## 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:** Under Review
- **Threat category:** Agent extension lifecycle risk
- **Selected version:** 1.17.0
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

LPM treats this as warn-only first-party agent extension lifecycle risk. Install-time code can fetch native binaries and install GoodVibes-owned agent instructions. No source-confirmed credential theft, destructive behavior, or foreign agent-control mutation was found.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Install-time code can fetch native binaries and install GoodVibes-owned agent instructions. No source-confirmed credential theft, destructive behavior, or foreign agent-control mutation was found.

- **Trigger:** npm postinstall; QEMU and hook features require explicit GoodVibes commands

- **Impact:** Remote release artifacts can execute through the package launcher; bundled instructions alter the GoodVibes-owned agent surface.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, bin/launcher-support.js, src/runtime/sandbox-public-gaps.ts, src/input/commands/platform-sandbox-qemu.ts, .goodvibes/GOODVIBES.md

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-07-13T23:57:09.364Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** release-binary bootstrap plus first-party agent-extension deployment

- **Rationale:** The install hook creates a guarded first-party agent extension and can bootstrap executable artifacts, which warrants a warning. Source inspection found no concrete malicious chain that meets the block threshold.

- **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.js, bin/launcher-support.js, bin/goodvibes, bin/goodvibes-daemon, .goodvibes/GOODVIBES.md, .goodvibes/agents/reviewer.md, .goodvibes/skills/add-provider/SKILL.md, vendor/\<platform-artifact\>, ~/.goodvibes/tui/skills, ~/.goodvibes/tui/agents, ~/.goodvibes/GOODVIBES.md

- **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/mgd34msu/goodvibes-tui/releases/download/v1.17.0/SHA256SUMS.txt

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 92.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for:** package.json runs postinstall, scripts/postinstall.js downloads executable release artifacts at install time, postinstall copies bundled agent files into ~/.goodvibes, .goodvibes/GOODVIBES.md contains agent-operating directives

- **Evidence against:** check-bun.sh only validates Bun availability, postinstall prefers integrity-checked optional platform packages, fallback download verifies SHA-256 manifest entries, no credential harvesting or unrelated exfiltration found, QEMU provisioning is exposed through explicit runtime commands
