Installation mutates a foreign AI-related tool and executes remotely supplied code on the consumer machine. - **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:** 1.10.10 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **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. LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. The automatic postinstall hook installs and configures the separate git-ai tool. It executes a remotely downloaded shell installer without an explicit user command. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-27T21:13:16.038Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-27T21:14:03.576Z - **Download time:** 757 ms - **Static scan time:** 110 ms - **AI review time:** 46670 ms - **Total time:** 47538 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 automatic postinstall hook installs and configures the separate git-ai tool. It executes a remotely downloaded shell installer without an explicit user command. - **Trigger:** npm lifecycle postinstall during package installation. - **Impact:** Installation mutates a foreign AI-related tool and executes remotely supplied code on the consumer machine. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-27T21:14:03.576Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook downloads the git-ai install script from GitHub, pipes it to Bash, then invokes git-ai configuration commands. - **Attack narrative:** Installing the package triggers postinstall. That hook calls setupGitAi, which downloads and executes a GitHub-hosted installer and then changes git-ai configuration. This is an unconsented lifecycle mutation of a foreign AI-related control surface; an opt-out variable does not turn the default automatic action into an explicit user command. - **Rationale:** The package performs remote code execution and foreign git-ai configuration mutation automatically from postinstall. This meets the install-control-surface blocking condition. - **Files touched:** package.json, postinstall.mjs - **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/git-ai-project/git-ai/releases/download/${GIT\_AI\_VERSION}/install.sh ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** package.json automatically invokes postinstall., The postinstall path always calls setupGitAi after its binary setup., On non-Windows systems, setupGitAi downloads a remote installer and pipes it to Bash., The install hook changes git-ai configuration through its command interface. - **Evidence against:** The external setup has an environment-variable opt-out., The shipped git-ai defaults disable telemetry-related settings. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @cubic-dev-ai/cli@1.10.10. - Avoid installing @cubic-dev-ai/cli@1.10.10. 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.
