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. npm postinstall downloads this package's versioned CLI release and, unless skipped, globally registers the bundled agent skills and sends install telemetry. The skills written are this package's own skill tree. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-23T10:28:37.412Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-23T10:31:21.679Z - **Download time:** 1004 ms - **Static scan time:** 1485 ms - **AI review time:** 161777 ms - **Total time:** 164267 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:** npm postinstall downloads this package's versioned CLI release and, unless skipped, globally registers the bundled agent skills and sends install telemetry. The skills written are this package's own skill tree. - **Trigger:** npm install lifecycle running node scripts/install.js, except an npx exec postinstall when PIPPIT\_CLI\_RUN is unset. - **Impact:** The user's global agent skills directory is changed during install without a separate consent prompt, and the vendor receives platform and version metadata. The payload is the package's own skills and CLI binary. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install.js, scripts/skills.js, scripts/telemetry.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-23T10:31:21.679Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** install.js fetches the matching GitHub release archive into the package bin directory, then skills.js invokes npx skills add with -g and --skill \* and removes legacy skill folders under ~/.agents/skills. telemetry.js POSTs non-secret install metadata to xyq.jianying.com unless disabled. - **Rationale:** Postinstall installs this package's own agent skills into the global skills directory and reports install metadata. That is first-party agent extension setup with an opt-out, not a hidden foreign control-surface hijack or secret theft. - **Files touched:** ~/.agents/skills, bin/pippit-tool-cli - **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/Pippit-dev/cli/releases/download/, https://xyq.jianying.com/api/biz/v1/skill/report\_telemetry ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** package.json postinstall runs node scripts/install.js on npm install., install.js then installs bundled skills and reports install telemetry unless PIPPIT\_CLI\_SKIP\_SKILLS is 1., skills.js runs npx skills add on this package with a global flag and --skill \*, then deletes two legacy directories under the user .agents/skills path., telemetry.js POSTs skill name, event, source, CLI version, platform, and arch to https://xyq.jianying.com/api/biz/v1/skill/report\_telemetry with a static bearer; the base URL is env-overridable and PIPPIT\_CLI\_DISABLE\_TELEMETRY=1 skips the send. - **Evidence against:** The downloaded CLI archive is the versioned GitHub release for this repo and is checksum-checked when checksums.txt is present., npx exec postinstall exits before download or skill install when PIPPIT\_CLI\_RUN is unset., ensure-cli.js fetches @pippit-dev/cli@latest with --ignore-scripts, so that path does not re-enter postinstall., Marketing API calls go through the local pippit-tool-cli login session; media downloads do not attach an API key. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @pippit-dev/cli@1.0.35. - Review the evidence and your use of @pippit-dev/cli@1.0.35 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.
