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 explicitly requires root/sudo and contains many commands that modify system files and firewall rules (e.g., editing /etc/fail2ban/*.conf, adding iptables rules, restarting services, installing packages, creating cron jobs), which directly change the host's state and thus should be flagged.
