Runtime service persistence exists only through an explicit package CLI command. - **Trigger:** npm preinstall/postinstall; explicit \`awsb service install\` at runtime. - **Impact:** Unexpected package-manager and large browser-download activity during install; explicit runtime command can create a persistent service. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/ensure-build-tools.mjs, scripts/ensure-playwright-browser.mjs, dist/services/cli-commands.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-13T01:20:41.322Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** install-hook host provisioning and user-invoked bridge-service registration - **Rationale:** The package has materially intrusive install hooks, warranting a warning, but source inspection does not establish malicious intent or a concrete theft/control-hijack chain. Its persistence feature is explicit user-command behavior rather than unconsented lifecycle persistence. - **Files touched:** scripts/ensure-build-tools.mjs, scripts/ensure-playwright-browser.mjs, dist/services/cli-commands.js, /etc/systemd/system/awsb.service, ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.agentsworkstudio.awsb.plist, ~/.aws-bridge/log - **Network endpoints:** https://npmmirror.com/mirrors/playwright ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** Install hooks execute privileged system mutation: preinstall installs missing build tools through a detected OS package manager when run as root., Postinstall automatically invokes Playwright to download Chromium and, as root on Linux, requests browser system dependencies., The runtime includes explicit service-install commands that persist its own bridge as systemd, launchd, or Windows services. - **Evidence against:** Lifecycle scripts target declared build-tool, executable-bit, and Playwright browser setup functions., Browser download can be skipped with AWS\_BRIDGE\_SKIP\_PLAYWRIGHT\_INSTALL=1 and failures only warn., Service persistence is behind the explicit \`awsb service install\` command, not an install hook., Inspected sources show no credential harvesting, secret exfiltration, remote payload execution, or foreign AI-agent configuration mutation. ## Public findings ### 1.
