MAX Messenger bots through the official Bot API, and a personal MAX account, from the terminal — built for agents and scripts
AI Security Review
scanned 6d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe Windows installer defaults to installing this package's skill into agent configuration directories during global installation. This is a real install-time agent extension side effect, so warn users before publishing.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A global install through the Windows installer, whose Agent option defaults to all.
Impact
The installed skill can affect agent context after installation, without the installer explicitly choosing which agent targets to modify.
Mechanism
The installer sets MAX_INSTALL_AGENT during npm install; postinstall then writes the skill under the user's .claude/skills and .agents/skills directories.
AI rationale
The Windows installer defaults to installing this package's skill into agent configuration directories during global installation. This is a real install-time agent extension side effect, so warn users before publishing.
Evidence
package.jsoninstall/windows.ps1dist/install/postinstall.js.lpm-dependency-evidence-3d1e7203-b86c-44a2-962b-23d996d41edf/0/npm-linux/dist/skill/index.js~/.claude/skills/max-cli/SKILL.md~/.agents/skills/max-cli/SKILL.md
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 88.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- package.json declares a postinstall hook that runs install/postinstall.mjs.
- The Windows installer defaults its Agent parameter to all and passes that choice into the npm install environment.
- For selected agents, the global postinstall hook installs the package's skill for Claude and/or agents.
- The skill helper creates target directories and writes SKILL.md files.
- The helper targets paths under the user's .claude/skills or .agents/skills directories.
Evidence against
- The postinstall script returns without setup unless the install is global; ordinary installs do not install the skill when MAX_INSTALL_AGENT is unset.
- The browser login code is invoked by the session command and uses a separate temporary browser profile that it removes after login.
