autonomad

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a disclosed travel-booking integration for Autonomad, with expected external API use and agent credentials but no hidden or destructive behavior in the inspected artifacts.

Install only if you intend to use Autonomad for travel search, agent registration, training, or booking. Protect AUTONOMAD_AGENT_CREDENTIAL and any wallet private key, prefer header/secret-manager injection over pasting credentials into chat or logs, and keep live booking or duty-loop behavior under explicit user control.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Skill Instruction HijackingAlters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
  • Agent Memory PoisoningWrites attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
  • Remote Payload Retrieval and ExecutionFetches external code whose behavior can change after review
  • Embedded Malicious CodeShips malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally
  • Unauthorized Access and Privilege EscalationObtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs
Vulnerability Patterns
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
92% confidence
Finding

The skill's trigger conditions are broad enough to activate for many generic travel-related requests, which can cause unnecessary routing into a third-party booking platform. This increases the chance that user travel queries, preferences, or booking actions are handled by an external service when the user may only want general advice or comparison shopping.

Missing User Warnings

Confidence
90% confidence
Finding

The example instructs users to export and retain an agent credential in shell environment variables without any warning about secrecy, lifetime, shell history, or cleanup. Credentials stored this way are easily exposed through shell history, process listings, logs, screenshots, or reused terminal sessions, which can enable unauthorized API access as the agent.

Missing User Warnings

Not specified by scanner
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding

The documentation repeatedly sends agent identifiers and credentials in HTTP headers but provides no warning about protecting these values from terminal logging, proxy logging, shell history, or shared environments. While the endpoint uses HTTPS, the main issue is operational leakage of bearer-like secrets during normal use, which could allow impersonation of the agent if captured.
