SocQ Twitch Research

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill coherently connects an agent to SocQ's Twitch research service, with disclosed API-key use, external calls, billing controls, and public-data guardrails.

Before installing, confirm you trust SocQ and are comfortable sending Twitch research queries and your SocQ API key to SocQ's service. Prefer a preinstalled or pinned @socq/cli version over unpinned npx, and keep credit limits enabled for the API key because requests may consume paid credits.

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

The skill declares npx as an allowed execution path without pinning a specific package version, which can cause the agent to fetch and run whatever version is current at execution time. In an agentic environment, this introduces supply-chain risk and undermines reproducibility, especially because package updates could change behavior or introduce malicious code.

Confidence

Finding

The instruction to use npx @socq/cli executes a package from the registry without a pinned version, allowing silent upgrades or registry compromise to affect runtime behavior. Because this skill handles an API key and directs external API access, a compromised CLI could exfiltrate secrets or alter collected data.
