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. LPM treats this as warn-only first-party agent extension lifecycle risk. The npm postinstall hook downloads a native CLI and automatically adds this package's bundled skills to the global agent skill surface. This is a first-party agent-extension lifecycle action; no confirmed credential theft or active attack was identified. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-22T15:57:25.260Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-22T15:58:42.292Z - **Download time:** 766 ms - **Static scan time:** 1427 ms - **AI review time:** 74837 ms - **Total time:** 77032 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:** The npm postinstall hook downloads a native CLI and automatically adds this package's bundled skills to the global agent skill surface. This is a first-party agent-extension lifecycle action; no confirmed credential theft or active attack was identified. - **Trigger:** Installing the npm package with lifecycle scripts enabled. - **Impact:** Package installation can change globally available agent skills without an explicit setup command. The inspected source does not establish a further malicious payload or data exfiltration. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install.js, scripts/skills.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-22T15:58:42.292Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** scripts/install.js invokes the bundled skill installer unless PIPPIT\_CLI\_SKIP\_SKILLS is set; that installer runs a global skills add command and removes two legacy skill directories under the global .agents skills directory. - **Rationale:** Automatic postinstall mutation of the global agent skill surface warrants a warning under the lifecycle policy. The available source supports first-party extension setup rather than a confirmed malicious attack. - **Files touched:** bin/pippit-tool-cli, .agents/skills/pippit-short-drama-skill, .agents/skills/xyq-nest-skill - **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/Pippit-dev/cli/releases/download/, https://xyq.jianying.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The package automatically runs its installer after npm installation., The installer downloads a versioned CLI binary and, by default, installs bundled skills., The skill installer invokes a global skill-add command and removes named directories under the user's global agent skills location., The marketing command sends its environment-supplied API key only to its fixed service base. - **Evidence against:** No self-dependency is declared., The downloaded archive is checked against a bundled SHA-256 value before extraction., No credential harvesting, unrelated credential forwarding, or destructive broad file operation was identified in the inspected paths. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @pippit-dev/cli@1.0.31. - Review the evidence and your use of @pippit-dev/cli@1.0.31 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.
