Travel Festival Event Strategist

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a low-risk descriptive travel-planning helper with no evidence of hidden access, persistence, network use, or data mutation.

Safe to install if you want a descriptive festival/event travel planning helper. Treat its recommendations as planning heuristics only and verify dates, tickets, prices, weather, safety advisories, and booking details with official sources before acting.

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
  • MCP Least PrivilegeUnderdeclared Capability, Wildcard Permission, Missing Permission Declaration
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access

Finding

Without declared permissions the skill's intent is opaque and cannot be validated.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding

The trigger phrases are broad enough to match ordinary travel-planning requests, which can cause the skill to activate outside its intended scope. Over-broad activation increases the chance of prompt-routing hijack, unintended data exposure to the skill context, or the model applying festival-specific heuristics when the user did not request them.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
87% confidence
Finding

The example prompts use generic wording like 'help me' and 'provide framework,' which overlaps with many non-specialized travel requests. This can make auto-selection or invocation ambiguous, causing the skill to over-trigger and potentially override more appropriate skills or inject irrelevant guidance into unrelated workflows.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
71% confidence
Finding

The manifest sets language: en, but later sections include Chinese-language usage scenarios, creating ambiguity about whether the skill is intended to operate only in English or supports other languages. This can conflict with language/locale policy expectations unless multilingual behavior is explicitly offered as a user choice or clearly documented.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The manifest sets the skill language to "en" with no indication that users can opt into other languages or that the restriction is required for a region-specific purpose. This is a natural-language policy concern because it imposes a locale choice unilaterally in the skill configuration.
