Mapbox Search Patterns

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a documentation-only Mapbox search guide with location-related guidance that fits its stated purpose.

Before installing, be aware that the skill helps agents use Mapbox search tools and may guide them to pass user-provided location or coordinates to those tools for local results. Confirm your Mapbox token scope and privacy expectations separately, but this artifact does not add hidden code, persistence, or credential handling.

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
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep

Finding

The document states 'Default: English (if not specified)', which imposes a specific language choice rather than requiring or prompting for the user's language preference. This is a natural-language locale policy concern because the skill behavior defaults to one language instead of making locale selection explicit.
