LPM AI assessed this version as suspicious; the assessments disagree. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Trusted malware advisory block - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Malware - **Selected version:** 18.10.0 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** OpenSSF/OSV Malicious Advisory (OpenSSF/OSV) OpenSSF/OSV malware advisory MAL-2026-18192 identifies this version as malicious and supplies the Firewall block. LPM AI assessed this version as suspicious; the assessments disagree. Independent AI assessment: suspicious. LPM AI assessed this version as suspicious; the assessments disagree. OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-18192 confirms this npm version as malicious. Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-22T19:30:50.442Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-22T19:33:07.711Z - **Download time:** 5165 ms - **Static scan time:** 5666 ms - **AI review time:** 126435 ms - **Total time:** 137269 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:** The user-invoked installer changes agent skill directories and removes stale managed entries. This supports a capability warning; no confirmed malicious attack was established. - **Trigger:** Explicit invocation of the installer CLI without dry-run. - **Impact:** Changes the instructions available to an agent and can replace or remove previously managed skill files. - **Evidence paths:** tools/bin/install.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-22T19:33:07.711Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Clone package-owned skills, install them into selected agent directories, prune managed entries, and write an installation manifest. - **Rationale:** Source shows explicit user-command mutation of AI-agent skill directories, which warrants a capability warning under the supplied policy. No automatic npm lifecycle mutation or concrete malicious behavior was established. - **Files touched:** .claude/skills, .cursor/skills, .codex/skills, .agents/skills - **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills.git, https://registry.npmjs.org ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for AI warning decision:** package.json exposes tools/bin/install.js as a user-invoked CLI., The installer targets agent skill directories, including .claude/skills., Installation writes skills, prunes previously managed entries, and updates a manifest., The apply path calls installForTarget unless dry-run is selected., Destination checks reject symlinks and enforce safe paths., Repository cloning is followed by release identity verification when a release version is selected. - **Evidence against:** No npm preinstall, install, or postinstall hook or runtime self-dependency appears in package.json., Inspected API examples send service tokens to their intended service hosts., The inspected Electron driver uses explicit commands and loopback communication. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to agentic-awesome-skills@18.10.0. - Avoid installing agentic-awesome-skills@18.10.0. 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.
