Nearby Budget Hotels

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a simple nearby budget-hotel lookup guide that asks for user-authorized location data and does not include executable code or hidden behavior.

Before installing, consider that the skill is meant to use your location to find nearby hotels. Only share precise coordinates when you intend to search, and prefer providers or clients that honor the skill's instruction to avoid retaining exact coordinates unnecessarily.

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
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Finding

The natural-language instructions are predominantly in Chinese while key trigger phrases and domain terms are in English, but the skill does not state that output language should follow user preference or allow locale selection. This can create a language-policy issue if the skill consistently responds in a fixed language without user opt-in.
