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:** 1.9.47 - **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. 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-09T17:48:52.068Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-09T17:50:10.076Z - **Download time:** 4121 ms - **Static scan time:** 408 ms - **AI review time:** 73478 ms - **Total time:** 78008 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:** Package installation automatically copies bundled skills into the user's Codex and Claude skill directories. This is a guarded first-party agent extension setup risk; no concrete malicious payload behavior was established. - **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. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, install-skills.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-09T17:50:10.076Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **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. - **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. - **Files touched:** install-skills.mjs, skills/luna-loop/, skills/insane-search/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **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. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to devez-vibe@1.9.47. - Review the evidence and your use of devez-vibe@1.9.47 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.
