Real Estate

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed Camino API helper for real-estate location lookups, with privacy and install-hygiene caveats users should understand before using it.

Install from a reviewed, pinned source when possible. Use this skill only if you are comfortable sending the address or coordinates you evaluate, the search radius, and your CAMINO_API_KEY to Camino's API. Avoid putting highly sensitive home-location searches through the service unless Camino's data handling terms are acceptable to you.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Insecure DependenciesIntroduces malicious components through unsafe dependency sources
  • 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

Agent Config Directory Access

High
Category
Agent Snooping
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding

Skill reads from agent configuration directories (.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/). These directories may contain API keys, personal settings, and other credentials that the skill has no legitimate need to access.

Undeclared Tool Scope

Medium
Category
MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding

The skill explicitly relies on shell execution (curl, jq, and a shell script) but does not declare a restrictive tool scope such as permissions or allowed-tools. That creates unnecessary ambiguity about what commands the agent may run and weakens least-privilege controls, increasing the chance of unintended command execution in environments that honor skill metadata.

Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The installation command uses npx skills add against a remote GitHub source without pinning a specific immutable version, tag, or commit. This creates a supply-chain risk: future upstream changes or repository compromise could cause users to install different code than expected.

This second npx skills add example also pulls from a mutable GitHub repository without pinning. Users following the documentation may unknowingly install altered code if the repository changes or is compromised.

Confidence

Finding

npx clawhub@latest install camino-real-estate uses the latest tag, which is inherently mutable and can resolve to unexpected code over time. If the package or dependency chain is compromised, users may execute attacker-controlled install logic.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
92% confidence
Finding

The skill processes sensitive user-supplied addresses and coordinates and sends them to a third-party API, but the description does not clearly warn users about that data transfer. This is a privacy and consent issue because precise location data can be sensitive and users may not realize it leaves the local environment.

Content

External Transmission

Medium
Category
Data Exfiltration
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding

The skill uses curl to transmit user-provided address/location data and an API key to an external service. External transmission is intrinsic to the skill's purpose, but it still presents a real security/privacy boundary because sensitive location data and credentials leave the local environment.

### Via curl

# Step 1: Geocode the address

External Transmission

Medium
Category
Data Exfiltration
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding

This endpoint call sends geocoding queries containing a precise address to api.getcamino.ai. Even though this is expected functionality, it is still a genuine external data transfer risk because home addresses can be highly sensitive and may be logged or retained by the third party.

Content

Scanner excerpt · SKILL.md (reported line 70)May include surrounding context.

bash
# Step 1: Geocode the address
curl -H "X-API-Key: $CAMINO_API_KEY" \
  "https://api.getcamino.ai/query?query=742+Evergreen+Terrace+Springfield&limit=1"

# Step 2: Get context with real estate focus
curl -X POST -H "X-API-Key: $CAMINO_API_KEY" \

External Transmission

Medium
Category
Data Exfiltration
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding

The context request transmits precise coordinates and real-estate-related context to a third-party service, expanding the sensitivity of the shared data. In a real-estate evaluation skill, this is contextually expected, but it remains a meaningful privacy exposure because it can reveal where a user lives, works, or is considering moving.

## Parameters

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding

The script sends the user's address to a remote geocoding API and later sends location and radius data to a remote context API. While the code validates inputs and checks for an API key, it does not provide any user-facing warning, prompt, or comment disclosing that user location data will be transmitted off-box.

Missing User Warnings

Confidence
76% confidence
Finding

The script reads CAMINO_API_KEY from the environment and uses it in HTTP headers for outbound API requests. Although missing-key handling exists, there is no user-facing notice in the script that this credential will be used to authenticate remote requests.
