devez-vibe@1.10.8

Stable terminal UI for Codex and Claude Agent SDK

AI Security Review

scanned 6d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The automatic global skill installation creates a concrete agent extension lifecycle risk, supporting a warning rather than a clean verdict. The native Windows executable remains unresolved, but the inspected source does not establish malicious behavior.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review

Trigger

Installing the npm package runs its postinstall script.

Impact

Agent skill files may be added or removed automatically during installation. No broader agent settings mutation or confirmed malicious effect was identified.

Mechanism

The script copies the bundled skills into the user’s agent skill directories and removes destination entries that are absent from the bundle.

AI rationale

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 79.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

The postinstall runs both the skill installer and dependency preparation.
The installer copies bundled skills into global Codex and Claude skill directories and prunes files there.
The bridge exposes Claude permission-setting changes through its runtime protocol.
The Windows launcher starts a 26.7 MB native executable whose behavior the offline analysis could not resolve.

Evidence against

The installer copies only the two named bundled skills; no install-time settings change is shown.
The bridge permission changes are runtime protocol operations, not part of the postinstall path.
Dependency preparation is limited to installing the search skill’s Python packages with pip.
