Airbnb Scraper API - Stay Search, Listing Detail, Reviews

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed Scavio API guide for Airbnb search, listing, and review data, with expected use of an API key and outbound API calls.

Before installing, understand that this skill sends Airbnb search terms, listing IDs, dates, guest counts, and similar request parameters to Scavio and consumes paid credits. Review and host data can include personal information, so use the skill for travel or market research summaries rather than profiling individuals.

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
