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. LPM treats this as warn-only first-party agent extension lifecycle risk. The postinstall hook automatically runs bundled setup commands, including asset sync on non-root installs, and removes an existing pipx installation of the same command. This is a first-party agent setup and same-command migration risk; no concrete malicious behavior was established from the inspected source. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 82.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-08T17:36:54.405Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-08T17:37:21.635Z - **Download time:** 1280 ms - **Static scan time:** 172 ms - **AI review time:** 25776 ms - **Total time:** 27230 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 postinstall hook automatically runs bundled setup commands, including asset sync on non-root installs, and removes an existing pipx installation of the same command. This is a first-party agent setup and same-command migration risk; no concrete malicious behavior was established from the inspected source. - **Trigger:** Installing the package through npm, which runs its postinstall hook. - **Impact:** The install may update agent assets and replace the same-vendor command installation; source inspected here does not establish broader agent-control mutation or data exposure. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-08T17:37:21.635Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook invokes bundled preflight and asset-sync commands for non-root installs and uninstalls a prior pipx claudespace installation when pipx is available. - **Rationale:** The install hook performs automatic first-party agent asset setup and same-command pipx migration, so a warning is appropriate under the lifecycle policy. The inspected evidence does not show a self-dependency chain, exfiltration, or unconsented mutation of a foreign agent control surface. - **Files touched:** ~/.claude, ~/.ai, ~/.config/claudespace ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 82.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** package.json runs a postinstall script that invokes scripts/postinstall.js., Postinstall removes an existing pipx installation of the same claudespace command and runs bundled preflight and asset-sync commands., Asset sync runs automatically during postinstall for non-root installs; this is first-party package-owned agent setup., The flagged observe and ask shell files resolve to bundled binary commands; the flagged tmux save script sources neighboring plugin helpers. - **Evidence against:** The inspected postinstall code contains no runtime self-dependency or package-manager installation of another release., The flagged shell shims dispatch to the package's bundled binary, and the flagged tmux script begins with ordinary helper sourcing. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ayorcodes/claudespace@1.0.14. - Review the evidence and your use of @ayorcodes/claudespace@1.0.14 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.
