codeplay-common@4.7.7
Common build scripts and files
AI Security Review
scanned 4d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe source supports a warning for automatic project agent-instruction replacement during builds. The behavior is package-service aligned and not directly triggered by the install hooks, so the inspected evidence does not establish a publish-blocking 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
The project’s build command runs after postinstall has wired in the copied build script, and the remote instruction version is newer.
Impact
The remote service can change instructions consumed by project agents; the inspected source does not reveal the archive contents.
Mechanism
The script fetches a versioned archive from htmlcodeplay.com, then replaces AGENTS.md and recursively replaces the AGENTS directory with archive contents.
AI rationale
The source supports a warning for automatic project agent-instruction replacement during builds. The behavior is package-service aligned and not directly triggered by the install hooks, so the inspected evidence does not establish a publish-blocking attack.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 84.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The install hooks run cleanup and project synchronization scripts.
- The postinstall sync copies package files into the project and wires the copied build script into the project’s build command.
- When that build script runs, it calls the agent-instructions updater, which proceeds only if the remote version is newer.
- The updater downloads an archive from htmlcodeplay.com and replaces the project’s AGENTS.md and AGENTS directory with its contents.
Evidence against
- The updater is reached through the project build command, not directly through the install hooks.
- The archive host matches the package’s own service domain; the inspected source does not establish what the downloaded instructions contain.
