Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: manual review; recommendation: manual review. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The postinstall hook performs first-party agent skill setup, which warrants review of its effects but does not establish an active attack. The CLI launches a 27 MB native executable whose behavior remains unresolved, so the package cannot be fully assessed from the inspected source. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 78.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-20T06:14:14.901Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-20T06:15:21.398Z - **Download time:** 5615 ms - **Static scan time:** 496 ms - **AI review time:** 60385 ms - **Total time:** 66497 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** The postinstall hook installs bundled skills into the user's global Codex and Claude skill directories and prunes those destinations. The packaged Windows executable is the CLI's launched program, but its behavior could not be resolved from the available offline analysis. - **Trigger:** npm installation triggers the postinstall hook; invoking the dvz CLI launches bin/dvz.exe. - **Impact:** The hook changes which bundled instructions are available to the user's agents; the unresolved executable prevents a complete assessment of runtime behavior. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, install-skills.mjs, skills/luna-loop/SKILL.md, skills/insane-search/SKILL.md, bin/dvz.js, bin/dvz.exe, .lpm-inspection-TRHktx/0-5f5e36bc69f1.txt - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-20T06:15:21.398Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook copies and prunes bundled skill trees in user agent directories. The executable's behavior remains unknown. - **Rationale:** The postinstall hook performs first-party agent skill setup, which warrants review of its effects but does not establish an active attack. The CLI launches a 27 MB native executable whose behavior remains unresolved, so the package cannot be fully assessed from the inspected source. - **Files touched:** package.json, install-skills.mjs, skills/luna-loop/SKILL.md, skills/insane-search/SKILL.md, bin/dvz.js, bin/dvz.exe, .lpm-inspection-TRHktx/0-5f5e36bc69f1.txt ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Confidence:** 78.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **AI review observations:** package.json runs install-skills.mjs automatically after installation., The hook targets the user's Codex and Claude skill directories, then copies and prunes the bundled skills there., The installed skills provide agent instructions, including a web access fallback workflow., The CLI launches bin/dvz.exe, whose offline analysis says its behavior remains unresolved., The bridge maps permissions/update to a runtime handler that writes Claude permission settings. - **Evidence against:** The bundled luna-loop skill says it applies only when a user invokes it directly., The bridge permission handler is exposed through a specific runtime method; the inspected source does not show the install hook calling it. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to devez-vibe@1.10.14. - Review the evidence and your use of devez-vibe@1.10.14 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
