It adds skills, hooks, and extension/plugin files that affect future agent sessions. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-23T09:39:04.394Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-23T09:39:39.480Z - **Download time:** 765 ms - **Static scan time:** 164 ms - **AI review time:** 34156 ms - **Total time:** 35086 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** npm install automatically detects coding agents and installs SPARK into their project-scoped control directories without a confirmation prompt in non-interactive environments. It adds skills, hooks, and extension/plugin files that affect future agent sessions. - **Trigger:** npm install - **Impact:** Unconsented modification of broad AI-agent control surfaces and injected session context. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/spark-install.sh, hooks/session-start, hooks/session-start-codex, .opencode/plugins/spark.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-23T09:39:39.480Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** install-time multi-agent config and hook mutation - **Attack narrative:** The install lifecycle invokes the installer with no user-selected target. In non-TTY/CI execution it detects installed agent platforms and automatically links or copies SPARK skills, hooks, and plugin files into their project control directories; installed hooks inject SPARK instructions at session start. - **Rationale:** This is a concrete unconsented npm install-time mutation of multiple foreign AI-agent control surfaces, which meets the block policy. No separate exfiltration chain is needed for this verdict. - **Files touched:** bin/spark-install.sh, hooks/session-start, hooks/session-start-codex, .claude/skills, .codex/skills, .cursor/skills, .opencode/plugins/spark.js, .pi/extensions/spark.ts, .gitignore ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs bin/spark-install.sh as npm install lifecycle., bin/spark-install.sh auto-selects detected agents in non-TTY/CI., Installer creates/symlinks skills, hooks, plugins, and manifests in multiple agent config paths., Session-start hooks inject bundled skill instructions into agent context. - **Evidence against:** No credential harvesting or exfiltration found., Network use is limited to npm version checking and an authenticated local companion server. ## Public findings ### 1.
