Caveat verdict
linux-sysadmin
Linux system administration knowledge skill covering 12 modules (users, SSH, storage, network, systemd, firewall, monitoring, backup, certs, Ansible, containers, IaC); no capabilities listed, pure instructional content with standard sysadmin best practices.
⚠ 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.
Findings (18)
Accesses sensitive system files
SKILL.md · code · /etc/passwd
Recursive delete from root or home — destructive command
references/backup_recovery.md · code · rm -rf /
Possible hardcoded credential
references/ansible_automation.md · code · password: "{{ vault_db_password }}
Pipe-to-shell pattern (curl | sh) — supply chain attack vector
references/container_management.md · code · curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com | bash
Pipe to bash — executes piped content as shell commands
references/container_management.md · code · | bash
Pipe-to-python pattern — remote code execution risk
references/monitoring_logging.md · code · curl -s http://localhost:9090/api/v1/status/tsdb | python
Pipe to python — executes piped content as Python code
references/monitoring_logging.md · code · | python3
References sudo — requests elevated privileges
SKILL.md · frontmatter · sudo
Long base64 string (100+ chars) — likely obfuscated payload
SKILL.md · frontmatter · config/chmod/SELinux/fdisk/LVM/fstab/RAID/nmcli/iptables/firewalld/systemd/Prome
References SSH/GPG private keys

references/ansible_automation.md · code · .ssh/
yum install — installs system packages
references/backup_recovery.md · code · yum install
apt-get install — installs system packages
references/container_management.md · code · apt-get install
Uses exec() — may execute shell commands
references/systemd_services.md · code · exec(
Sets world-executable permissions
references/certificate_tls.md · code · chmod 700

Why the tier is capped
Execution sink present in raw bytes (Hard Floor: class A/B/F). Final tier capped at Caution — cannot be lifted by any downgrade, example-payload opt-in, or allowlist.
Permissions & capabilities
No declared permissions — minimal attack surface.
Is this flag fair?
Thanks — recorded.
