It installs persistent skills, commands, plugins, and an OpenCode configuration without explicit user setup. - **Trigger:** npm install of audit-tools@0.39.0 - **Impact:** Unconsented persistent control-surface changes across Codex, Claude, OpenCode, and Gemini/Antigravity; runtime quota code can transmit a locally obtained access token. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, scripts/audit/postinstall.mjs, scripts/remediate/postinstall.mjs, scripts/shared/install-host-assets.mjs, dist/shared/quota/antigravityQuotaSource.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-08T09:06:46.795Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall global AI-agent configuration and skill deployment - **Attack narrative:** Installing the package automatically invokes two deployers that write and overwrite global agent skills, commands, plugins, and merged OpenCode configuration in the user home directory. These are foreign, broad AI-agent control surfaces and are changed before any explicit audit-tools command. Separately, runtime quota code can read an Antigravity token from its local SQLite state database and send it to a Google endpoint. - **Rationale:** Source inspection confirms unconsented postinstall mutation of several foreign global AI-agent control surfaces, which meets the blocking policy. The token-handling runtime path further increases impact but is not needed for the verdict. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.mjs, scripts/audit/postinstall.mjs, scripts/remediate/postinstall.mjs, scripts/shared/install-host-assets.mjs, ~/.codex/skills/audit-code/SKILL.md, ~/.codex/skills/remediate-code/SKILL.md, ~/.claude/commands/audit-code.md, ~/.claude/commands/remediate-code.md, ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json, ~/.gemini/config/plugins/audit-code, ~/.gemini/config/plugins/remediate-code - **Network endpoints:** https://cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com/v1internal:fetchAvailableModels ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs scripts/postinstall.mjs on install., scripts/audit/postinstall.mjs writes global Claude, Codex, OpenCode, Gemini, and Claude-plugin assets., scripts/remediate/postinstall.mjs likewise installs global agent commands and skills without a user command., install-host-assets.mjs creates parent directories and overwrites generated files., dist/shared/quota/antigravityQuotaSource.js reads an Antigravity token from state.vscdb and sends it to Google. - **Evidence against:** OpenCode defaults its wildcard bash permission to ask and denies rm., The quota request is runtime/opt-in rather than executed by postinstall. ## Public findings ### 1.
