## 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:** 2.0.11
- **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. Installation may download a native executable from the package GitHub release and place it under the package vendor directory. It also installs package-owned GoodVibes agent and skill files under the user's GoodVibes home.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Installation may download a native executable from the package GitHub release and place it under the package vendor directory. It also installs package-owned GoodVibes agent and skill files under the user's GoodVibes home.

- **Trigger:** npm postinstall

- **Impact:** A compromised release endpoint could supply an executable because its checksum manifest is fetched from the same endpoint; installed agent instructions can affect the GoodVibes surface.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, bin/launcher-support.js, .goodvibes/GOODVIBES.md, src/runtime/sandbox-public-gaps.ts, src/verification/live-verifier.ts

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-09T23:26:02.775Z

### AI review details

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

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

- **Rationale:** No concrete malicious behavior was found, but install-time remote executable retrieval and automatic first-party agent-extension deployment are material lifecycle risks. The scanner's persistence finding corresponds to explicit user-invoked QEMU sandbox setup, not stealth persistence.

- **Files touched:** vendor/goodvibes-linux-x64, vendor/SHA256SUMS.txt, ~/.goodvibes/tui/skills, ~/.goodvibes/tui/agents, ~/.goodvibes/GOODVIBES.md

- **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/mgd34msu/goodvibes-tui/releases/download/v2.0.11

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 86.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for:** package.json runs postinstall., scripts/postinstall.js can fetch and install a release executable., Checksum is fetched from the same release URL as the executable., postinstall copies bundled agent/skill files into ~/.goodvibes.

- **Evidence against:** Binary download is restricted to the package GitHub repository URL., Platform-package path uses npm-installed artifacts instead of download., Agent files are placed only in the package-owned ~/.goodvibes namespace., QEMU provisioning and command execution require explicit /sandbox commands., live-verifier targets the local daemon and redacts tokens in reports.
