Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. LPM treats this as warn-only first-party agent extension lifecycle risk. Postinstall can place the package’s shipped agent skill into the user’s Claude and Codex skills folders and register messaging tools. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-07T03:24:19.318Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-07T03:25:02.510Z - **Download time:** 1018 ms - **Static scan time:** 129 ms - **AI review time:** 42044 ms - **Total time:** 43192 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Postinstall can place the package’s shipped agent skill into the user’s Claude and Codex skills folders and register messaging tools. - **Trigger:** Installing or upgrading the package as the machine’s own supercode. - **Impact:** The harnesses gain package-owned skill instructions and messaging tools without a separate setup command. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-07T03:25:02.510Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The release module imports the skill installer and registration function; the installer copies its shipped skill folder into detected harness homes. - **Rationale:** The postinstall performs first-party agent extension setup by installing a shipped skill and registering messaging tools, which warrants a warning under the agent integration policy. The inspected source does not establish a concrete malicious chain, so this is not block-worthy. - **Files touched:** lib/release.mjs, lib/skills.mjs ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The manifest runs a postinstall script that invokes the release module., During postinstall, the machine’s own install calls the skill installer and registers messaging tools., The installer targets installed Claude and Codex homes and copies the package’s shipped skills into their skills folders., The installer preserves links, folders it did not create, and edited folders; this is first-party package-owned agent extension setup, so the lifecycle behavior warrants a warning under the agent integration policy. - **Evidence against:** The source shows one shipped skill folder and a guarded owner check before postinstall setup., The reviewed excerpts show no credential collection or unrelated network recipient tied to this setup. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @volter/supercode@0.5.251. - Review the evidence and your use of @volter/supercode@0.5.251 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
