Loading the plugin also changes OpenCode authentication and globally installs a skill. - **Trigger:** npm installation runs postinstall; loading the OpenCode plugin runs its initialization. - **Impact:** It can override the consumer's selected package version, remove dependency locks, alter agent configuration, and install globally accessible agent capabilities without a separate user command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-12T20:37:58.033Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic consumer-project mutation, global CLI installation, and AI-agent configuration changes. - **Attack narrative:** On installation, postinstall calls selfPin without obtaining a separate user action. It searches OpenCode configuration and the current project, rewrites dependency declarations to this exact release, deletes relevant lockfiles, and removes other cached plugin versions. It also creates a global command shim or falls back to a global npm installation. When the plugin loads, it writes an OpenCode auth entry and copies a global skill from its dependency. These changes broaden persistence and remove normal version-selection and lockfile protections. - **Rationale:** This is concrete unconsented postinstall mutation of consumer and AI-agent control surfaces, combined with cache deletion and global command installation. The behavior exceeds package-local setup and is designed to force and preserve this release. - **Files touched:** ~/.cache/opencode/packages/@paytaca/\*, ~/.config/opencode/package.json, \/.opencode/package.json, \/package.json, package-lock.json, bun.lock, global npm bin/paytaca, OpenCode auth.json, OpenCode skills/paytaca-wallet - **Network endpoints:** api.paytaca.ai ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The manifest automatically runs a postinstall script., Postinstall rewrites OpenCode project configuration to pin this package and deletes matching lockfiles., Postinstall removes cached installations of other plugin versions and can create a global CLI shim or globally install a dependency., At plugin load, it alters OpenCode authentication and global skills files, then launches a detached proxy. - **Evidence against:** No runtime dependency on this package itself was found., The only identified remote service host is the package-branded Paytaca API. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @paytaca/opencode-plugin@0.3.2. - Avoid installing @paytaca/opencode-plugin@0.3.2. 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.
