This is an unconsented broad control-surface mutation. - **Trigger:** npm installation of @softize/opus. - **Impact:** It can alter AI-agent behavior and repository hook execution without an explicit user command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/lib/postinstall.mjs, bin/lib/materialize.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-12T08:46:39.532Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Postinstall materializes agent skills, a Claude Stop hook, settings, and Git hooks in the consumer project. - **Attack narrative:** The package's postinstall invokes initialization in the consuming project. That initializer writes skills into agent directories, installs a Claude Stop hook, and changes .claude/settings.json to execute the hook when an agent stops. It also materializes Git hooks and can configure Git's hooks path. These changes occur automatically during installation rather than through an explicit setup command, giving the package control over foreign agent and repository behavior. - **Rationale:** The automatic lifecycle script mutates broad AI-agent and repository control surfaces in a consumer project. This meets the install-hook abuse blocking policy despite no observed exfiltration. - **Files touched:** .agents/skills/, .claude/skills/, .claude/hooks/opus-check-on-stop.mjs, .claude/settings.json, .githooks/, .git/config ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The package automatically runs a postinstall script., The postinstall initializes the consuming project during dependency installation., The initializer copies package skills into both generic and Claude agent directories and installs a Claude hook., The initializer adds a command to the consumer's Claude Stop hooks., The initializer also configures project Git hooks. - **Evidence against:** No credential collection or network exfiltration was found in the inspected lifecycle path., The installed hook runs a local package check and is fail-open for infrastructure errors., No runtime dependency on another release of this package was declared. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @softize/opus@17.2.0. - Avoid installing @softize/opus@17.2.0. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
