On Pi-managed npm installation, the package silently overwrites existing global agent skill directories. The target is the broad ~/.agents/skills control surface rather than a package-private directory. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-24T12:19:17.701Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-24T12:20:04.268Z - **Download time:** 1528 ms - **Static scan time:** 392 ms - **AI review time:** 44646 ms - **Total time:** 46567 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** On Pi-managed npm installation, the package silently overwrites existing global agent skill directories. The target is the broad ~/.agents/skills control surface rather than a package-private directory. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall when installed under either recognized Pi npm root - **Impact:** Existing agent instructions/capabilities can be replaced without user approval. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/sync-global-skills.mjs, README.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-24T12:20:04.268Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** stages and replaces matching global AI-agent skills - **Attack narrative:** The automatic postinstall invokes sync-global-skills.mjs. When the package resides in a Pi-managed npm directory, it enumerates packaged skills and replaces every existing same-name real directory in ~/.agents/skills via staged copy, rename, and deletion. This mutates a broad global AI-agent control surface without an explicit user command; checking the package install location does not prove those global targets belong to this package. - **Rationale:** This is a concrete unconsented postinstall mutation of a foreign/broad AI-agent control surface. No separate exfiltration chain is needed for the blocking verdict. - **Files touched:** scripts/sync-global-skills.mjs, skills/, ~/.agents/skills/\ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs postinstall automatically., scripts/sync-global-skills.mjs targets ~/.agents/skills., It replaces pre-existing same-name skill directories using rename/rm., The Pi-managed-path check does not establish ownership of ~/.agents/skills targets. - **Evidence against:** Lifecycle script contains no network or credential collection., Global ~/.pi resource writes require an explicit Pi command., Zentui child-process use is bounded version probing. ## Public findings ### 1.
