Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The package ships a postinstall-style script that would remotely install agent skills through npx, but that script is not registered as an npm lifecycle hook and is not called by the CLI. Because the remote-execution payload is present yet inactive, this is an inert carrier rather than a confirmed install attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 78.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-26T04:39:40.067Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-26T04:40:56.687Z - **Download time:** 1040 ms - **Static scan time:** 3420 ms - **AI review time:** 72159 ms - **Total time:** 76620 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** A published installer would run npx to add two remote GitHub skills, but nothing in this release invokes that file during install or CLI startup. The risk is an inert remote-execution carrier, not an active install hook. - **Trigger:** The script would run only if a later release or a person explicitly executes scripts/postinstall.js. Current npm install and the agentx bin do not call it. - **Impact:** If activated, it could install third-party agent skills and execute their installers on the machine. As shipped, install and normal CLI use do not reach that code. - **Evidence paths:** scripts/postinstall.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-26T04:40:56.687Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** tryInstallSkill passes repository URLs into execSync as npx skills add arguments, which would fetch and execute those skill packages if the script were started. - **Rationale:** The package ships a postinstall-style script that would remotely install agent skills through npx, but that script is not registered as an npm lifecycle hook and is not called by the CLI. Because the remote-execution payload is present yet inactive, this is an inert carrier rather than a confirmed install attack. - **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/sohailkhan0525/skills, https://github.com/nextlevelbuilder/ui-ux-pro-max-skill ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 78.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** scripts/postinstall.js shells out with execSync to npx skills add, which would download and run remote skill installers., That installer targets two GitHub skill repositories, including a third-party repository., The script is published in the package files list, but package.json defines no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook, and dist/index.js never calls it. - **Evidence against:** npm install does not execute scripts/postinstall.js because no lifecycle script references it., The published CLI entry only renders a terminal UI; its message handler is an empty function and does not spawn processes or send credentials., No credential harvesting, exfiltration, or self-dependency install chain appears in the active entrypoint. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @agent-qofeno/agentx-cli@2.0.6. - Review the evidence and your use of @agent-qofeno/agentx-cli@2.0.6 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
