Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. LPM treats this as warn-only first-party agent extension lifecycle risk. Installation automatically adds a package-defined skill to multiple existing AI-agent skill roots. The skill can influence future agent behavior and invoke the bundled opaque native CLI. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-11T09:51:22.751Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-11T09:52:38.706Z - **Download time:** 1517 ms - **Static scan time:** 161 ms - **AI review time:** 74276 ms - **Total time:** 75955 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 automatically adds a package-defined skill to multiple existing AI-agent skill roots. The skill can influence future agent behavior and invoke the bundled opaque native CLI. - **Trigger:** Installing the npm package runs postinstall when a supported agent skill parent directory already exists. - **Impact:** The package can persist instructions across several agent products without an explicit agent setup command; the shipped native binaries cannot be source-audited here. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install.js, SKILL.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-11T09:52:38.706Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic multi-agent skill installation through a lifecycle hook. - **Rationale:** This is an automatic, multi-platform AI-agent extension deployment rather than a user-invoked setup flow. No direct JavaScript exfiltration or destructive action was found, so the source supports a warning rather than a malware block. - **Files touched:** bin/kugou-cli, SKILL.md, references/\*, $HOME/.claude/skills/kugou-skill/SKILL.md, $HOME/.mavis/skills/kugou-skill/SKILL.md, $HOME/.hermes/skills/kugou-skill/SKILL.md, $HOME/.openclaw/skills/kugou-skill/SKILL.md, $HOME/.codex/skills/kugou-skill/SKILL.md, $HOME/.workbuddy/skills/kugou-skill/SKILL.md ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The postinstall hook automatically runs an installer., The installer targets skill directories for six unrelated AI-agent products., It creates its own skill directory and copies SKILL.md and all reference files into those agent control surfaces., The installed skill directs agents to invoke the bundled CLI and accept a user-provided login secret when QR display is unavailable. - **Evidence against:** The JavaScript installer contains no network, environment harvesting, or command execution., Writes are limited to a package-named skill directory under agent skill parents that already exist., The wrapper only launches the packaged platform binary when the user invokes the CLI. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @kg-ai/kugou-skill@0.1.19. - Review the evidence and your use of @kg-ai/kugou-skill@0.1.19 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
