Glassdoor Salary Data API - Employer Profiles, Salaries, Reviews

• Outcome: Review
• Latest audit: Oct 30, 2026 · 11:51 AM UTC
• Version: 1.0.5

Overview

The skill provides a clearly disclosed Glassdoor lookup workflow through Scavio, with proportionate API access and no hidden persistence.

Scavio receives your searches and uses your API key for authentication. Store the key outside source code and set a query budget. Check the [provider documentation](https://scavio.dev/docs/glassdoor-companies) for current charges, since its company-search credit cost differs from the skill's stated cost.

A.I.G

Vulnerability Patterns

• Skill Instruction Hijacking: Alters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
• Agent Memory Poisoning: Writes attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
• Remote Payload Retrieval and Execution: Fetches external code whose behavior can change after review
• Embedded Malicious Code: Ships malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally
• Unauthorized Access and Privilege Escalation: Obtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs

Vulnerability Patterns

• Data Exfiltration: External Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
• MCP Tool Poisoning: Hidden Instructions, Unicode Deception, Parameter Description Injection
• Prompt Injection: Instruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
• Privilege Escalation: Excessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
• Supply Chain: Unpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Findings (5)

Description-Behavior Mismatch

High

• Category: MCP Tool Poisoning
• Confidence: 98% confidence

Finding

The supplied chunk only configures an API-key environment variable; it does not implement the declared primary functionality. Setting a credential is a plausible supporting detail, not itself an undeclared capability, but it does not substantiate the advertised behavior. No exfiltration or other unrelated activity is shown.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

External Transmission

Medium

• Category: Data Exfiltration
• Confidence: 70% confidence

Finding

Data is being sent to an external URL. This could be legitimate telemetry or data exfiltration. Manual review is recommended.
