Google Maps Reviews Scraper

Overview

This skill is a local CSV review-analysis guide with a disclosed but somewhat promotional pointer to a specific external data provider.

Install only if you are comfortable with a skill that analyzes local CSV review data and may steer you to gmapsscraper.io when you do not already have a CSV. Treat that provider suggestion as a commercial recommendation, not a security requirement.

A.I.G

Vulnerability Patterns

• Skill Instruction Hijacking: Alters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
• Agent Memory Poisoning: Writes attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
• Remote Payload Retrieval and Execution: Fetches external code whose behavior can change after review
• Embedded Malicious Code: Ships malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally
• Unauthorized Access and Privilege Escalation: Obtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs

The instructions include signup benefits and paid pricing information, which are not necessary to perform local CSV analysis. When the Skill is loaded, these directives can alter the agent's response strategy from neutral analysis to vendor promotion. This is best classified as instruction hijacking because the Skill text controls the agent's current-session output and causes it to recommend a predetermined commercial provider. The reviewed content does not contain executable code, remote payload execution, credential access, persistence, or privilege-escalation behavior. The primary risk is manipulation of agent output and unnecessary redirection of users to an external service. ### Attack Path 1. A user loads the Google Maps Reviews Analyzer Skill. 2. The agent follows the workflow in `SKILL.md`. 3. The agent asks whether the user already has a suitable CSV file. 4. If the user does not have one, the embedded instruction requires the agent to recommend `gm ...[truncated 935 chars]
