AI Security Review

scanned 26d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Installation automatically replaces dependencies inside the pi-coding-agent dependency tree. It bypasses the normal resolved dependency graph by deleting and downloading code during postinstall.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

Installing the package with npm lifecycle scripts enabled.

Impact

It can alter the code loaded by the installed coding agent and leave it damaged if the replacement install fails.

Mechanism

Postinstall deletion and npm replacement of a foreign agent dependency.

Attack narrative

npm executes the package's postinstall hook automatically. The hook removes two packages from the nested pi-coding-agent dependency tree, invokes npm to fetch fixed versions into temporary directories, then moves the fetched code into the agent tree. This unconsented lifecycle-time mutation changes foreign agent runtime code outside npm's normal dependency resolution and can corrupt that tree on failure.

AI rationale

The package has a concrete automatic install-time chain that deletes and replaces dependencies of a foreign coding agent. Fixed versions and disabled scripts reduce payload risk but do not make this unconsented integrity-changing lifecycle hook safe.

Previous Version Dangerous Delta

This package version adds a dangerous source file absent from the previous stored version; route for source-aware review.
