SocQ Truth Social Research

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a coherent SocQ integration for researching public Truth Social data, with disclosed API-key use and external SocQ requests.

Before installing, confirm you trust SocQ with your SOCQ_API_KEY and any public research queries you submit. For better supply-chain control, use an installed or pinned version of @socq/cli instead of relying on npx to fetch the latest package at runtime, and set credit limits or require confirmation for larger paid 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

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 explicitly instructs fallback execution via npx @socq/cli without a pinned version, which introduces a real supply-chain risk: execution may fetch the latest package version at runtime, and a compromised or malicious upstream release could run arbitrary code in the agent environment. This is more dangerous here because the skill also relies on a sensitive environment variable (SOCQ_API_KEY), which such code could access or exfiltrate.
