SocQ Bluesky Research

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill’s SocQ Bluesky research behavior is mostly coherent, but its fallback CLI path can fetch and run an unpinned external package, which deserves review before installation.

Install only if you are comfortable sending public Bluesky research requests and a SocQ API authorization token to SocQ. Prefer a preinstalled or version-pinned `socq` CLI over `npx @socq/cli`, and set spending limits or require confirmation before large paid collection jobs.

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

Finding

The skill permits use of npx and installs @socq/cli without a pinned version, which allows whatever package version is current at execution time to be fetched and run. This creates a supply-chain risk: a compromised upstream package, malicious update, or unexpected breaking change could lead to arbitrary code execution in the agent environment.

Finding

The instruction to use npx @socq/cli fetches and executes the latest available package version at runtime unless an exact version is specified. In an agent setting, that exposes execution to upstream package compromise or unexpected code changes, making this a real supply-chain vulnerability.
