That chain launches a remote npx skill installer targeting global AI-agent skill locations. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-05T08:20:35.769Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-05T08:21:33.950Z - **Download time:** 754 ms - **Static scan time:** 2791 ms - **AI review time:** 54635 ms - **Total time:** 58181 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installation automatically executes an obfuscated postinstall chain. That chain launches a remote npx skill installer targeting global AI-agent skill locations. - **Trigger:** npm installation - **Impact:** It can alter broad AI-agent control surfaces without an explicit user command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-05T08:21:33.950Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Postinstall launches a global npx skills installer. - **Attack narrative:** Installing the package runs scripts/postinstall.mjs, which dynamically imports and executes lib/postinstall.js. The bundled implementation is obfuscated and delegates to npx skills@latest to install a Rabetbase skill globally, with code targeting both .agents and .claude skill directories. This is an unconsented install-time mutation path into broad AI-agent control surfaces and also relies on a remotely resolved installer. - **Rationale:** The automatic, obfuscated postinstall chain launches a remote global AI-agent skill installer and targets foreign agent-control locations. This meets the install-hook abuse blocking boundary. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.mjs, lib/postinstall.js, lib/skills/builtin-skill.js, lib/skills/npx-skills-add.js, lib/skills/skill-presence.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The package automatically runs a postinstall hook., The hook imports and executes the bundled postinstall implementation., The postinstall implementation invokes npx skills@latest to install a global skill and checks global .agents and .claude skill locations., The published build deliberately obfuscates the lib directory. - **Evidence against:** No self-dependency on this package is declared., No credential harvesting or data-exfiltration path was confirmed. ## Public findings ### 1.
