Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## 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:** 2.0.18 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The postinstall hook automatically adds package-owned agent and skill files to the user's GoodVibes directory, so this warrants a warning for first-party agent-extension setup. The inspected deployment preserves existing entries and does not establish a concrete attack beyond that configuration change. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 82.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-17T01:05:35.498Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-17T01:06:33.358Z - **Download time:** 1298 ms - **Static scan time:** 4290 ms - **AI review time:** 52271 ms - **Total time:** 57860 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installation adds package-owned agent and skill instructions to the user's GoodVibes home directory. This creates a default agent-extension setup surface. - **Trigger:** The npm postinstall hook runs during package installation. - **Impact:** The package's instructions become available to GoodVibes outside the package directory; the inspected code does not show credential transfer or unrelated agent settings being changed by this deployment. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, .goodvibes/agents/reviewer.md, .goodvibes/skills/add-provider/SKILL.md, .goodvibes/GOODVIBES.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-17T01:06:33.358Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook copies bundled skills and agents into ~/.goodvibes/tui and copies a GoodVibes instruction file into ~/.goodvibes when that file is absent. - **Rationale:** The postinstall hook automatically adds package-owned agent and skill files to the user's GoodVibes directory, so this warrants a warning for first-party agent-extension setup. The inspected deployment preserves existing entries and does not establish a concrete attack beyond that configuration change. - **Files touched:** ~/.goodvibes/tui/skills, ~/.goodvibes/tui/agents, ~/.goodvibes/GOODVIBES.md ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 82.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The manifest runs scripts/postinstall.js during installation., Postinstall deploys bundled skills and agents into the user's GoodVibes directory., It copies missing bundled entries without replacing existing ones., Postinstall also places the package's GoodVibes instruction file in the user's home directory if it is absent., The deployed agent file is a package-owned code review agent., The install routine calls the bundled-file deployment function. - **Evidence against:** The inspected deployment preserves existing agent and skill entries and only adds missing files. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @pellux/goodvibes-tui@2.0.18. - Review the evidence and your use of @pellux/goodvibes-tui@2.0.18 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
