What the reviewer found
A hardware/embedded pentest playbook (UART/JTAG boot access, printer PJL path traversal). The U-Boot "printenv" dump, reading a device's /etc/shadow, and the "curl -sv http://<target>/" recon example are attacker techniques against a physical, authorized target, not something the skill does to the installer's machine.

How this review was made
Sonnet 5 read the files above on 7 September 2026 and answered three questions: is it dangerous to whoever installs it, is each scanner finding real, and what should the installer know. The verdict is bound to the file's hash; when the file changes, it is scanned afresh and reviewed again. A script that changes while the definition does not is not re-reviewed — that is a known gap. How the scan and the review work.
