Turkey

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a Turkey travel-planning skill that keeps a scoped local trip-memory file and does not show hidden execution, network access, or unrelated data use.

Before installing, understand that the skill may save trip preferences and constraints locally in ~/turkey/memory.md. Avoid storing highly sensitive personal details there unless needed, and review or delete that file if you no longer want the trip context retained.

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
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep
  • 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
Findings (5)

Autonomous Decision Making

Medium
Category
Excessive Agency
Confidence
75% confidence
Finding

Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.

Missing User Warnings

Confidence
92% confidence
Finding

The template explicitly instructs creating a persistent local memory file containing travel dates, airports, traveler details, mobility notes, budget, preferences, and entry-status information without any consent, retention, or sensitivity warning. While not overtly malicious, this encourages storage of personal itinerary and preference data in a durable location, increasing privacy risk if the host, agent, or other tools later access or reuse that file unexpectedly.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The skill explicitly creates a persistent directory and stores durable trip details in ~/turkey/memory.md without any mention of user consent, retention limits, or visibility into what is being saved. Even if the data is not highly sensitive by itself, travel dates, airports, mobility needs, and related preferences can expose behavioral patterns and create privacy risk if retained or accessed unexpectedly.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
81% confidence
Finding

The heading explicitly constrains the content to Turkey, which is a locale-specific choice presented without any indication of user selection or opt-in. Under the stated policy, forcing a specific geography or locale in natural-language skill content can be a locale policy violation unless it is clearly documented as region-specific or user-chosen.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
84% confidence
Finding

The title explicitly constrains the content to a single country locale: 'Turkey'. Under the policy, locale constraints should either be user-selected or clearly justified as region-specific; this file does not state that limitation as an opt-in or explain why the locale is mandatory.
