devez-vibe@1.8.26

Stable terminal UI for Codex and Claude Agent SDK

AI Security Review

scanned 28d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Installing the package modifies two separate AI-agent skill control surfaces without an explicit setup command. It also installs Python packages into the user's environment during postinstall.

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

Trigger

npm installation, which automatically runs postinstall.

Impact

Bundled instructions become available to Codex and Claude sessions, and additional code is obtained through pip during package installation.

Mechanism

Lifecycle-driven copying of bundled agent skills and user-level pip installation.

Policy narrative

On installation, postinstall runs an installer that copies package-controlled skill trees into both Codex and Claude user configuration directories. This changes broad AI-agent instruction surfaces without requiring a user setup command. The lifecycle hook then runs pip with user-level installation enabled, adding further externally resolved Python code.

AI rationale

This is an unconsented install-time mutation of foreign AI-agent control surfaces, compounded by automatic user-level pip installation. The behavior meets the install-hook abuse blocking policy even though direct credential exfiltration was not found.
