It copies a bundled skill and prunes existing destination content. - **Trigger:** npm installation runs the postinstall lifecycle hook. - **Impact:** The package changes broad user-level Codex and Claude agent control surfaces without an explicit user command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, install-skills.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-14T05:32:54.923Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic cross-agent skill installation and pruning. - **Attack narrative:** During npm installation, package.json launches install-skills.mjs. That script resolves the user's Codex and Claude configuration homes, copies the bundled luna-loop skill into both user-level skill directories, then recursively deletes destination entries not present in the bundled source. This is an unconsented postinstall mutation of foreign, broad AI-agent control surfaces. - **Rationale:** The lifecycle hook automatically installs and prunes agent skills in both Codex and Claude user configuration trees. This meets the policy threshold for malicious install-hook abuse despite no confirmed network exfiltration. - **Files touched:** skills/luna-loop, ~/.codex/skills/luna-loop, ~/.claude/skills/luna-loop ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The package runs its installer automatically through an npm postinstall hook., The installer targets both the user's Codex and Claude skill directories., The installer copies package-supplied agent instructions and removes destination files absent from the package source. - **Evidence against:** No network endpoint or credential-exfiltration path was found in the inspected installer., The bridge removes Anthropic credential variables before spawning the Claude command. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to devez-vibe@1.7.8. - Avoid installing devez-vibe@1.7.8. 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.
