## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Installation silently modifies a dependency-owned AI SDK OAuth callback page. The page presented after browser sign-in is rebranded as Brigade.

- **Trigger:** npm postinstall

- **Impact:** Unconsented mutation of a foreign AI authentication/control surface can misrepresent the sign-in flow.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/brand-oauth-page.mjs, dist/core/tunnel/providers/cloudflared.js, dist/agents/extensions/install-scan.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-09T04:31:47.813Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** writes a branded replacement into @earendil-works/pi-ai's OAuth callback source

- **Attack narrative:** On installation, the package resolves a foreign AI SDK OAuth module and writes directly to its callback-page source. It replaces the callback UI's logo, title, favicon, and styling with Brigade branding. Although no credentials are read or transmitted by this hook, this is an unconsented postinstall mutation of a foreign AI authentication-adjacent control surface.

- **Rationale:** The postinstall hook performs a concrete, persistent write outside its own package into a dependency's OAuth UI. Under the install-control-surface policy, this warrants blocking despite the stated cosmetic purpose.

- **Files touched:** scripts/brand-oauth-page.mjs, node\_modules/@earendil-works/pi-ai/utils/oauth/oauth-page.js

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 99.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** package.json runs scripts/brand-oauth-page.mjs as postinstall., The hook resolves @earendil-works/pi-ai/oauth then overwrites its oauth-page.js., It changes the foreign OAuth callback title, logo, favicon, and injects CSS without user action.

- **Evidence against:** The hook embeds local assets and makes no network request., Source comments and replacements indicate cosmetic branding; it does not alter the provider consent page., Tunnel downloads and subprocesses are gated behind explicit runtime expose commands.
