devez-vibe@1.9.45
Stable terminal UI for Codex and Claude Agent SDK
AI Security Review
scanned 5d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe postinstall hook installs package-authored skills into global Codex and Claude skill directories, creating a concrete agent-extension lifecycle risk. The inspected behavior does not establish a malicious attack, so this warrants a warning rather than a block.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Installing the package through npm runs its postinstall hook.
Impact
The installed instructions can influence later agent activity when a skill applies. The inspected installer does not show credential collection or broad permission-setting changes.
Mechanism
The hook copies and prunes bundled skill files in the Codex and Claude skill directories without a separate setup prompt.
AI rationale
The postinstall hook installs package-authored skills into global Codex and Claude skill directories, creating a concrete agent-extension lifecycle risk. The inspected behavior does not establish a malicious attack, so this warrants a warning rather than a block.
Evidence
package.jsoninstall-skills.mjsskills/insane-search/SKILL.md~/.codex/skills~/.claude/skills
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 88.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The package runs install-skills.mjs automatically from its postinstall hook.
- The installer targets global Codex and Claude skill directories, using their home-directory defaults unless environment variables override them.
- It copies the bundled luna-loop and insane-search skills into those directories during installation.
- The insane-search skill supplies package-authored instructions for accessing blocked websites; this creates a residual agent-extension risk when the skill is installed automatically.
Evidence against
- The installer’s visible behavior is limited to copying and pruning bundled skill files; it does not show credential collection or a network request.
- The bridge’s permission-setting changes are exposed through a separate runtime method and support user, project, and local settings paths.
