SocQ TikTok Research

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed SocQ integration for collecting public TikTok research data, with clear credential, billing, and scope guardrails.

Install this only if you intend to send public TikTok research queries and your SocQ API key to SocQ's hosted service and potentially spend SocQ credits. For stricter environments, prefer a vetted or pinned @socq/cli version and set API key spending, rate, and IP limits before running large 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.

MCP Rug Pull
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding
The skill instructs fallback execution via `npx @socq/cli` without pinning a specific version. That can cause the latest package version to be fetched and executed at runtime, creating supply-chain risk and making behavior non-reproducible if the package is compromised or a breaking release is published.
