For a non-git agent directory it downloads helios-agent-latest.tar.gz from the Elyntic GitHub release host, extracts it, and replaces that agent directory, then runs pi update. Checksum failure does not stop the install. - **Trigger:** Pi session\_start after the package extensions load, about five seconds later, when ELYNTIC\_SKIP\_AUTO\_UPDATE is not 1 and the chosen agent directory is not a git repo. - **Impact:** A session can replace the Elyntic or helios-agent tree with a remotely supplied archive and then execute the local pi updater, including when the checksum file is missing. Git installs still require a UI confirm before the git update path. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, extensions/auto-update.ts - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-22T20:20:08.005Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** preflight calls tarballUpdate, which shells out to curl, removes com.apple.quarantine, extracts with tar, rename-swaps the agent directory, and runs pi update. The npm registry check in the same handler only prints a notification. - **Rationale:** The Pi extension auto-update path downloads and swaps a release tarball over the product agent directory on session start without a confirm step, and it continues if checksum verification cannot run. That is a real remote-code capability of the named updater, but the git path asks for confirmation, the npm check does not install, and the install hook does not rewrite a foreign agent config, so it is a warning rather than a publish block. - **Files touched:** ~/helios-agent, ~/Desktop/Elyntic/helios-agent-main, .update-state.json, .update-tarball.tar.gz - **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/helios-agi/elyntic-team-installer/releases/latest/download ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 78.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** package.json registers ./extensions with the Pi agent and runs postinstall.cjs on npm install., On session\_start, auto-update.ts schedules watchdog, npm version check, and triggerUpdate after 5 seconds unless ELYNTIC\_SKIP\_AUTO\_UPDATE is 1., If the agent directory is not a git repo, preflight calls tarballUpdate, which curls a GitHub release tarball, strips the macOS quarantine attribute, extracts it, and renames it over the agent directory without a confirm prompt., Checksum verification is skipped when the remote checksum cannot be fetched, and a successful swap then runs pi update. - **Evidence against:** The npm version check only notifies the user to run elyntic update and does not install a package., Git-checkout updates ask ctx.ui.confirm before runUpdate., postinstall.cjs copies a better-sqlite3 prebuild or runs local preparation scripts that exist beside the package; it does not write Claude or Cursor config., The swap target is ELYNTIC\_ROOT or the product paths Desktop/Elyntic/helios-agent-main and ~/helios-agent, matching the named Elyntic updater. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @cgh567/agent@2.6.43. - Review the evidence and your use of @cgh567/agent@2.6.43 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.
