Install mutates one dependency UI file; later CLI use can write package-generated command prompts to existing Claude/Pi directories. No credential exfiltration or remote payload execution was confirmed. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-27T12:43:55.880Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-27T12:45:18.249Z - **Download time:** 1015 ms - **Static scan time:** 3804 ms - **AI review time:** 77549 ms - **Total time:** 82369 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Install mutates one dependency UI file; later CLI use can write package-generated command prompts to existing Claude/Pi directories. No credential exfiltration or remote payload execution was confirmed. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall; subsequently running a non-help crouter CLI command - **Impact:** Changes dependency behavior and can add or update crouter-owned AI-host command files. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, dist/cli.js, dist/core/host-exports/export.js, dist/clients/web/server.js, dist/core/view/transport-local.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-27T12:45:18.249Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** dependency patch and guarded AI-host prompt provisioning - **Rationale:** Source inspection found no concrete malicious behavior, but automatic dependency mutation plus CLI-triggered AI-host prompt provisioning warrants a warning under the lifecycle-risk policy. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.mjs, dist/cli.js, dist/core/host-exports/export.js, dist/core/host-exports/builtins.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** \`postinstall\` patches a file inside \`@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent\`., Every non-help CLI invocation provisions generated prompts into existing \`~/.claude\`/\`~/.pi\` host directories. - **Evidence against:** Postinstall patch is version-guarded, idempotent, and only changes Pi tree-root ordering., Host exports are marker-guarded and avoid overwriting user-owned files., No install-time network, credential harvesting, or payload download found., Web command surface defaults to loopback; non-loopback binding requires a token. ## Public findings ### 1.
