A package install can establish AI-agent configuration and future command execution in a consumer project without an explicit setup command. - **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:** 0.6.0 - **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 automatic install hook mutates the consumer project's OpenCode control surface. It installs agent and command content and can create an enabled MCP configuration that invokes external packages through npx. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-27T16:10:56.780Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-27T16:11:59.892Z - **Download time:** 1019 ms - **Static scan time:** 102 ms - **AI review time:** 61990 ms - **Total time:** 63112 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

It installs agent and command content and can create an enabled MCP configuration that invokes external packages through npx. - **Trigger:** Installing the package through npm. - **Impact:** A package install can establish AI-agent configuration and future command execution in a consumer project without an explicit setup command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install.js, opencode.tera.example.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-27T16:11:59.892Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The postinstall hook runs the installer, which writes under the target workspace .opencode directory and adds enabled MCP commands. - **Attack narrative:** On npm installation, the postinstall hook runs an installer against the consumer workspace. The installer populates the consumer's .opencode agents and commands and creates an OpenCode MCP configuration if none exists. That configuration enables commands using npx, causing external packages to be resolved when the agent control surface is used. This is an unconsented install-time mutation of a broad AI-agent control surface. - **Rationale:** The automatic postinstall writes enabled OpenCode configuration and agent content into the consuming project. This meets the install-control-surface blocking policy despite preserving an existing configuration. - **Files touched:** .opencode/opencode.json, .opencode/agents, .opencode/commands ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** The package runs scripts/install.js automatically through a postinstall hook., The installer targets the consumer workspace and creates .opencode/opencode.json when absent., The installer also places package agents and commands in the consumer .opencode directory., The created OpenCode configuration enables MCP commands that invoke npx packages automatically. - **Evidence against:** The installer preserves a pre-existing opencode.json instead of overwriting it., No credential harvesting or outbound exfiltration was identified in the inspected installer. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @tera-system/core@0.6.0. - Avoid installing @tera-system/core@0.6.0. 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.
