Seats Aero

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward seats.aero award-flight search guide, but users should treat the requested API key as sensitive.

Install only if you are comfortable providing a seats.aero API key to the agent for API calls. Prefer entering the key only when needed, avoid sharing keys with broad account privileges, and rotate the key if it may have been exposed in logs or transcripts.

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
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep

Finding

The skill explicitly tells the agent to collect a seats.aero API key and store it in conversation context for later reuse, but provides no guidance on secure secret handling, minimization, masking, or avoiding retention in logs/history. Conversation context is often accessible to other tools, later turns, or telemetry, so storing bearer credentials there increases the chance of unintended disclosure and misuse of the user's external account.
