Airbnb Host Operations

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a plain-text Airbnb host operations guide whose requested property and contact details fit its stated purpose, though users should share only the details needed.

Install only if you are comfortable giving your agent rental operations details. Provide the minimum needed, avoid unnecessary personal contact details or secrets, and be careful about storing full addresses, vendor contacts, tax records, or booking data in shared workspaces.

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
  • 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

Finding

The setup instructions explicitly ask users to provide property addresses, listing URLs, cleaning team contact information, and permit/tax details, which are sensitive operational and location-linked data. The skill provides no privacy notice, data minimization guidance, or handling boundaries, increasing the risk of unnecessary collection, disclosure, or misuse of personally identifiable and security-relevant information.
