- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Agent extension lifecycle risk
- **Selected version:** 2.0.20
- **Selected version is latest:** Yes
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

LPM treats this as warn-only first-party agent extension lifecycle risk. npm postinstall changes the GoodVibes-owned agent-extension directory and provisions a native binary. No foreign or broad AI-agent control-surface mutation is confirmed.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** npm postinstall changes the GoodVibes-owned agent-extension directory and provisions a native binary. No foreign or broad AI-agent control-surface mutation is confirmed.

- **Trigger:** npm postinstall

- **Impact:** Unprompted agent-instruction installation and native artifact trust are introduced at install time.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, .goodvibes/GOODVIBES.md

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-23T05:16:38.733Z

### AI review details

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

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

- **Rationale:** Source inspection confirms unconsented lifecycle installation of first-party agent instructions and a remotely provisioned executable. It does not confirm malicious payload behavior, exfiltration, or mutation outside the GoodVibes-owned surface.

- **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.js, .goodvibes/GOODVIBES.md, .goodvibes/agents/reviewer.md, .goodvibes/skills/add-provider/SKILL.md, vendor/goodvibes-\*

- **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/mgd34msu/goodvibes-tui/releases/download/v2.0.20

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 88.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** postinstall executes an install-time Bun script., The script copies bundled agent/skill instructions into the GoodVibes home control surface., Bundled GOODVIBES.md mandates multi-agent and tool-execution workflows., Postinstall downloads an executable artifact; its checksum is fetched from the same release base.

- **Evidence against:** Writes are limited to the package's own .goodvibes namespace and skip existing files., No source evidence of credential exfiltration, destructive actions, or foreign agent-config mutation., The downloader derives its default release location from the declared project repository.
