Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installation automatically modifies a user-wide OpenCode control surface. It registers an enabled MCP server and installs package-controlled skills. - **Trigger:** Installing the package with npm lifecycle scripts enabled. - **Impact:** The package changes the agent configuration and adds instructions that OpenCode can load without an explicit setup command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/cli/setup.js, dist/cli/install-skills.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-07T11:35:53.602Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Postinstall registration of an MCP command and copying of agent skills. - **Attack narrative:** During installation, the lifecycle hook invokes modules that alter the user's OpenCode configuration and copy package-supplied skills into OpenCode's global skill directory. The configuration enables a local MCP command named tutor-mcp. These changes occur without an explicit user setup action and affect a broad AI-agent control surface. - **Rationale:** The package contains an automatic postinstall path that mutates a foreign, user-wide AI-agent configuration and installs agent skills. This is concrete unconsented install-hook abuse under the stated policy. - **Files touched:** ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json, ~/.config/opencode/skills/\/SKILL.md, dist/cli/setup.js, dist/cli/install-skills.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The postinstall hook loads both the OpenCode configuration writer and skill installer without a user command., The setup module edits the user-wide OpenCode configuration and registers an enabled local MCP command., The installer copies package-provided skills into the user-wide OpenCode skills directory. - **Evidence against:** No runtime dependency on another release of this package is declared., The inspected install modules do not contain credential exfiltration or destructive file deletion. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @z2h-academy/tutor@0.5.11. - Avoid installing @z2h-academy/tutor@0.5.11. 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.
