SocQ Douyin Research

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill coherently helps agents use SocQ to collect public Douyin research data, with disclosed external API use, API-key handling, billing checks, and no hidden persistence or destructive behavior found.

Install only if you intend to use SocQ for public Douyin research and are comfortable sending the requested Douyin inputs and results through SocQ using your SOCQ_API_KEY. Prefer a pinned or otherwise trusted SocQ CLI installation, set billing or rate limits on the API key, confirm large paid runs before execution, and use the collected public data in line with platform rules and privacy expectations.

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

Confidence
70% confidence
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.

Finding

Using npx @socq/cli without a pinned version allows resolution of the latest published package at execution time. If the upstream package is compromised, typosquatted, or updated with breaking or malicious behavior, an agent could execute unreviewed code in its environment.
