It can install enabled MCP command definitions without an explicit setup command. - **Trigger:** npm installation, which runs postinstall. - **Impact:** A package installation can establish and enable AI-agent capabilities in a consumer project, including npx-resolved MCP commands. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install.js, opencode.tera.example.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-28T22:22:07.617Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Postinstall copies agent files, commands, configuration, tools, and assets into the initiating workspace. - **Attack narrative:** npm invokes scripts/install.js automatically. The script targets INIT\_CWD, populates .opencode with agents and commands, and writes an OpenCode configuration if none exists. That configuration enables MCP commands through npx -y, creating a broad AI-agent control surface in the consumer project without an explicit setup action. - **Rationale:** This is an unconsented postinstall mutation of a foreign AI-agent control surface, including enabled command definitions. Conflict protection does not remove the risk because a new workspace receives the configuration and agent content automatically. - **Files touched:** .opencode/agents/, .opencode/commands/, .opencode/opencode.json, .opencode/opencode.tera.example.json, .opencode/tera-core.manifest.json, tera-system/, tools/, project-control/, tera-workshop/, .tera/license.state.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 97.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** A postinstall hook automatically runs the workspace-mutating installer., The installer selects npm's initiating directory as its target without requiring a user command., It installs agent and command files into the target's .opencode directory., It creates an OpenCode configuration when absent, enabling MCP commands that use npx -y., It also copies tools, assets, and package-owned governance files into the consumer workspace. - **Evidence against:** The installer preserves conflicting existing files and makes backups before updating files it considers owned., No source evidence shows credential exfiltration, remote payload download, or hidden shell execution during installation., The configured Structurizr service is disabled and points only to localhost. ## Public findings ### 1.
