Automated safety checks

scanned 28 Sept 2026

This skill failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

Declares what it does: failed
No SKILL.md was found in the skill's directory.
SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.
No undeclared network calls: passed
Makes no network calls.
Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.
No obfuscated payloads: passed
No encoded or obfuscated payloads.
No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.
No credential access: passed
Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.
Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.
No pipe-to-shell installers: passed
No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.
No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.
Pinned to a commit: passed

About this skill

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to identify and execute privilege escalation techniques specifically targeting Windows operating systems. It assists in moving from standard user accounts to higher-level administrative access by leveraging system vulnerabilities and misconfigurations.

When to use it

During penetration testing engagements where initial access is limited to a low-privilege user account on a Windows target.
When auditing internal Windows environments to verify that privilege escalation vectors are properly mitigated or patched.
To automate the detection of common Windows-specific flaws such as unpatched services or weak token handling.

Key capabilities

Scans for known Windows privilege escalation vulnerabilities.
Analyzes system configurations for misconfigurations allowing elevation.
Executes specific payloads to gain administrative rights on compromised hosts.

Example prompts

"Scan this Windows environment for available privilege escalation paths starting from a standard user context."
"Identify unpatched services that could be exploited to escalate privileges on this target machine."
"Generate a report on potential token manipulation techniques applicable to the current Windows version detected."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure you have explicit authorization before running escalation checks, as these actions can modify system integrity or trigger security alerts. The skill relies on accurate OS detection; false positives may occur if the target environment differs from expected configurations.
