## Verdict summary
**Soft block: AI-agent control surface** — Warn by default; block when configured. OpenCode may load the package plugin automatically after install, changing AI agent behavior without a separate user command.

- **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:** 1.1.1
- **Selected version is latest:** Yes
- **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.

Static inspection confirms install-time writes to OpenCode control-surface configs; under the firewall policy this is blocking behavior even though the implementation otherwise appears package-aligned and documented. No separate exfiltration or destructive payload was found. Product guard normalized a concrete AI-agent control hijack publish\_block to the blockable dangerous-capability shape.

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 package modifies OpenCode configuration during npm postinstall, adding itself as a plugin and creating booster config files. This is an unconsented lifecycle mutation of an AI agent control surface even though it matches the package theme.

- **Trigger:** npm install / postinstall

- **Impact:** OpenCode may load the package plugin automatically after install, changing AI agent behavior without a separate user command.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/bin.js, dist/config-installer.js, dist/config.js, dist/server.js, dist/proxy/store.js, dist/proxy/fetch-patch.js, README.md

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-07-02T21:46:56.159Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** install-time OpenCode plugin registration and config file creation

- **Attack narrative:** On installation, npm runs the package postinstall script. That invokes the bundled CLI \`init\`, which edits OpenCode server and TUI config files to include \`@hallaxius/nim-booster\`, then \`init-project\`, which creates a project booster config. After OpenCode restarts, the package can be loaded as an OpenCode plugin and alter key/proxy rotation behavior.

- **Rationale:** Static inspection confirms install-time writes to OpenCode control-surface configs; under the firewall policy this is blocking behavior even though the implementation otherwise appears package-aligned and documented. No separate exfiltration or destructive payload was found. Product guard normalized a concrete AI-agent control hijack publish\_block to the blockable dangerous-capability shape.

- **Files touched:** package.json, dist/bin.js, dist/config-installer.js, ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json, ~/.config/opencode/tui.json, ~/.config/opencode/nim-booster/config.json, booster.jsonc

- **Network endpoints:** https://proxy.webshare.io/api/v2/proxy/list/, https://proxy.webshare.io/api/v2/proxy/list/refresh/, p.webshare.io, ipv4.webshare.io

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 90.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for policy risk:** package.json postinstall runs \`node dist/bin.js init\` and \`init-project\` automatically, dist/bin.js dispatches install-time \`init\` to \`updateOpenCodeConfigs\` and \`init-project\` to \`writeProjectBoosterConfig\`, dist/config-installer.js writes OpenCode \`opencode.json\` and \`tui.json\` plugin entries for \`@hallaxius/nim-booster\`, dist/config-installer.js creates default \`nim-booster/config.json\` and project \`booster.jsonc\` without an explicit user CLI invocation, dist/proxy/store.js contacts \`https://proxy.webshare.io/api/v2/proxy/list/\` only when proxy features are configured

- **Evidence against:** No child\_process, eval, dynamic code loading, or obfuscated payload found in inspected dist files, Network access is package-aligned Webshare proxy API and gated by configured token/proxy use, No evidence of credential exfiltration; tokens/keys are stored locally for the plugin feature, README documents the postinstall OpenCode config modification behavior

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @hallaxius/nim-booster@1.1.1.

- Avoid installing @hallaxius/nim-booster@1.1.1. 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.
