SocQ Snapchat Research

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a coherent SocQ integration for collecting public Snapchat data, with disclosed external API use and credential requirements, though users should treat the unpinned npx CLI fallback as a supply-chain caution.

Before installing, confirm you trust SocQ with the public Snapchat inputs you submit and with the SOCQ_API_KEY used for authentication. For tighter control, install a known @socq/cli version instead of relying on npx latest, use API-key limits such as rate, credit, and IP restrictions, and approve large paid runs only after reviewing the expected cost.

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

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 use of npx @socq/cli without a pinned version, which can cause execution of the latest published package at runtime. This creates a supply-chain risk: if the package is compromised, typosquatted, or a malicious version is published, an agent could fetch and run attacker-controlled code in an environment that also contains SOCQ_API_KEY.
