This remains warn-only unless evidence shows foreign-agent hijack through preinstall/install/postinstall, hidden persistence, exfiltration, remote code execution, or other concrete malicious behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-05T01:14:10.408Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-05T01:15:14.924Z - **Download time:** 1026 ms - **Static scan time:** 298 ms - **AI review time:** 63188 ms - **Total time:** 64516 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** This is an explicit project-scaffolding command that installs agent configuration, hooks, and a plugin. The deployed components can alter future AI-agent permissions and run local helper scripts. - **Trigger:** A user runs the techieflow bin command, then uses the installed framework or its goal runner. - **Impact:** A user who installs and enables YOLO mode can allow agent Bash actions without individual prompts; no automatic npm-install trigger or exfiltration was confirmed. - **Evidence paths:** scripts/install.mjs, .opencode/plugin/techieflow.js, .tfcore/utils/tf-goal.sh - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-05T01:15:14.924Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Project-local AI-agent configuration and permission automation. - **Rationale:** The package is not malicious by the install-hook policy because it has no automatic registry-install lifecycle action. It warrants a warning because its explicit installer deploys agent control surfaces and includes an unattended permission-bypass capability. - **Files touched:** .tfcore/, .claude/commands/, .claude/settings.json, .opencode/plugin/techieflow.js, .opencode/opencode.jsonc, .codex/config.toml, .codex/hooks.json, .agents/skills/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The explicit CLI installer deploys Codex hooks and an OpenCode plugin into the selected project., The shipped goal runner can start Claude with bypassed permissions or OpenCode in automatic mode., When its YOLO flag is active, the OpenCode plugin changes Bash permission requests to allow. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no install, preinstall, or postinstall hook; its only lifecycle script is prepublishOnly., The installer is a bin command, so deployment requires an explicit user invocation., No credential harvesting, secret exfiltration, remote payload download, or network request was found in the inspected executable sources. ## Public findings ### 1.
