The installed skill instructs agents to solicit and pass user authentication secrets to the bundled CLI. - **Trigger:** npm installation on a host with any targeted agent skill parent directory - **Impact:** Unconsented persistence in multiple AI-agent instruction surfaces, enabling later secret solicitation. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install.js, SKILL.md, bin/linux-x64/kugou-cli - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-08T19:49:38.065Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall deployment of a cross-agent credential-handling skill - **Attack narrative:** Installing the package automatically places its instruction file and references into every detected AI-agent skill directory. That skill directs agents to ask users for a base64 authentication secret when QR rendering is unavailable, then invoke the bundled CLI with it. This is an unconsented postinstall mutation of foreign, broad agent control surfaces. - **Rationale:** Source inspection confirms the lifecycle script deploys package-controlled instructions across multiple unrelated agent platforms. This satisfies the firewall block criterion for unconsented postinstall AI-agent control-surface mutation. - **Files touched:** scripts/install.js, SKILL.md, ~/.claude/skills/kugou-skill/SKILL.md, ~/.mavis/skills/kugou-skill/SKILL.md, ~/.hermes/skills/kugou-skill/SKILL.md, ~/.openclaw/skills/kugou-skill/SKILL.md, ~/.codex/skills/kugou-skill/SKILL.md, ~/.workbuddy/skills/kugou-skill/SKILL.md - **Network endpoints:** https://agentgateway.kugou.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs scripts/install.js as postinstall., scripts/install.js copies SKILL.md into six AI-agent skill directories., Writes occur automatically when each agent parent directory exists., SKILL.md tells agents to request a base64 secret when QR rendering is unavailable., Shipped CLI binary contains https://agentgateway.kugou.com. - **Evidence against:** Installer does not create absent agent parent directories., No source evidence of install-time network access or shell execution. ## Public findings ### 1.
