AdKit for Meta Ads: Facebook and Instagram Campaigns, Ad Sets, Ads and Reporting

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The scanners rate this skill suspicious because they found a high-confidence concern that it may change advertising account defaults without the promised draft approval.

Before installing, consider whether you are comfortable with account defaults potentially being saved before you approve a draft. The finding names Page, pixel, or Instagram selections as possible defaults that can affect future ad identity or tracking; ask for explicit confirmation of the target account and proposed changes before they are saved.

Finding

The description promises that every change requires draft approval, but the workflow instructs the agent to persist account defaults immediately without explicitly obtaining approval for those changes. Selecting and saving a Page or pixel can therefore change future ad identity or tracking configuration without informed user consent, particularly when multiple assets are available. Later draft approvals and initially paused campaigns reduce immediate spending risk but do not authorize or undo these account-level changes.
