The helper refuses main and master and does not push by default. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Malware - **Selected version:** 5.26.0 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. 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. The source establishes a deliberate bypass of the package's manual Git approval hook, with default staging of the working tree, so the package should be blocked. The credential alert resolves to the intended Anthropic usage endpoint. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 95.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-29T09:00:16.601Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-29T09:04:23.645Z - **Download time:** 1805 ms - **Static scan time:** 11862 ms - **AI review time:** 233374 ms - **Total time:** 247044 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:** The bundled development workflow explicitly routes commits around its own manual approval hook. The helper can stage all working-tree changes and create local commits without that hook's approval. - **Trigger:** A user invokes the bundled development workflow and a phase passes. - **Impact:** Changes can be committed without the hook's manual approval path. The helper refuses main and master and does not push by default. - **Evidence paths:** templates/skills/ba-develop/SKILL.md, templates/skills/ba-develop/references/commit-checkpoints.md, templates/hooks/git-guard.cjs, templates/skills/gitflow/cli/commit/execute.ts, templates/skills/gitflow/cli/lib/git.ts, dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-29T09:04:23.645Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The skill tells the agent to use a Git CLI that launches Git through a child process, which the Bash-only hook cannot inspect. - **Attack narrative:** The package includes a Git hook that blocks shell-issued writes pending manual approval, then directs its development agent workflow to commit through a child-process CLI specifically because the hook will not see that call. The helper stages all changes by default, so unrelated working-tree changes can enter local commits. The helper's branch restriction and no-push default limit the impact, but do not restore the bypassed approval. - **Rationale:** The source establishes a deliberate bypass of the package's manual Git approval hook, with default staging of the working tree, so the package should be blocked. The credential alert resolves to the intended Anthropic usage endpoint. - **Files touched:** templates/skills/ba-develop/SKILL.md, templates/skills/ba-develop/references/commit-checkpoints.md, templates/hooks/git-guard.cjs, templates/skills/gitflow/cli/commit/execute.ts, templates/skills/gitflow/cli/lib/git.ts, dist/index.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The development skill directs the agent to commit after each passing phase through the CLI, and its companion instructions explicitly say this bypasses the manual Bash hook by design., The installed Git hook blocks Git write commands issued through Claude Code's Bash tool., The commit helper stages the whole working tree by default and runs Git through a child process; it blocks commits on main and master, and pushes only when requested., The CLI registers the Git hook as a guard against unapproved Git writes., The statusline sends Claude Code's saved OAuth token to Anthropic's usage endpoint for quota data, with an expiry check and background refresh. - **Evidence against:** The Git helper prevents commits on main and master and does not push unless the caller requests it., The statusline credential transfer is directed to api.anthropic.com's OAuth usage endpoint, not an unrelated recipient. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @atlashub/smartstack-cli@5.26.0. - Avoid installing @atlashub/smartstack-cli@5.26.0. 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.
