SocQ Facebook Ad Library Research

• Outcome: Review
• Latest audit: Sep 21, 2026 · 10:36 AM UTC
• Version: 1.0.4

Overview

This skill coherently connects an agent to SocQ to research public Facebook Ad Library data, with disclosed API-key use, external requests, billing guidance, and no hidden persistence or destructive behavior.

Install only if you intend to send Facebook Ad Library research queries and your SocQ API key to SocQ. Prefer the hosted MCP or a reviewed, pinned/preinstalled socq CLI where possible, set API-key credit/rate limits, and confirm costs before broad or repeated collections.

A.I.G

Vulnerability Patterns

• Skill Instruction Hijacking: Alters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
• Agent Memory Poisoning: Writes attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
• Remote Payload Retrieval and Execution: Fetches external code whose behavior can change after review
• Embedded Malicious Code: Ships malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally
• Unauthorized Access and Privilege Escalation: Obtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs

Vulnerability Patterns

• Data Exfiltration: External Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
• Prompt Injection: Instruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
• Privilege Escalation: Excessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
• Supply Chain: Unpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code
• Excessive Agency: Unrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep

Findings (4)

Rp1

Medium

• Category: MCP Rug Pull
• Confidence: 94% confidence
• Finding: The skill permits execution via `npx` without pinning an exact package version, which creates a supply-chain risk: a future malicious or compromised release of `@socq/cli` could be fetched and executed at runtime. In an agent context, this is more dangerous because the skill explicitly encourages automated tool installation/execution, increasing the chance of unattended execution of unreviewed code.

Rp1

Medium

• Category: MCP Rug Pull
• Confidence: 97% confidence
• Finding: The instruction `npx @socq/cli` downloads and runs the latest published package version, exposing users to package takeover, malicious updates, or dependency compromise. Because this skill also handles an API credential (`SOCQ_API_KEY`), execution of an unpinned package could lead to credential theft or unauthorized external actions.

External Transmission

• Confidence: 50% confidence
• Finding: Data is being sent to an external URL. This could be legitimate telemetry or data exfiltration. Manual review is recommended.
