OpenSSF Malicious Packages via OSV

Summary

Malicious code in agentic-awesome-skills (npm)

Details

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.

Independent LPM AI assessment

Suspicious

Independent AI assessment: suspicious. LPM AI assessed this version as suspicious; the assessments disagree.

The verified concern is the capability expansion from installing a broad agent skill catalog through the CLI. Its user-invoked, package-aligned setup supports a warning rather than a malicious verdict.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.

Trigger

A user runs the package installer for an agent target; an unfiltered install for some targets selects the full catalog.

Impact

The installed skills can expand the capabilities available to the agent, so users may add skills they did not individually review.

Mechanism

The CLI fetches a release and copies skills into the selected agent skill directory, updating managed entries and its install manifest.

AI rationale

Evidence

package.jsontools/bin/install.js~/.agents/skills~/.cursor/skills

Independent scan evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 83.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for AI warning decision

The manifest exposes the installer as a command-line executable.
Directly running the installer invokes its main routine.
The installer selects agent skill directories, including the required target location and the Antigravity skills directory.
Installation copies skills to the target, prunes removed managed entries, and writes an install manifest.
The Antigravity target requires a selection or explicit install-all option.
The installer warns that an unfiltered catalog can include offensive and unknown-risk skills.

Evidence against

The inspected behavior is activated through an explicit command-line invocation; no npm lifecycle hook was found in the manifest.
The installer presents a preview option and limits Antigravity installs unless a selection or explicit install-all option is supplied.
