Package-controlled instructions and code become available to both AI-agent control surfaces without an explicit setup command. - **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:** 1.7.89 - **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. Installing the package automatically replaces skill trees in both Codex and Claude configuration areas. It also installs Python dependencies into the user's environment. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-07T12:29:54.171Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-07T12:30:42.516Z - **Download time:** 506 ms - **Static scan time:** 358 ms - **AI review time:** 47481 ms - **Total time:** 48345 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installing the package automatically replaces skill trees in both Codex and Claude configuration areas. It also installs Python dependencies into the user's environment. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall during package installation - **Impact:** Package-controlled instructions and code become available to both AI-agent control surfaces without an explicit setup command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, install-skills.mjs, prepare-search-deps.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-07T12:30:42.516Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** automatic cross-agent skill deployment and user-level dependency installation - **Attack narrative:** An npm installation invokes install-skills.mjs without a user command. That script copies package-controlled luna-loop and insane-search trees into both Codex and Claude skill locations, then removes files no longer in the package from those targets. The same lifecycle chain launches pip with --user to install additional dependencies. This is an unconsented postinstall mutation of broad AI-agent control surfaces. - **Rationale:** The automatic lifecycle hook mutates both Codex and Claude skill directories and performs user-level dependency installation. This meets the install-control-surface policy for a publish block. - **Files touched:** skills/luna-loop, skills/insane-search, ~/.codex/skills/luna-loop, ~/.codex/skills/insane-search, ~/.claude/skills/luna-loop, ~/.claude/skills/insane-search ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** The postinstall hook automatically runs the skill installer., The installer copies and prunes package-controlled skills in both Codex and Claude user skill directories., The same postinstall runs a user-level pip installation of additional packages. - **Evidence against:** No direct secret collection or exfiltration was found in the inspected lifecycle scripts., The flagged benchmark is a readable test harness, not a hidden payload. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to devez-vibe@1.7.89. - Avoid installing devez-vibe@1.7.89. 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.
