Hotel Pricer

• Outcome: Review
• Latest audit: Sep 10, 2026 · 8:05 PM UTC
• Version: 1.1.1

Overview

The skill is a coherent hotel-search CLI, but it under-discloses and weakly protects Amadeus API secrets and cached OAuth tokens.

Review this skill before installing. It appears intended to search hotels through Amadeus rather than steal data, but you should avoid entering real secrets as command-line arguments, prefer a user-local install path over sudo, inspect or restrict permissions on ~/.config/hotel-pricer/config.yaml, and rotate Amadeus credentials if they may have been exposed through shell history or plaintext config backups.

Vulnerability Patterns

• Insecure Skill Coding Practices: Finds exploitable flaws such as hardcoded secrets or command injection
• Skill Instruction Hijacking: Alters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
• Agent Memory Poisoning: Writes attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
• Remote Payload Retrieval and Execution: Fetches external code whose behavior can change after review
• Embedded Malicious Code: Ships malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally

Credential Access

High

• Category: Privilege Escalation
• Confidence: 70% confidence

Finding

Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.

Sudo/Root Execution

Medium

• Category: Privilege Escalation
• Confidence: 70% confidence

Finding

Commands invoke sudo or root privileges. Verify this elevated access is necessary and justified.

3.  **Move the binary to your PATH:**
    ```bash
    sudo mv hotel-pricer /usr/local/bin/
    ```

## Configuration

Sudo/Root Execution

Medium

• Category: Privilege Escalation
• Confidence: 83% confidence

Finding

The installation instructions tell the user to run sudo mv hotel-pricer /usr/local/bin/, which requires elevated privileges and normalizes root-assisted manual installation of an unverified compiled binary. While moving a binary into a system path is common, encouraging sudo in skill documentation increases the blast radius of mistakes or a compromised build artifact because the action is performed with administrative privileges.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

• Category: Not specified by scanner
• Confidence: 90% confidence

Finding

The documentation instructs users to set an API key and secret but does not warn about secure handling, storage location, shell history exposure, or least-privilege treatment of those credentials. In a skill that manages third-party API secrets, omission of credential-safety guidance increases the chance that users will expose secrets in terminal history, logs, screenshots, or insecure local config files.
