BingoCode - AI-powered coding assistant CLI built on Claude

AI Security Review

scanned 1d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The package mutates the Claude agent control surface at npm install time by installing a bundled skill into the user's global Claude skills directory. This makes package-supplied instructions available outside the package without an explicit user invocation.

Static reason

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

Trigger

npm install postinstall lifecycle

Impact

Persistent prompt/control-surface modification for Claude sessions; package can affect agent behavior beyond its own CLI.

Mechanism

unconsented global AI-agent skill installation

Attack narrative

On install, npm executes scripts/install-skills.cjs. That script enumerates package .claude/skills and copies each directory into the user's global Claude config under ~/.claude/skills. The bundled leanchy skill contains always-active response instructions, so installing the npm package silently persists package-supplied AI-agent instructions outside the package boundary.

Rationale

Direct source inspection confirms install-time writes to ~/.claude/skills, which is an AI-agent control surface, from a package lifecycle hook. Even without credential theft or exfiltration, unconsented persistent control-surface mutation is concrete malicious behavior under the review boundary.

Evidence

package.jsonscripts/install-skills.cjs.claude/skills/leanchy/SKILL.mdbin/claudebin/bingoconfig/bingo-defaults/settings.json~/.claude/skills/leanchy/SKILL.md~/.claude/bingo/settings.json

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Malicious at 94.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for block

package.json runs postinstall: node scripts/install-skills.cjs
scripts/install-skills.cjs copies bundled .claude/skills directories into user ~/.claude/skills during install
Bundled .claude/skills/leanchy/SKILL.md declares an always-active communication protocol until user says stop
package.json exposes bin name claude, which can shadow the official Claude CLI command
bin/claude and bin/bingo write config into ~/.claude/bingo/settings.json on first run

Evidence against

No install-time network call found in scripts/install-skills.cjs
Bundled skill content is prompt/style instructions, not credential theft code
Runtime network references are largely Claude/Anthropic/localhost-aligned for an AI CLI
No confirmed credential exfiltration or destructive filesystem logic found in inspected files
