## 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:** Published
- **Threat category:** Agent extension lifecycle risk
- **Selected version:** 1.20.0
- **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 platform binaries from the package GitHub release and place them in vendor/. It also deploys package-owned GoodVibes agents and skills under the user's ~/.goodvibes directory without prompting.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Install-time code can fetch platform binaries from the package GitHub release and place them in vendor/. It also deploys package-owned GoodVibes agents and skills under the user's ~/.goodvibes directory without prompting.

- **Trigger:** npm install (postinstall); downloaded binary runs only when the user invokes a GoodVibes bin command.

- **Impact:** A release-host compromise can stage an executable for later user invocation; installation mutates the package's AI-agent configuration surface.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-07-25T01:04:24.296Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** postinstall remote binary staging and first-party AI-agent extension deployment

- **Rationale:** Source confirms an install-time remote executable staging path and unprompted first-party GoodVibes extension setup. These meet the warn policy, not the threshold for malicious blocking.

- **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.js, vendor/, ~/.goodvibes/tui/skills, ~/.goodvibes/tui/agents, ~/.goodvibes/GOODVIBES.md

- **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/mgd34msu/goodvibes-tui/releases/download/v1.20.0

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** package.json runs scripts/postinstall.js at install., postinstall downloads release executables and only verifies a checksum fetched from the same release., postinstall copies bundled agent/skill files into ~/.goodvibes., Bundled reviewer agent contains operational instructions for an agent workflow.

- **Evidence against:** preinstall only checks that Bun is available., Downloaded binaries are not executed by postinstall., No credential harvesting or data exfiltration found in inspected files., Sandbox key/config writes require explicit /sandbox qemu commands and target its own workspace bundle.
