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 manifest’s prepare hook performs Husky setup, while agent prompt-hook mutation is gated by an environment-supplied command and the user-run installation flow. This is a guarded agent configuration capability, so it warrants a warning but does not establish malicious behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-12T00:12:24.115Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-12T00:13:00.379Z - **Download time:** 1010 ms - **Static scan time:** 1353 ms - **AI review time:** 33900 ms - **Total time:** 36264 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 CLI can write a prompt hook into a supported agent’s settings during skill installation. - **Trigger:** A user runs the CLI skill installation command while SKILLS\_HOOK\_START\_CMD is set to a nonempty command containing the skill name placeholder. - **Impact:** The configured command may run when the agent handles a prompt for the installed skill; the command is externally supplied and this source does not show covert activation. - **Evidence paths:** dist/cli.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-12T00:13:00.379Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI substitutes skill and agent values into that command and stores it in the agent’s prompt hook configuration. - **Rationale:** The manifest’s prepare hook performs Husky setup, while agent prompt-hook mutation is gated by an environment-supplied command and the user-run installation flow. This is a guarded agent configuration capability, so it warrants a warning but does not establish malicious behavior. - **Files touched:** dist/cli.mjs ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The package’s prepare hook runs Husky setup; prepublishOnly builds the package., The CLI reads an optional SKILLS\_HOOK\_START\_CMD and only wires a prompt hook when that value exists and contains the skill name placeholder., During the CLI skill installation flow, it can add a prompt hook for each selected skill and target agent; writing the hook updates that agent’s settings file. - **Evidence against:** No automatic install lifecycle hook is present in the inspected manifest; agent settings mutation is gated on an environment-provided command and reached through the CLI install flow. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @playlist-tech/enterprise-skills@1.7.1-enterprise.5. - Review the evidence and your use of @playlist-tech/enterprise-skills@1.7.1-enterprise.5 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.
