Neither remote artifact has an integrity check in the inspected hook. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-01T18:32:18.150Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-01T18:33:08.668Z - **Download time:** 765 ms - **Static scan time:** 60 ms - **AI review time:** 49692 ms - **Total time:** 50518 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Npm installation retrieves a mutable remote binary archive and installs unpinned Python packages automatically. Neither remote artifact has an integrity check in the inspected hook. - **Trigger:** Installing the npm package with lifecycle scripts enabled. - **Impact:** A compromised or substituted release server or Python package can affect the installing user's environment. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-01T18:33:08.668Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Postinstall remote binary download, extraction, and pip installation. - **Rationale:** This package has a real install-time supply-chain risk through mutable remote artifacts and automatic pip installation. The visible code does not establish malicious intent or a completed credential-exfiltration or control-hijacking chain. - **Files touched:** bin/tfcode, bin/app - **Network endpoints:** https://gitea.toothfairyai.com/api/v1/repos/ToothFairyAI/tf\_code/releases/latest, https://gitea.toothfairyai.com/ToothFairyAI/tf\_code/releases/download/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** An automatic postinstall hook runs on npm installation., The hook fetches a mutable latest release version from the vendor server., It downloads and extracts an unsigned remote archive with curl, tar, or unzip., The hook automatically invokes pip to install several unpinned Python packages into the user environment. - **Evidence against:** The installer source is readable and performs platform-specific binary selection., No source-inspected code harvests local credentials or writes AI-agent configuration files., The Python integration reads declared ToothFairyAI credentials only for its SDK client. ## Public findings ### 1.

Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review - **Category:** Artifact Inventory - **Confidence:** 95.0% Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean. ### 11. High: Previous Version Dangerous Delta - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Path:** bin/tfcode.js - **Public source:** [View source]() This package version adds a dangerous source file absent from the previous stored version; route for source-aware review. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript matchType = previous_version_dangerous_delta matchedPackage = @toothfairyai/tfcode@2.0.0 matchedIdentity = npm:QHRvb3RoZmFpcnlhaS90ZmNvZGU:2.0.0 similarity = 0.500 summary = stored previous version shares package body but lacks this dangerous source file ``` ### 12. Medium: Suspicious Lifecycle Evidence - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() An automatic postinstall hook runs on npm installation. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json "scripts": { "postinstall": "node ./postinstall.mjs" } ``` ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** Yes - **Published lifecycle scripts:** postinstall - **Dependencies:** 0 - **Optional dependencies:** 12 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 0 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 12 ### Published dependency entries - @toothfairyai/tfcode-darwin-arm64 2.3.0 (OptionalDependency) - @toothfairyai/tfcode-darwin-x64 2.3.0 (OptionalDependency) - @toothfairyai/tfcode-darwin-x64-baseline 2.3.0 (OptionalDependency) - @toothfairyai/tfcode-linux-arm64 2.3.0 (OptionalDependency) - @toothfairyai/tfcode-linux-arm64-musl 2.3.0 (OptionalDependency) - @toothfairyai/tfcode-linux-x64 2.3.0 (OptionalDependency) - @toothfairyai/tfcode-linux-x64-baseline 2.3.0 (OptionalDependency) - @toothfairyai/tfcode-linux-x64-baseline-musl 2.3.0 (OptionalDependency) - @toothfairyai/tfcode-linux-x64-musl 2.3.0 (OptionalDependency) - @toothfairyai/tfcode-windows-arm64 2.3.0 (OptionalDependency) - @toothfairyai/tfcode-windows-x64 2.3.0 (OptionalDependency) - @toothfairyai/tfcode-windows-x64-baseline 2.3.0 (OptionalDependency) ## Package metadata - **Package:** @toothfairyai/tfcode - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 2.3.0 - **License:** MIT - **Version published:** 2026-08-31T08:32:31.277Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-07-01T10:45:45.743Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-09-01T18:42:08.382Z - **Known versions:** 14 - **Latest version:** 2.3.0 - **Appeal under review:** No - **Description:** \*\*ToothFairyAI's AI coding agent\*\* — a command-line interface that brings AI-powered coding assistance to your terminal with deep ToothFairyAI workspace integration. - **Maintainers:** toothfairyai - **Runtime engines:** node: \>=18 - **Artifact files:** 10 - **Artifact unpacked size:** 40,461 bytes - **Artifact signatures:** 1 - **Attestations:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [Repository]() - [Homepage]()
