devez-vibe@1.10.2

Stable terminal UI for Codex and Claude Agent SDK

AI Security Review

scanned 9d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The automatic install-time changes to user-level agent skill directories create a concrete extension lifecycle risk. The inspected source supports a warning for this package-owned setup, but does not establish malicious behavior warranting a block.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

Installing the npm package runs its postinstall hook.

Impact

The installed skills become available to the user's agents, and existing files within those skill directories can be replaced or pruned.

Mechanism

The hook copies bundled skill files into user-level skill directories and removes destination entries that are absent from the bundled source.

AI rationale

Evidence

package.jsoninstall-skills.mjs$CODEX_HOME/skills/luna-loop$CODEX_HOME/skills/insane-search$CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR/skills/luna-loop$CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR/skills/insane-search

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 88.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

The postinstall hook automatically runs install-skills.mjs when the package is installed.
The helper targets the user's Codex and Claude skill directories and copies bundled skills there, pruning destination entries missing from the package.
The bridge maps a permissions/update request to a separate permission update function; this source does not show that API being called by postinstall.

Evidence against

The installed extensions are the package's bundled skills; the inspected source does not show credential collection or an unrelated remote payload in this install path.
