SocQ Linkedin Ad Library Research

• Outcome: Pass
• Latest audit: Oct 16, 2026 · 2:12 AM UTC
• Version: 1.0.4

Overview

This skill transparently connects to SocQ to research public LinkedIn Ad Library data and does not show hidden or purpose-mismatched behavior.

Before installing, confirm you trust SocQ with the ad-library queries and task metadata you submit, set spending limits on the API key where possible, and prefer a preinstalled or pinned `@socq/cli` version instead of ad hoc `npx` execution if your environment has stricter supply-chain requirements.

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

Findings (4)

Rp1

Medium

• Category: MCP Rug Pull
• Confidence: 94% confidence

Finding

The skill allows use of npx to obtain tooling at runtime without pinning a specific version, which creates a supply-chain risk. If a malicious or compromised package version is published, an agent could install and execute unexpected code when following the skill instructions.

Rp1

Medium

• Category: MCP Rug Pull
• Confidence: 98% confidence

Finding

The instruction npx @socq/cli fetches and executes the latest package version at runtime, which is a classic unpinned dependency execution risk. In an agent setting, this is especially dangerous because it can lead to automatic execution of attacker-controlled code if the upstream package or dependency chain is compromised.
