Codex and Claude pick up a third-party skill and related files in the user skill path without a separate setup command, and extra files in those skill folders can be deleted. - **Verdict:** AI-agent control-surface policy finding - **Product-default install policy:** Warn by default; block when configured - **Firewall policy:** Warn by default - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Soft block: AI-agent control surface - **Selected version:** 1.6.53 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This finding concerns changes to an AI agent's instructions or configuration without explicit user action. It does not by itself establish malware intent. The CLI warns by default and blocks when configured for this policy. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. npm postinstall copies the bundled luna-loop skill into the user's Codex and Claude skill directories and prunes extra files there. That mutates foreign AI-agent control surfaces as soon as the package is installed. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 95.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-17T01:16:13.097Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-17T01:18:54.314Z - **Download time:** 510 ms - **Static scan time:** 242 ms - **AI review time:** 160464 ms - **Total time:** 161217 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

That mutates foreign AI-agent control surfaces as soon as the package is installed. - **Trigger:** npm install of devez-vibe, which runs the postinstall script. - **Impact:** Codex and Claude pick up a third-party skill and related files in the user skill path without a separate setup command, and extra files in those skill folders can be deleted. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, install-skills.mjs, skills/luna-loop/SKILL.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-17T01:18:54.314Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Unconsented postinstall copy of an agent skill into ~/.codex and ~/.claude - **Attack narrative:** Installing this package runs postinstall, which copies luna-loop into the user's Codex and Claude skill directories and removes leftover files in those folders. Those paths are foreign agent control surfaces, so the skill can be loaded by Codex or Claude without a later setup command. README text describing the copy does not count as consent for an automatic install-time write. - **Rationale:** postinstall writes a bundled agent skill into ~/.codex/skills and ~/.claude/skills, which is unconsented mutation of foreign AI-agent control surfaces. That matches a blocking install-time hijack even though the installer does not itself steal secrets. - **Files touched:** install-skills.mjs, skills/luna-loop/SKILL.md, skills/luna-loop/agents/openai.yaml, ~/.codex/skills/luna-loop, ~/.claude/skills/luna-loop ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** package.json postinstall runs node install-skills.mjs on every npm install with no extra user command., install-skills.mjs copies the bundled luna-loop skill into Codex and Claude user skill directories under the home config roots., The installer overwrites those skill trees and pruneTree deletes extra files already present in the destination skill folders., The copied SKILL.md is an agent skill that Codex and Claude can load after install., The write is unconsented mutation of foreign Codex and Claude control surfaces, not a first-party Devez extension directory. - **Evidence against:** README says luna-loop is installed with the package and claims it is not auto-applied., skills/luna-loop/agents/openai.yaml sets allow\_implicit\_invocation to false., install-skills.mjs has no network calls or credential harvest., The Windows TUI binary and Claude SDK bridge run only when the user launches dvz, not during install. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to devez-vibe@1.6.53. - Avoid installing devez-vibe@1.6.53. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
