devez-vibe@1.8.4: AI-agent control-surface risk | LPM Firewall

devez-vibe@1.8.4

Stable terminal UI for Codex and Claude Agent SDK

AI Security Review

scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Installing the package mutates global Codex and Claude skill control surfaces without a user command. It also installs Python packages into the user's environment.

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, through the automatic postinstall hook

Impact

Package-supplied instructions become available to both AI-agent installations and existing skill files under matching names can be overwritten or pruned.

Mechanism

global AI-agent skill injection and user-level pip installation

Policy narrative

On npm installation, the postinstall hook copies two package-controlled skill trees into the user's global Codex and Claude skill directories, then recursively deletes destination files not present in the package source. This is an unconsented mutation of broad AI-agent control surfaces. The same automatic hook invokes pip with --user to install additional packages.

AI rationale

The automatic lifecycle hook modifies foreign global AI-agent configuration surfaces and performs further user-environment dependency installation. This meets the install-control-surface blocking policy despite no confirmed credential theft.

Ai Agent Control Hijack

Source creates an unconsented AI-agent control surface through install-time mutation or a default unauthenticated remote skill channel.
