Caveat verdict
mirror-download
download-mirror
Receives external input AND executes processes
Legitimate mirror-download helper for China-based users blocked from HuggingFace/GitHub; all network calls go to documented public mirrors (hf-mirror.com, modelscope.cn, gitcode.com) and the process_exec usage is limited to connectivity checks and standard download commands.
Automated static analysis โ not a human review. Caveat flags capabilities, not confirmed intent, and can produce false positives. Disagree with this verdict? Use Dispute below.
What it does
These are capability combinations: each listed behavior occurs in the skill, but Caveat detects co-occurrence โ it does not verify that one flows into another. Read the code to confirm a live chain.
Receives external input AND executes processes โ the shape of a command & control channel

Why the tier is capped
Execution sink present in raw bytes (Hard Floor: class D). Final tier capped at Caution โ cannot be lifted by any downgrade, example-payload opt-in, or allowlist.
Permissions & capabilities
No declared permissions โ minimal attack surface.
