devez-vibe@1.7.2
Stable terminal UI for Codex and Claude Agent SDK
AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThis is not a confirmed malware chain because the installer copies a named first-party skill and no network or credential theft was found. It remains suspicious because installation mutates global AI-agent skill surfaces and the runtime prefers bypass permissions.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; source fingerprint signature matched known malicious package; routed for review; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
npm installation runs postinstall; the permission behavior is reached when the launcher starts a Claude session.
Impact
A package-installed agent skill is added without an explicit setup command, and launcher sessions may operate with reduced permission prompts.
Mechanism
Global skill installation and automatic permission-bypass preference.
AI rationale
This is not a confirmed malware chain because the installer copies a named first-party skill and no network or credential theft was found. It remains suspicious because installation mutates global AI-agent skill surfaces and the runtime prefers bypass permissions.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 91.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The package runs its skill installer automatically after installation.
- The installer copies a packaged skill into both Codex and Claude user skill directories.
- The Claude bridge enables and selects bypass-permission mode when the launcher is used.
Evidence against
- The installer copies only the package's named skill and makes no network request.
- The packaged skill states that it is intended for explicit invocation.
- The bridge removes Anthropic API credential variables from its child environment.
