SocQ Tiktok Ad Library Research

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed SocQ integration for public TikTok Ad Library research, with expected external API use and manageable supply-chain and billing cautions.

Before installing, confirm you trust SocQ with your API key and submitted research queries, consider using an installed or version-pinned @socq/cli instead of ad hoc npx, and review credit usage before approving large or multi-endpoint runs.

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
Vulnerability Patterns
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep

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.

Finding

The skill instructs fallback execution via npx @socq/cli without a pinned version, which can cause the environment to fetch and run the latest published package. If the upstream package is compromised, typosquatted, or introduces a breaking/malicious change, an agent could execute unreviewed code with access to environment secrets such as SOCQ_API_KEY.
