## Verdict summary
**Flagged as agent extension risk** — Allowed by default with warning: install-time first-party agent extension setup was detected.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Warn-only agent extension risk
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Agent extension lifecycle risk
- **Selected version:** 2.5.5
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. 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.

The postinstall hook automatically installs the package-owned skill into global agent skill locations using a latest-version installer and automatic confirmation. This is a warning-level lifecycle risk, not evidence of a confirmed malicious attack.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** The npm postinstall hook automatically installs the package’s bundled agent skill globally. This is a lifecycle-triggered change to user-level agent skill directories, so it warrants a warning.

- **Trigger:** Installing the npm package runs its postinstall hook.

- **Impact:** A package install changes the user’s global agent skill setup without a separate affirmative setup action. The inspected source does not establish private-data export or other malicious behavior.

- **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:** 2026-10-15T12:10:52.850Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The hook launches npx with the latest skills installer and automatic yes and global flags; the only skip guard is an environment variable.

- **Rationale:** The postinstall hook automatically installs the package-owned skill into global agent skill locations using a latest-version installer and automatic confirmation. This is a warning-level lifecycle risk, not evidence of a confirmed malicious attack.

- **Files touched:** ~/.agents/skills/rabetbase, ~/.claude/skills/rabetbase

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 90.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** package.json registers a postinstall script that invokes scripts/postinstall.mjs., The postinstall entrypoint imports and runs lib/postinstall.js, which calls the bundled skill installer., The installer launches the skills@latest command with automatic yes and global install flags., The command targets global agent skill directories under the user’s home directory; skipping it requires a specific environment variable., The bundled skill source is checked against a package manifest and digest before installation.
