Sephora Product Data API - Search, Shades, Prices, Reviews Summary

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

ClawScan’s verdict is benign with medium confidence: the findings describe product search requests sent to Scavio, but one notes that this third-party data sharing is not explicitly disclosed, and the scan was partial.

Before installing, consider that search queries and possibly a ZIP code may be transmitted to Scavio, a third-party service. The scan was partial: the manifest could not be parsed and the file was only partially inspected, so the benign verdict is not a guarantee of safety.

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
  • Output HandlingUnvalidated Output Injection, Cross-Context Output, Unbounded Output
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code
Findings (4)

The search workflow sends user-derived queries to Scavio without an explicit third-party data-sharing warning.

Finding

The workflow instructs the agent to submit search queries and product selections to Scavio's API rather than directly to Sephora. Although the provider and API address are documented, the skill does not warn users that their search information—and a ZIP code if supplied—will be transmitted to this third-party service.
