Postinstall mutates several global AI-agent host surfaces without a separate setup command. The written assets are package-owned audit/remediation extensions with scoped permission rules; no confirmed exfiltration or remote execution chain was found. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-09T19:29:05.234Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-09T19:29:59.407Z - **Download time:** 1517 ms - **Static scan time:** 5862 ms - **AI review time:** 46793 ms - **Total time:** 54173 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Postinstall mutates several global AI-agent host surfaces without a separate setup command. The written assets are package-owned audit/remediation extensions with scoped permission rules; no confirmed exfiltration or remote execution chain was found. - **Trigger:** npm install of audit-tools - **Impact:** Adds globally available agent commands and modifies OpenCode configuration. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, scripts/audit/postinstall.mjs, scripts/remediate/postinstall.mjs, scripts/shared/install-host-assets.mjs, dist/shared/quota/codexQuotaSource.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-09T19:29:59.407Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** global AI-agent skill, plugin, command, and config deployment - **Rationale:** The automatic global host mutation is a real extension-lifecycle risk and warrants a warning. Source inspection does not establish malicious intent or a concrete attack chain. - **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, ~/.claude/commands/audit-code.md, ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json, ~/.gemini/config/plugins/audit-code/plugin.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs postinstall automatically., scripts/postinstall.mjs invokes both host installers., scripts/audit/postinstall.mjs writes global Codex, Claude, OpenCode, Gemini, and Claude plugin assets., Installers add scoped OpenCode command/permission rules. - **Evidence against:** No install-time network request or remote payload loading found., Installed assets are package-owned audit/remediation commands., OpenCode bash wildcard defaults to ask and destructive rm is denied., Quota credential reads target provider usage endpoints only during runtime. ## Public findings ### 1.
