Aerobase Travel

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward Aerobase travel API guide for jetlag-aware flight search, with disclosed external API calls and no hidden persistence or local system changes.

Before installing, confirm you trust Aerobase and are comfortable sending flight routes, dates, times, and search preferences to its API. Treat AEROBASE_API_KEY as a secret and avoid sharing terminal logs or command snippets that include it.

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
