## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Installing the package automatically invokes a platform-specific Customer.io CLI to install an agent skill. The exact binary and resulting files are not included in this snapshot.

- **Trigger:** npm installation, via postinstall

- **Impact:** May add a Customer.io skill to project or global AI-agent configuration locations without an explicit cio command.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, .npm/postinstall.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-01T19:52:43.723Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** automatic launch of a skills installer with project or global scope

- **Rationale:** This is a real automatic AI-agent extension lifecycle action, but the inspected source shows no exfiltration, destructive behavior, remote payload loading, or self-dependency chain. It warrants a warning rather than a block under the first-party agent-extension policy.

- **Files touched:** .npm/postinstall.js

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 90.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** The package has an automatic postinstall lifecycle hook., Postinstall selects global or project scope from the npm install context., Postinstall launches the platform CLI with a skills-install command, which can modify AI-agent skill locations without an explicit command from the user.

- **Evidence against:** The JavaScript only resolves a declared same-vendor platform dependency before launching its binary., No credential collection, network endpoint, shell command, obfuscation, or self-dependency is present in the inspected JavaScript., The launcher otherwise forwards explicit cio commands to the platform binary.

## Public findings

### 1. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@customerio/cli@0.0.25/package.json>)

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```json
scripts.postinstall = node .npm/postinstall.js
```

### 2. Medium: Ambiguous Install Lifecycle Script
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 75.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@customerio/cli@0.0.25/package.json>)

Install-time lifecycle script is not statically allowlisted and needs review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```json
scripts.postinstall = node .npm/postinstall.js
```

### 3. Low: Scripts Present
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

Package declares npm scripts.

### 4. Low: No License
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 80.0%

Package manifest does not declare a clear license.

### 5. Medium: Suspicious Lifecycle Evidence
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@customerio/cli@0.0.25/package.json>)

The package has an automatic postinstall lifecycle hook.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```json
"bin": {
    "cio": ".npm/run.js"
  },
  "scripts": {
    "postinstall": "node .npm/postinstall.js"
  }
```

### 6. Medium: Suspicious Lifecycle Evidence
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** .npm/postinstall.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@customerio/cli@0.0.25/.npm/postinstall.js>)

Postinstall selects global or project scope from the npm install context.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
const isGlobal = process.env.npm[redacted] === "true";
const scopeFlag = isGlobal ? "--global" : "--project";
const spawnOpts = { stdio: "inherit" };

// For project installs, npm runs postinstall with cwd inside node_modules.
// INIT_CWD is the directory where the user ran npm install (the project root).
if (!isGlobal && process.env.INIT_CWD) {
  spawnOpts.cwd = process.env.INIT_CWD;
}
```

### 7. Medium: Suspicious Lifecycle Evidence
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** .npm/postinstall.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@customerio/cli@0.0.25/.npm/postinstall.js>)

Postinstall launches the platform CLI with a skills-install command, which can modify AI-agent skill locations without an explicit command from the user.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
console.log(`[cio postinstall] Running: cio skills install ${scopeFlag}`);
const child = spawn(binPath, ["skills", "install", scopeFlag], spawnOpts);
```
