Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. A global npm install automatically changes third-party AI-agent configuration and installs an opencode plugin. Those changes cause future agent events to execute the package command. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-06T05:42:43.367Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-06T05:43:34.607Z - **Download time:** 760 ms - **Static scan time:** 363 ms - **AI review time:** 50116 ms - **Total time:** 51240 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

Those changes cause future agent events to execute the package command. - **Trigger:** Installing the package globally through npm without CREW\_NO\_HOOK=1. - **Impact:** Future Claude Code, Codex, and opencode sessions execute crew --hook and expose their session context to this package. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/postinstall.js, dist/settings.js, dist/opencode.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-06T05:43:34.607Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Postinstall writes Claude and Codex hooks and an opencode global plugin. - **Attack narrative:** The npm postinstall runs automatically for global installs and iterates over three unrelated AI-agent products. It modifies Claude and Codex user hook files for SessionStart, UserPromptSubmit, PostToolUse, and Stop, and writes a global opencode plugin. This establishes persistent execution in future agent sessions without requiring an explicit setup command. - **Rationale:** This is an automatic postinstall mutation of broad, foreign AI-agent control surfaces. The global-only guard and opt-out do not make the install action consensual. - **Files touched:** ~/.claude/settings.json, ~/.codex/hooks.json, ~/.config/opencode/plugins/crew.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The manifest runs a postinstall script automatically., On global installation, the script installs hooks for Claude Code, Codex, and opencode., The installer writes command hooks into Claude and Codex user configuration for four agent events., It also creates a global opencode plugin that invokes the package hook. - **Evidence against:** The automatic path is limited to global npm installs and has an environment-variable opt-out., No network requests, credential transmission, or remote payload download were found in the inspected runtime files. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @0xmmo/crew@0.3.1. - Avoid installing @0xmmo/crew@0.3.1. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
