Risk Level: MEDIUM
Full Analysis

MEDIUM W012: Unverifiable external dependency detected (runtime URL that controls agent).

  • Potentially malicious external URL detected (high risk: 0.90). The playbook's get_url task downloads an application JAR at runtime from https://artifacts.example.com/{{ app_name }}/{{ app_version }}/{{ app_name }}.jar which is a required runtime dependency that is later started (executing remote code), so it directly fetches and runs external code.

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 includes explicit use of sudo/become and playbook tasks that create users and modify system files and systemd service files (e.g. /etc/systemd/system, /etc/nginx, user accounts), which directly alter the host state and require elevated privileges.
