🟠 Risky
Significant risk patterns flagged — automated deep scan, not behavioral proof.

Reads local files AND makes external network calls

The skill provides a complete offensive SSH pentesting methodology including Hydra brute-forcing against arbitrary IP targets, Metasploit exploitation instructions, and credential attack workflows — legitimate for authorized security testing but inherently risky as a general-purpose skill with no scope controls.

Automated static analysis — 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 — it does not verify that one flows into another. Read the code to confirm a live chain.

Capability combination critical

Reads local files AND makes external network calls — the capabilities for data exfiltration co-occur (data-flow not verified)

LLM02 · LLM06 · ASI03

Capability combination critical

Accesses system credential store AND makes external network calls

LLM02 · ASI03

Capability combination critical

Reads files, encodes data, AND makes external network calls — the obfuscated-exfiltration pattern (data-flow not verified)

LLM02 · ASI03

Capability combination high

Accesses credentials AND makes external network calls — potential credential theft

LLM02 · ASI03

Capability combination high

Accesses credentials AND encodes data — may obfuscate stolen credentials

LLM02 · ASI03 · ASI04

Capability combination high

Accesses credentials AND writes files — may persist stolen credentials locally

LLM02 · LLM06 · ASI03

Capability combination medium

Both reads and writes files — verify scope is limited to intended directories

LLM06 · ASI02

Permission integrity

Makes network requests but does not declare curl/wget in required binaries

network_out

Performs file operations but does not declare file-accessing binaries

file_read+write

Code accesses API keys/tokens but declares no environment variables
