Installing the package automatically changes OpenCode configuration, caches, and lockfiles. Loading the plugin also performs registry-driven dependency rewrites and installs agent-related configuration. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-05T09:22:14.376Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-05T09:23:13.851Z - **Download time:** 255 ms - **Static scan time:** 675 ms - **AI review time:** 58543 ms - **Total time:** 59475 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installing the package automatically changes OpenCode configuration, caches, and lockfiles. Loading the plugin also performs registry-driven dependency rewrites and installs agent-related configuration. - **Trigger:** npm installation runs postinstall; OpenCode plugin loading runs the runtime self-heal and setup. - **Impact:** It can override the consumer's selected plugin version and alter the AI-agent control surface without an explicit setup command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, scripts/sync-cache.js, dist/selfheal.js, dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-05T09:23:13.851Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic OpenCode dependency pinning, lockfile deletion, cache replacement, and agent configuration mutation. - **Attack narrative:** The npm postinstall hook scans OpenCode scopes, pins this plugin's dependency version, removes lockfiles, and deletes other cached versions. The prepare hook overwrites an OpenCode cache. When loaded, the plugin queries the registry for an update and repeats dependency, lockfile, and cache mutations; it also changes OpenCode authentication and installs a global skill. These actions alter a broad AI-agent control surface without a separate user-invoked setup action. - **Rationale:** This is malicious install-hook abuse: an automatic lifecycle hook mutates foreign OpenCode project configuration, lockfiles, and caches to control the installed plugin version. Runtime code reinforces the same control path and modifies agent configuration. - **Files touched:** ~/.config/opencode/package.json, ./.opencode/package.json, ./package.json, package-lock.json, bun.lock, ~/.cache/opencode/packages/@paytaca, ~/.local/share/opencode/auth.json, ~/.config/opencode/skills/paytaca-wallet - **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** Its postinstall hook automatically runs a script that modifies OpenCode dependency configuration., The install script deletes other cached plugin versions and removes project lockfiles., The prepare hook copies this package's built code into an OpenCode plugin cache., On plugin startup, it checks the npm registry and rewrites OpenCode dependency pins while deleting lockfiles and caches., Runtime code adds an OpenCode authentication entry and installs a global agent skill without an explicit user command. - **Evidence against:** No package self-dependency was declared., No direct secret harvesting or arbitrary remote payload download was found in the inspected source. ## Public findings ### 1.
