It can alter the interface shown after AI-provider sign-in without user consent. - **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:** 1.36.1 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Installation automatically modifies the OAuth callback page supplied by the PI AI dependency. The changed page is part of an AI authentication flow. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-01T07:44:17.393Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-01T07:45:46.470Z - **Download time:** 1015 ms - **Static scan time:** 12527 ms - **AI review time:** 75532 ms - **Total time:** 89077 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installation automatically modifies the OAuth callback page supplied by the PI AI dependency. The changed page is part of an AI authentication flow. - **Trigger:** npm installation runs the postinstall lifecycle hook. - **Impact:** It can alter the interface shown after AI-provider sign-in without user consent. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/brand-oauth-page.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-01T07:45:46.470Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** A lifecycle script rewrites a dependency's OAuth callback page with package-controlled branding. - **Attack narrative:** On npm install, package.json runs scripts/brand-oauth-page.mjs. That script locates the OAuth callback page belonging to @earendil-works/pi-ai, replaces its logo and title with Brigade-controlled content, and writes the altered page back. This is an unconsented install-time modification of a foreign AI authentication control surface. - **Rationale:** The package has a concrete automatic postinstall mutation of a foreign OAuth callback page. Under the lifecycle control-surface policy, this warrants blocking despite the lack of demonstrated network exfiltration. - **Files touched:** scripts/brand-oauth-page.mjs, scripts/assets/brigade-logo.webp, scripts/assets/brigade-favicon.ico, node\_modules/@earendil-works/pi-ai/utils/oauth/oauth-page.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The automatic postinstall hook executes a script that alters another package's OAuth callback page., The hook resolves the PI AI OAuth module, embeds Brigade-controlled image data, changes the callback-page title, and writes the result back., This occurs during installation without a user command or OAuth-flow consent. - **Evidence against:** The inspected postinstall script contains no outbound network request or credential collection., The mutation is limited to a named dependency callback page rather than a broad filesystem scan., Other inspected daemon, tunnel, extension, and Discord features are activated through runtime commands, not postinstall. ## Public findings ### 1.
