Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged as agent extension risk** — Allowed by default with warning: install-time first-party agent extension setup was detected. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Warn-only agent extension risk - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Agent extension lifecycle risk - **Selected version:** 1.9.1 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. This is a real install-time agent-extension and environment-mutation risk, so it should be warned rather than marked clean. The inspected implementation is package-aligned and lacks concrete malware behavior, so the first-party extension lifecycle policy supports downgrade rather than blocking. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-14T06:09:36.012Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-14T06:10:43.233Z - **Download time:** 1018 ms - **Static scan time:** 401 ms - **AI review time:** 65802 ms - **Total time:** 67221 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 installs two bundled skills into both Codex and Claude user-level skill directories. It also performs a user-wide Python dependency installation. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall during package installation - **Impact:** The package adds persistent instructions to AI-agent skill surfaces without an explicit setup command and changes the user's Python package environment. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, install-skills.mjs, prepare-search-deps.mjs, skills/luna-loop/SKILL.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-14T06:10:43.233Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic agent-skill deployment and user-wide dependency installation - **Rationale:** This is a real install-time agent-extension and environment-mutation risk, so it should be warned rather than marked clean. The inspected implementation is package-aligned and lacks concrete malware behavior, so the first-party extension lifecycle policy supports downgrade rather than blocking. - **Files touched:** install-skills.mjs, prepare-search-deps.mjs, skills/luna-loop/, skills/insane-search/, $CODEX\_HOME/skills/luna-loop, $CODEX\_HOME/skills/insane-search, $CLAUDE\_CONFIG\_DIR/skills/luna-loop, $CLAUDE\_CONFIG\_DIR/skills/insane-search ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The postinstall hook automatically runs two setup scripts., The installer copies and prunes bundled skills in both Codex and Claude user skill directories., The postinstall setup runs pip with user-wide installation enabled., A bundled Codex skill directs the agent to launch a specific delegated model. - **Evidence against:** No source path inspected sends credentials or local files to a remote endpoint., The bridge explicitly removes Anthropic credential variables before spawning its Claude CLI child., The agent-facing files are named package-bundled skills rather than hidden configuration changes. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to devez-vibe@1.9.1. - Review the evidence and your use of devez-vibe@1.9.1 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
