AI Security Review

scanned 1d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Installing the package automatically installs a global AI agent CLI if none is detected. Later use starts agent CLIs with approval bypasses enabled by default.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review

Trigger

npm installation on a machine without a supported AI CLI

Impact

Mutates the user's global command environment without consent and enables later automated agents to act with reduced permission safeguards.

Mechanism

Postinstall global AI CLI installation followed by permissive agent execution

Attack narrative

The package lifecycle hook runs on installation and calls setup code. If it cannot find a supported AI CLI, it executes a global npm installation of opencode-ai. The application then configures OpenCode with automatic approval by default and Claude with a permission-skipping option. This is an unconsented install-time mutation of a broad AI-agent control surface, not merely an explicit user setup command.

Rationale

The package performs an automatic postinstall global installation of an AI agent CLI and later defaults that agent layer to reduced approval safeguards. This meets the install-hook abuse boundary for an unconsented broad AI-agent control-surface mutation.
