@zaip-ai/cli@4.2.0
CLI oficial para instalar e configurar o ZAIP-AIOS em qualquer repositório
AI Security Review
scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThis is an explicit first-party installer that, by default, mutates the user's global Codex config when zaip init runs. That is a guarded agent-control capability with an opt-out, and it is not an unconsented install-hook hijack.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A user runs the zaip init command without --project-only.
Impact
The user's Codex client gains ZAIP pre-tool and related hooks outside the project tree. Project template files are also written under the chosen directory.
Mechanism
executeInit sets installGlobalCodexConfig, and installAgentsTemplate then calls reconcileGlobalCodexConfig, which replaces ZAIP-owned hook tables in config.toml.
AI rationale
This is an explicit first-party installer that, by default, mutates the user's global Codex config when zaip init runs. That is a guarded agent-control capability with an opt-out, and it is not an unconsented install-hook hijack.
Evidence
dist/commands/init.jsdist/services/install-agents-template.jsdist/services/global-codex-config.js.codex/config.toml
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 74.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The zaip init command, not an npm install hook, turns on global Codex config changes unless --project-only is set.
- After the project template is applied, reconcileGlobalCodexConfig writes CODEX_HOME or the user .codex/config.toml and installs ZAIP-owned hooks.
- package.json only publishes the zaip bin and build scripts; it has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook.
Evidence against
- Global Codex mutation is skipped when the user passes --project-only.
- Hook replacement is limited to ZAIP-owned hook spans and cataloged legacy agent tables, with a backup file.
- Runtime dependencies are only commander and yaml; the package does not depend on itself.
