codeplay-common@4.7.3
Common build scripts and files
AI Security Review
scanned 4d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe source establishes an unapproved, build-triggered update to project-level AI agent instructions. Because it is deferred to a later explicit build command and the archive contents are unknown, this warrants a warning rather than a block.
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
A consumer runs the build command after installation has rewritten the project's build script.
Impact
Future AI agent sessions may follow changed project instructions; the archive contents were not available for this static review.
Mechanism
The build script checks for a newer instruction version, downloads its archive, and replaces the project AGENTS directory and AGENTS.md without a visible approval step.
AI rationale
The source establishes an unapproved, build-triggered update to project-level AI agent instructions. Because it is deferred to a later explicit build command and the archive contents are unknown, this warrants a warning rather than a block.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 88.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The manifest runs cleanup before installation and project synchronization after installation.
- Synchronization copies package files into the consumer project and rewrites its build command to run the copied build script.
- The build script targets project-root agent instruction files and, when a newer version is available, downloads an archive from htmlcodeplay.com.
- On a later build, it replaces the project AGENTS directory and writes a new AGENTS.md without a visible approval step.
Evidence against
- The agent instruction update runs from the build script, not directly from either lifecycle hook.
- The archive is limited to instruction files and supporting files; the source checks archive paths before staging them.
