Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Installation automatically launches an unpinned npx skill installer with global scope. This can modify shared AI-agent skill locations in the user's home directory. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-29T02:48:00.497Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-29T02:49:14.028Z - **Download time:** 1017 ms - **Static scan time:** 3087 ms - **AI review time:** 69426 ms - **Total time:** 73531 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 launches an unpinned npx skill installer with global scope. This can modify shared AI-agent skill locations in the user's home directory. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall during package installation. - **Impact:** A package installation can alter broad, shared AI-agent control surfaces and fetch current external installer code without an explicit user command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, lib/postinstall.js, lib/skills/builtin-skill.js, lib/skills/npx-skills-add.js, lib/skills/skill-presence.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-29T02:49:14.028Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The lifecycle hook runs the built-in skill installer, which calls npx with skills@latest, an add command, and a global flag. - **Attack narrative:** The package uses postinstall to invoke an obfuscated built-in installer. That installer automatically runs an unpinned npx skills@latest command with global scope to install a Lovrabet skill into shared agent-skill locations. The action occurs without an explicit setup command and can modify multiple AI-agent environments in the user's home directory. - **Rationale:** The automatic lifecycle chain mutates a broad AI-agent control surface and downloads current external installer code through npx. This meets the install-hook abuse blocking boundary. - **Files touched:** .agents/skills, .claude/skills ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The package declares an automatic postinstall hook., The hook imports and runs the package postinstall module., The postinstall module installs a built-in skill., The installer invokes npx to add a global skill., The invoked command uses skills@latest and a global flag, creating an unpinned external installation chain. - **Evidence against:** No credential collection or data-exfiltration behavior was identified in the inspected install chain. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @lovrabet/rabetbase-cli@2.5.4. - Avoid installing @lovrabet/rabetbase-cli@2.5.4. 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.
