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. This is an explicit-user-command AI-agent skill installer, not an unconsented install-time control-surface mutation. Warn users about the broad agent-capability change, but do not block publication. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-28T09:02:22.022Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-28T09:03:45.160Z - **Download time:** 2793 ms - **Static scan time:** 4514 ms - **AI review time:** 75829 ms - **Total time:** 83138 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:** A user running the installer can add managed skill directories to supported AI-agent skill locations. No install lifecycle hook performs this action automatically. - **Trigger:** An explicit invocation of the package installer with a target or selected skills. - **Impact:** Installed skill content can influence later agent behavior; the reviewed installer does not itself steal data or execute the copied skill content. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, tools/bin/install.js, tools/lib/aas-v1/cache/update.js, tools/bin/aas.js, tools/bin/aas-mcp.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-28T09:03:45.160Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Clone a repository and stage-copy selected skill directories into agent skill paths. - **Rationale:** This is an explicit-user-command AI-agent skill installer, not an unconsented install-time control-surface mutation. Warn users about the broad agent-capability change, but do not block publication. - **Files touched:** tools/bin/install.js, tools/lib/aas-v1/cache/update.js - **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills.git, https://registry.npmjs.org ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** Its user-invoked installer can copy selected skill content into several AI-agent skill directories., The installer clones the package repository before copying the selected entries, so it imports remote skill content into those agent directories., The package also provides a registry updater, but it pins the npm origin and verifies tarball integrity. - **Evidence against:** package.json contains no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook., The agent-directory changes require an explicit CLI invocation and target or selection handling; they do not occur on package installation., Source uses path validation, staging, and a managed-entry manifest before replacing installed skill entries., No credential harvesting, secret exfiltration, hidden payload execution, or unconsented install-time agent-control mutation was found in inspected entrypoints. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to agentic-awesome-skills@16.3.0. - Review the evidence and your use of agentic-awesome-skills@16.3.0 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.
