SocQ Pinterest Research

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed SocQ integration for researching public Pinterest data, with expected external API use and manageable supply-chain and billing cautions.

Install only if you intend to send Pinterest research queries and the resulting task data to SocQ using a SOCQ_API_KEY. Consider pinning or preinstalling a reviewed @socq/cli version instead of relying on latest npx resolution, and review expected credits before approving large or multi-endpoint 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

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.

Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
The skill instructs fallback execution via `npx @socq/cli`, which resolves the latest package version unless a version is pinned. That creates a supply-chain risk: a compromised, malicious, or breaking upstream release could be fetched and executed at runtime in the agent environment.
