Can alter the UI shown after AI-provider browser sign-in and persists in the installed dependency tree. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Warn by default - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Soft block: AI-agent control surface - **Selected version:** 1.35.3 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Installing the package automatically modifies a foreign AI SDK's OAuth callback page. This changes a sign-in-adjacent user interface inside a dependency without consent. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-01T07:09:38.217Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-01T07:10:35.382Z - **Download time:** 1031 ms - **Static scan time:** 12605 ms - **AI review time:** 43526 ms - **Total time:** 57165 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installing the package automatically modifies a foreign AI SDK's OAuth callback page. This changes a sign-in-adjacent user interface inside a dependency without consent. - **Trigger:** npm installation, through the postinstall lifecycle hook - **Impact:** Can alter the UI shown after AI-provider browser sign-in and persists in the installed dependency tree. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/brand-oauth-page.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-01T07:10:35.382Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall rewrite of a foreign OAuth callback module - **Attack narrative:** On installation, package.json launches scripts/brand-oauth-page.mjs. The script resolves @earendil-works/pi-ai/oauth, locates its OAuth callback page, replaces its logo, title, favicon, and styles, then writes the result back into the dependency. The mutation occurs automatically rather than through an explicit Brigade command. - **Rationale:** This is an unconsented postinstall mutation of a foreign AI SDK's sign-in-adjacent control surface. Although the script has no observed exfiltration or network behavior, its automatic dependency rewrite warrants blocking. - **Files touched:** node\_modules/@earendil-works/pi-ai/utils/oauth/oauth-page.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The automatic postinstall hook runs a package script during installation., That script resolves a foreign AI SDK OAuth module and rewrites its callback page., The rewrite inserts Brigade branding and writes the changed dependency file without user action. - **Evidence against:** No network request, credential collection, or shell execution is present in the postinstall script., The change is limited to the resolved OAuth callback page and is guarded by existence checks. ## Public findings ### 1.
