uses service registration that likely modifies system service files), all of which modify system state and would typically require elevated privileges—so it pushes the agent to perform privileged/system-level changes.
