Common build scripts and files
AI Security Review
scanned 4d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe install-time script silently wires a later build to replace project-level agent instructions using a remotely supplied archive. This is a first-party agent-setup risk warranting a warning, but the inspected source does not establish malicious archive content or a confirmed attack.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Package installation runs the postinstall file sync; running the resulting build command activates the updater.
Impact
Project-level agent behavior may be changed by remotely supplied instructions without a separate setup confirmation.
Mechanism
The updater checks a remote version, downloads an archive from htmlcodeplay.com, deletes the existing AGENTS directory, and copies the archive’s instructions into AGENTS.md and AGENTS/.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 91.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The updater targets the project-root AGENTS.md and AGENTS directory, using a version marker.
- package.json defines automatic preinstall and postinstall hooks.
- The postinstall script copies package files into the project root, rewrites the consumer build script, and saves the changed package.json.
- The build script calls the updater, which downloads a versioned agent-instructions archive from htmlcodeplay.com when a newer version is available.
- The updater removes the existing AGENTS directory and copies the downloaded instructions into AGENTS.md and AGENTS/.
Evidence against
- The downloaded archive is not included in this snapshot, so its instruction content and any malicious behavior are unverified.
