AI Security Review

scanned 11d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. An npm postinstall script changes the consuming workspace's OpenCode control surface. It adds agents, commands, and an enabled MCP configuration without an explicit user command.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; source fingerprint signature matched known malicious package; routed for review

Trigger

Installing the package through npm activates postinstall.

Impact

The package can alter AI-agent behavior and enable local MCP command execution in the consumer workspace.

Mechanism

The installer resolves the initiating workspace and copies package content into .opencode, including agent and command directories.

Policy narrative

On installation, the lifecycle hook targets the npm initiating workspace and writes OpenCode agents and commands. It also supplies enabled MCP command definitions. This is an unconsented install-time mutation of a broad AI-agent control surface.

AI rationale

The automatic lifecycle hook modifies the consumer's .opencode configuration and agent content. That is concrete install-hook abuse under the stated policy.

Evidence

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI identified this as a dangerous AI-agent capability at 96.0% confidence with false-positive risk.
