SocQ Snapchat Research

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a clearly disclosed SocQ integration for collecting public Snapchat data, with normal API-key and external-service use for that purpose.

Install this only if you intend to use SocQ for public Snapchat research and are comfortable sending the requested Snapchat identifiers plus your SocQ API-authenticated requests to SocQ. Consider using a pinned or preinstalled SocQ CLI instead of ad hoc `npx`, and set credit limits or confirm costs before large paid runs.

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 explicitly instructs agents to use `npx @socq/cli` without a pinned version, which can fetch whatever package version is current at execution time. That creates a supply-chain risk: a compromised upstream release, typo/confusion attack, or breaking update could cause arbitrary code execution in the agent environment or alter research behavior unexpectedly.
