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

This skill fetches GitHub IP addresses from multiple external mirror sources and writes them to /etc/hosts using sudo; while it transparently discloses risks and has backup features, modifying system DNS resolution from untrusted external sources represents genuine elevated-access risk.

⚠ Flagged for review — coarse, uncorroborated signal, not a confirmed exploit. Review the config yourself before installing.

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.
