@playlist-tech/enterprise-skills@1.5.25-enterprise.3
An enterprise-customizable fork of Vercel Labs' skills CLI for internal skill registries.
AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThis is an explicit, environment-gated agent hook setup capability rather than confirmed autonomous malware. Its broad control-surface writes warrant a warning.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Run skills setup, or run skills add while SKILLS_HOOK_START_CMD is set.
Impact
A supplied command can persist in agent hooks and execute on configured prompt or stop events.
Mechanism
Environment-controlled AI-agent hook configuration writes.
AI rationale
This is an explicit, environment-gated agent hook setup capability rather than confirmed autonomous malware. Its broad control-surface writes warrant a warning.
Evidence
dist/cli.mjs~/.claude/settings.json~/.codex/hooks.json~/.cursor/hooks.json~/.copilot/hooks/skills.json
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 86.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The CLI can place environment-provided commands into AI-agent hook configuration files.
- The add command attempts to wire prompt hooks after installing skills, creating future command execution when hook variables are set.
- It targets several agent skill and hook locations, including Claude, Codex, Cursor, and Copilot.
Evidence against
- package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall script.
- Hook writes require an explicit CLI command and nonempty SKILLS_HOOK_* environment values.
- No source evidence shows credential harvesting, secret exfiltration, or remote payload execution by the package itself.
