The package can alter AI-agent behavior and enable local MCP command execution in the consumer workspace. - **Verdict:** AI-agent control-surface policy finding - **Product-default install policy:** Warn by default; block when configured - **Firewall policy:** Warn by default - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Soft block: AI-agent control surface - **Selected version:** 0.4.1 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This finding concerns changes to an AI agent's instructions or configuration without explicit user action. It does not by itself establish malware intent. The CLI warns by default and blocks when configured for this policy. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-28T04:02:19.231Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-28T04:04:27.676Z - **Download time:** 1032 ms - **Static scan time:** 74 ms - **AI review time:** 127338 ms - **Total time:** 128445 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

It adds agents, commands, and an enabled MCP configuration without an explicit user command. - **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. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install.js, opencode.tera.example.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-28T04:04:27.676Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The installer resolves the initiating workspace and copies package content into .opencode, including agent and command directories. - **Attack 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. - **Rationale:** The automatic lifecycle hook modifies the consumer's .opencode configuration and agent content. That is concrete install-hook abuse under the stated policy. - **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/install.js, opencode.tera.example.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** The package defines an automatic postinstall launcher., The launcher selects the npm initiating workspace through INIT\_CWD., The launcher installs agent and command files into that workspace's .opencode directory., The installed OpenCode configuration enables MCP commands that invoke npx packages. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @tera-system/core@0.4.1. - Avoid installing @tera-system/core@0.4.1. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
