Findings

  • Published by the vendor Trust offset
    Contribution to score: -40
  • 2 high-risk capabilities: filesystem:write, shell:execute Critical
    Contribution to score: +20
  • Persistence + execution risk (medium) Medium
    Evidence
    Shell execution plus filesystem write means the agent can plant persistent backdoors (e.g. modifying startup scripts).
    Contribution to score: +5

Capabilities

Every capability the entry declares, with the security implication of each.

  • filesystem:read Filesystem read
    Can read files on the host system. Used for context, indexing, or analysis.
  • filesystem:write Filesystem write
    Can create, edit, or delete files on the host system. High-impact capability — anything from helpful edits to planting persistence.
  • shell:execute Shell execution
    Can run arbitrary shell commands. Combined with network access this becomes effectively a remote shell.

Dangerous combinations matched

Capability pairings that compound into well-known attack patterns.

  • Persistence + execution risk medium
    Shell execution plus filesystem write means the agent can plant persistent backdoors (e.g. modifying startup scripts).
