devez-vibe@1.9.47
Stable terminal UI for Codex and Claude Agent SDK
AI Security Review
scanned 13d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiStatic source inspection found automatic installation of bundled skills into user-level agent directories, a guarded first-party agent extension setup risk. The other inspected findings did not establish concrete malicious behavior, 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 a package manager that runs its postinstall hook.
Impact
The package adds or replaces agent-discoverable skill content, which may affect later agent sessions.
Mechanism
The hook runs install-skills.mjs, which copies the bundled luna-loop and insane-search skill trees into user-level agent skill directories and prunes files there that are absent from the bundled trees.
AI rationale
Static source inspection found automatic installation of bundled skills into user-level agent directories, a guarded first-party agent extension setup risk. The other inspected findings did not establish concrete malicious behavior, so this warrants a warning rather than a block.
Evidence
package.jsoninstall-skills.mjsskills/luna-loop/skills/insane-search/
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 88.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The postinstall hook runs the skill installer automatically during package installation.
- The installer targets the user's Codex and Claude skill directories and copies bundled skills there.
- The installer copies and prunes the two named skill directories, changing agent-discoverable content without an install-time consent check.
- The bridge can update Claude permission settings when its permission-update operation is invoked; the inspected code does not show this operation being called during installation.
Evidence against
- The benchmark helper runs a specified local engine and records its results; it is not invoked by the package lifecycle shown.
- The CLI launcher starts the packaged or pointer-selected executable only when the user invokes the CLI. No concrete malicious payload behavior was established in the inspected source.
