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. Postinstall unconditionally plants this package's own skills on the broad Codex and Claude user skill surfaces and may pip-install search dependencies. That is first-party agent-extension setup rather than a hidden foreign hijack, because the skills match the published product and the installer shows no credential export or remote code fetch. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 80.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-23T10:16:36.322Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-23T10:18:06.876Z - **Download time:** 753 ms - **Static scan time:** 366 ms - **AI review time:** 89434 ms - **Total time:** 90554 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 runs a postinstall script that writes this package's luna-loop and insane-search skills into the user Codex and Claude skill directories. A second script may install Python fetch libraries for the current user. No secret theft or remote payload execution was found in those scripts. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall after installing devez-vibe. - **Impact:** Codex and Claude can load these package-authored skills on later agent runs without a separate install command. The user environment may also gain curl\_cffi, beautifulsoup4, pyyaml, pypdf, and markdownify. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, install-skills.mjs, prepare-search-deps.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-23T10:18:06.876Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** install-skills.mjs copies both bundled skill trees into Codex and Claude skill folders derived from CODEX\_HOME, CLAUDE\_CONFIG\_DIR, or the user home directory, then prunes extras. prepare-search-deps.mjs runs pip install --user when Python 3 exists and the import guard fails. - **Rationale:** Postinstall unconditionally plants this package's own skills on the broad Codex and Claude user skill surfaces and may pip-install search dependencies. That is first-party agent-extension setup rather than a hidden foreign hijack, because the skills match the published product and the installer shows no credential export or remote code fetch. - **Files touched:** .codex/skills/luna-loop, .codex/skills/insane-search, .claude/skills/luna-loop, .claude/skills/insane-search ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 80.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** npm postinstall runs install-skills.mjs and prepare-search-deps.mjs with no consent prompt., install-skills copies the bundled luna-loop and insane-search trees into the Codex and Claude user skill directories., That copy overwrites each skill folder, deletes files the bundle no longer contains, and writes a bundled marker so both agents load these skills., When Python 3 is present, postinstall may pip-install curl\_cffi and related packages into the current user environment. - **Evidence against:** The written skills are this package's own search and review workflows, not a hidden third-party payload., The installer does not read credentials or send them to a network endpoint., The package does not depend on another release of itself, and the installer is not obfuscated. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to devez-vibe@1.9.27. - Review the evidence and your use of devez-vibe@1.9.27 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.
