Installation silently modifies several global AI-agent command/skill/config locations and the consuming repo’s .gitignore. This is a package-owned extension deployment, but it occurs automatically at npm postinstall. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-09T06:48:47.023Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-09T06:49:42.514Z - **Download time:** 1011 ms - **Static scan time:** 4348 ms - **AI review time:** 50131 ms - **Total time:** 55491 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installation silently modifies several global AI-agent command/skill/config locations and the consuming repo’s .gitignore. This is a package-owned extension deployment, but it occurs automatically at npm postinstall. - **Trigger:** npm install of audit-tools@0.35.3 - **Impact:** Adds package-controlled prompts, skills, commands, and limited permission rules to installed AI-agent hosts. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, scripts/audit/postinstall.mjs, scripts/remediate/postinstall.mjs, scripts/shared/install-host-assets.mjs, dist/shared/io/gitignoreArtifacts.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-09T06:49:42.514Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall deployment of global agent assets and merged OpenCode configuration - **Rationale:** The automatic global AI-agent integration and repository mutation are a real lifecycle risk, but inspected source supports a first-party package-owned setup rather than concrete malicious behavior. Warn rather than block under the stated policy. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.mjs, scripts/audit/postinstall.mjs, scripts/remediate/postinstall.mjs, scripts/shared/install-host-assets.mjs, dist/shared/io/gitignoreArtifacts.js, ~/.claude/commands/audit-code.md, ~/.claude/commands/remediate-code.md, ~/.codex/skills/audit-code/SKILL.md, ~/.codex/skills/remediate-code/SKILL.md, ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json, ~/.gemini/config/plugins/audit-code/plugin.json, ~/.gemini/config/plugins/remediate-code/plugin.json, .gitignore ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs scripts/postinstall.mjs automatically., scripts/audit/postinstall.mjs writes global Claude, Codex, OpenCode, Gemini, and Claude Desktop assets., scripts/remediate/postinstall.mjs similarly seeds global agent commands and skills., scripts/postinstall.mjs also updates the consuming repository’s .gitignore., Runtime quota modules read local provider credentials for service-specific usage probes. - **Evidence against:** Postinstall source performs no network requests or payload download., Installed assets are named audit-code/remediate-code and are package-owned., OpenCode permissions default wildcards to ask and deny rm., Credential-bearing requests target the corresponding provider usage endpoints, not an unrelated collector., No obfuscated payload, eval, or stealth persistence was found in inspected paths. ## Public findings ### 1.
