Amazon Product Data API - Search, ASIN Lookup, Offers

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed Scavio Amazon product-data integration that sends Amazon search or ASIN requests to Scavio using a user-provided API key.

Install this if you are comfortable sending Amazon search terms or ASINs, plus your Scavio API key for authorization, to Scavio. Watch credit usage before pagination or bulk lookups, and keep the API key in an environment variable or secret store rather than source code.

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
