travel-planning

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This travel-planning skill is a plain Markdown guide that asks for trip details and uses current travel research to build itineraries.

Before installing, expect the skill to ask personal trip-planning questions such as dates, budget, travelers, interests, dietary needs, and accessibility needs, and to use web or places/map research for current travel information. Review broad travel mentions if your agent auto-invokes skills aggressively, since phrases like "trip to" may be interpreted as a planning request.

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
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger

Finding

The trigger list includes broad phrases such as "trip to" and "visit [destination]" that can match ordinary conversation rather than a clear request to invoke a travel-planning skill. This can cause over-triggering, where the skill activates in contexts the user did not intend, potentially leading to irrelevant tool use, unnecessary data collection through follow-up questions, or interference with other more appropriate skills.
