## Verdict summary
**Soft block: AI-agent control surface** — Warn by default; block when configured. Unconsented modification of a broad AI-agent skill directory in the consuming project; no exfiltration or remote payload behavior observed.

- **Verdict:** AI-agent control-surface policy finding
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn by default; block when configured
- **Firewall policy:** Warn by default
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Soft block: AI-agent control surface
- **Selected version:** 1.0.2
- **Selected version is latest:** Yes
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This finding concerns changes to an AI agent's instructions or configuration without explicit user action. It does not by itself establish malware intent. The CLI warns by default and blocks when configured for this policy.

AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

Source inspection confirms unconsented postinstall mutation of a project-level OpenCode skill directory, which matches the firewall block policy for broad AI-agent control-surface writes. No network exfiltration or remote code execution was found, but the install-time agent configuration mutation is sufficient for block. Product guard normalized a concrete AI-agent control hijack publish\_block to the blockable dangerous-capability shape.

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:** The package has an install-time AI-agent control-surface write. npm install executes a postinstall script that installs package-supplied OpenCode skills into the consuming project.

- **Trigger:** npm install or any lifecycle-running package installation

- **Impact:** Unconsented modification of a broad AI-agent skill directory in the consuming project; no exfiltration or remote payload behavior observed.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, skills/postinstall.js, skills/coding-code-reviewer.md, skills/coding-refactoring-advisor.md, lib/codebase-analyzer.js, mcp-tools.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-07-06T02:09:38.109Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** postinstall creates .opencode/skills and symlinks or copies markdown skill files

- **Attack narrative:** On installation, npm runs skills/postinstall.js. That script uses process.cwd() as the project root, creates .opencode/skills, then symlinks or copies each markdown skill from the package into that agent skill directory with a coding-support prefix. This is not merely package-owned runtime code; it mutates an AI-agent control surface in the consuming project during install.

- **Rationale:** Source inspection confirms unconsented postinstall mutation of a project-level OpenCode skill directory, which matches the firewall block policy for broad AI-agent control-surface writes. No network exfiltration or remote code execution was found, but the install-time agent configuration mutation is sufficient for block. Product guard normalized a concrete AI-agent control hijack publish\_block to the blockable dangerous-capability shape.

- **Files touched:** package.json, skills/postinstall.js, .opencode/skills/coding-support-coding-code-reviewer.md, .opencode/skills/coding-support-coding-refactoring-advisor.md

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 93.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for policy risk:** package.json defines postinstall: node skills/postinstall.js., skills/postinstall.js runs at install time and creates .opencode/skills under process.cwd()., postinstall links or copies package markdown skill files into the project AI-agent skill directory without an explicit user command., Dropped skills instruct AI code review/refactoring behavior, making this an AI-agent control-surface mutation.

- **Evidence against:** No network APIs, HTTP endpoints, or credential harvesting found in reviewed files., No child\_process, eval/vm/Function, native binary loading, destructive deletion, or persistence beyond dropped .opencode skill files., Runtime library lib/codebase-analyzer.js is aligned with advertised code analysis features and reads user-selected files/globs.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @andy-toolforge/coding-support@1.0.2.

- Avoid installing @andy-toolforge/coding-support@1.0.2. 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. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@andy-toolforge/coding-support@1.0.2/package.json>)

Package defines install-time lifecycle scripts.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```json
scripts.postinstall = node skills/postinstall.js
```

### 2. Medium: Ambiguous Install Lifecycle Script
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 75.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@andy-toolforge/coding-support@1.0.2/package.json>)

Install-time lifecycle script is not statically allowlisted and needs review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```json
scripts.postinstall = node skills/postinstall.js
```

### 3. Low: Scripts Present
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

Package declares npm scripts.

### 4. Low: Filesystem
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 70.0%

Package source references filesystem APIs.

### 5. Critical: Ai Agent Control Hijack
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** skills/postinstall.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@andy-toolforge/coding-support@1.0.2/skills/postinstall.js>)

Install-time source drops package-supplied AI-agent/MCP control files or instructions.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

````javascript
Install-time AI-agent control hijack evidence:
L5: const projectRoot = process.cwd();
L6: const targetDir = path.join(projectRoot, '.opencode', 'skills');
L7: const sourceDir = path.join(__dirname);
L8: 
L9: fs.mkdirSync(targetDir, { recursive: true });
L10: 
...
L21: // Fallback: copy if symlink fails
L22: fs.copyFileSync(src, dest);
L23: console.log(`  📄 Copied ${destName}`);
Payload evidence from AGENTS.md:
L14: codebase-analyzer.md
L15: package.json         — deps: @andy-toolforge/core, fast-glob
L16: ```
````

### 6. Low: High Entropy Strings
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 55.0%

Package source contains high-entropy string patterns.

### 7. Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review
- **Category:** Artifact Inventory
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean.

### 8. Low: No License
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 80.0%

Package manifest does not declare a clear license.
