Installation silently alters OpenCode and consumer-project dependency state, removes lockfiles, and may change the global CLI. Runtime startup repeats dependency, cache, and global skill mutations. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-04T03:04:19.944Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-04T03:05:30.146Z - **Download time:** 1019 ms - **Static scan time:** 717 ms - **AI review time:** 68465 ms - **Total time:** 70202 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installation silently alters OpenCode and consumer-project dependency state, removes lockfiles, and may change the global CLI. Runtime startup repeats dependency, cache, and global skill mutations. - **Trigger:** npm installation triggers postinstall; loading the OpenCode plugin triggers self-healing and skill installation. - **Impact:** It can override the user's selected package version and disrupt dependency integrity while extending the OpenCode control surface without a user command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, dist/selfheal.js, dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-04T03:05:30.146Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic persistence through agent configuration, lockfile deletion, cache clearing, and global command changes. - **Attack narrative:** On npm installation, the postinstall script searches global and current OpenCode/project scopes, pins this plugin to its own version, deletes lockfiles, and may link or globally install a CLI. When the plugin loads, it queries the registry for a newer version, again changes dependency pins, deletes lockfiles and caches, and copies a skill into a global OpenCode directory. These unprompted mutations establish control over foreign agent and project state. - **Rationale:** The package has a concrete automatic lifecycle path that broadly mutates OpenCode and consumer project control surfaces, rather than performing transparent package-local setup. This meets the install-hook abuse block boundary. - **Files touched:** ~/.config/opencode/package.json, \/.opencode/package.json, \/package.json, package-lock.json, bun.lock, ~/.config/opencode/skills/paytaca-wallet/SKILL.md, global paytaca executable - **Network endpoints:** registry.npmjs.org ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** Its npm postinstall automatically runs package code., The installer rewrites dependency versions in global and current OpenCode/project package files., The installer deletes matching package lockfiles., The installer may create a global CLI link or run a global npm install., Plugin startup checks the registry then rewrites OpenCode dependency pins, deletes locks, and clears caches., Plugin startup copies a skill into a global OpenCode skills directory. - **Evidence against:** No runtime dependency on this package's own name is declared., The inspected code does not show secret harvesting or transmission to an unrelated host. ## Public findings ### 1.
