devez-vibe@1.10.9
Stable terminal UI for Codex and Claude Agent SDK
AI Security Review
scanned 4d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe postinstall hook performs persistent, user-level agent skill setup and can replace or remove files in the named skill directories, leaving residual lifecycle risk. Inspected source does not establish malicious behavior or an unconsented broad settings change.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
Installing the package through npm, which runs its postinstall hook.
Impact
The install changes the user's available agent skills and can replace or remove files under the two named skill directories. No concrete malicious behavior was established from the inspected source.
Mechanism
The installer copies bundled skill files into both user-level skill directories, prunes destination entries absent from the bundled source, and writes a marker.
AI rationale
The postinstall hook performs persistent, user-level agent skill setup and can replace or remove files in the named skill directories, leaving residual lifecycle risk. Inspected source does not establish malicious behavior or an unconsented broad settings change.
Evidence
package.jsoninstall-skills.mjsskills/insane-search/SKILL.mdbridge/claude-agent-sdk-bridge.mjsskills/luna-loop/SKILL.md
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 88.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- package.json runs install-skills.mjs during postinstall.
- The installer targets the user-level Codex and Claude skill directories.
- During postinstall, it copies each bundled skill, prunes destination files missing from the source, and writes a bundle marker.
- The copied insane-search skill advertises access methods for blocked websites.
- The bridge exposes Claude permission updates through a runtime method that writes to user, project, or local settings paths.
Evidence against
- The inspected bridge settings path is exposed through a runtime method; the inspected postinstall code installs skill files and does not call that method.
