Manage agentic work across repositories with durable workbases

AI Security Review

scanned 14d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The postinstall automatically installs a first-party Pi extension, which warrants a warning under the agent extension lifecycle policy. The ownership checks and explicit workbase integration sync do not establish malicious behavior.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

npm postinstall

Impact

Pi may load the extension in future sessions, enabling its package-provided integration behavior.

Mechanism

The installer copies the bundled extension when absent and replaces an existing file only when its ownership record and content hash match.

AI rationale

Evidence

package.jsonscripts/install-pi-extension.tspi-extensions/agency.ts~/.pi/agent/extensions/agency.ts~/.pi/agent/extensions/agency.ts.agency-managed.json

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 91.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

The postinstall hook installs a package-owned Pi extension into the user's global Pi extension directory.
The installer only updates an existing extension when its ownership record and content hash match; otherwise it skips the file.
The workbase integration target is project-local, and its sync command is an explicit CLI operation.
The flagged process and review files use process spawning for application operations; the inspected excerpts show no malicious command or network behavior.
The flagged Babel file is ordinary dependency code.

Evidence against

The global Pi extension installation happens automatically during npm postinstall, without a consent prompt in the inspected installer path.
