Existing agent defaults are overridden, directing subsequent default model selection to the package's GigaChat provider. - **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:** 0.4.0 - **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. Installation changes the shared Pi agent's default provider and model without an opt-in check. This modifies a foreign agent control surface beyond the package's own extension files. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-04T15:28:22.807Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-04T15:29:22.055Z - **Download time:** 1033 ms - **Static scan time:** 89 ms - **AI review time:** 58125 ms - **Total time:** 59248 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:** Installation changes the shared Pi agent's default provider and model without an opt-in check. This modifies a foreign agent control surface beyond the package's own extension files. - **Trigger:** npm installation with postinstall hooks enabled. - **Impact:** Existing agent defaults are overridden, directing subsequent default model selection to the package's GigaChat provider. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-04T15:29:22.055Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook reads the agent settings, overwrites defaultProvider and defaultModel, then replaces the settings file and writes a marker. - **Attack narrative:** The automatic postinstall hook locates Pi's shared agent directory and replaces its saved provider and model defaults. It performs this mutation regardless of existing selections and without requesting consent. The settings overwrite is an active installation-time change to another agent's control surface, rather than merely registering package-owned extension files. - **Rationale:** Inspected source proves unconsented postinstall mutation of a foreign AI agent's shared model-selection settings. This meets the supplied blocking policy even without evidence of credential exfiltration. - **Files touched:** settings.json, .pi-gigachat-default-model ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** package.json automatically runs scripts/postinstall.mjs after installation., The hook targets the shared Pi agent settings directory, defaulting to ~/.pi/agent., The hook unconditionally replaces the default provider and model with gigachat and Qwen3.5-397b., The modified settings replace settings.json, and an installation marker is written without a consent gate. - **Evidence against:** The hook preserves unrelated settings and existing file permissions., The runtime entrypoint implements a GigaChat provider; no credential theft is established by the inspected code. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @dev-sergeev/pi-gigachat@0.4.0. - Avoid installing @dev-sergeev/pi-gigachat@0.4.0. 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.
