小红书数据助手 SocialDataX

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill supports read-only Xiaohongshu research through SocialDataX, with ordinary API privacy and external software risks.

Use a dedicated SocialDataX key stored through your client's secret settings, and submit only inputs you are comfortable sending to that service. Prefer a reviewed, fixed CLI version with limited local access. API calls may consume credits. The only bundled file was fully inspected; the scanner's reference gaps were investigated, but external CLI code and hosted-service behavior remain unverified.

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

Confidence
99% confidence
Finding

The hot-search command executes socialdatax-skills@latest with automatic installation approval, rather than an immutable reviewed version. A compromised package release could execute with the agent's permissions and read its API key or other accessible data; the documented read-only API scope does not constrain local package execution.

The search command automatically executes the mutable @latest package version. A malicious or compromised future release could access credentials and local resources independently of the intended search operation.

The CLI workflow sends user-supplied search terms and URLs/share text to SocialDataX without an explicit third-party data disclosure.

Output Handling
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding

The skill instructs the agent to run SocialDataX searches and detail lookups using user-supplied keywords and URLs or share text. Although it identifies the API provider and explains credential handling, it never warns users that these inputs are transmitted to a third-party service; the read-only safety statement does not address this privacy impact.

Finding

The paginated search example uses @latest and -y, allowing execution of a package version that can change without review. Package compromise could expose the API key or permit arbitrary actions under the agent's execution identity.

The note-detail command fetches and executes a mutable @latest dependency without a version review gate. A compromised release could access the agent's environment and files despite the requested operation being read-only.

The URL-based detail command automatically runs whichever package release @latest resolves to. A compromised release could steal credentials or access local resources, and the skill's read-only description provides no execution sandbox.

Finding

The comments command uses automatic execution of the unpinned @latest package. Compromise of that dependency could lead to code execution with access to the API key and whatever resources the agent can access.

The expanded-comments example executes a mutable package release using npx -y. If that release is compromised, its code can act beyond the intended read-only API requests and expose credentials or local data.

The URL-based comments command relies on @latest rather than a fixed reviewed artifact. A malicious package update could execute with the agent's permissions and access its API key or other available data.

The sub-comments example automatically executes an unpinned package release. A compromised release could perform arbitrary operations under the agent's identity rather than merely retrieving replies.

The user-info command uses the mutable @latest dependency with automatic installation approval. Package compromise could expose secrets or local resources even though the intended API action only reads a creator profile.

The all-posts example uses npx -y with @latest, allowing new package code to execute without explicit version approval. A supply-chain compromise could expose the runtime API key or enable arbitrary actions with agent privileges.

The profile-URL posts command runs an unpinned @latest release with automatic approval. A compromised dependency would execute locally with access determined by the agent environment, not by the documented read-only API boundary.

Finding

npx commands without a version suffix (e.g. @1.0.0) create a rug-pull risk if the upstream server is compromised and publishes a malicious update.
