That routine can download and execute remote shell code and invoke privileged system installation commands. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall during package installation - **Impact:** An install can modify the host and execute code supplied by remote installer endpoints without an explicit setup command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/cli.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-28T04:08:14.380Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic remote shell execution and global dependency installation - **Attack narrative:** The postinstall lifecycle hook invokes \`devil-ai setup\` automatically. Setup checks for tools and, when absent, runs a NodeSource script through bash with sudo, runs the OpenCode installer through bash, and installs OmniRoute globally. This turns a normal npm install into unprompted remote code execution and host-level dependency changes. - **Rationale:** The package performs unconsented install-time remote shell execution and privileged host mutation. This is a concrete malicious install chain, not merely a user-invoked setup capability. - **Files touched:** package.json, bin/devil-ai, dist/cli.js - **Network endpoints:** https://deb.nodesource.com/setup\_lts.x, https://opencode.ai/install ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 97.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The postinstall hook automatically runs the package setup command., Setup runs remote shell installers and privileged system package installation without user confirmation., Setup globally installs an additional package during npm installation. - **Evidence against:** No source evidence of credential harvesting or unrelated data exfiltration., Telegram networking is part of the explicitly invoked bot runtime, not the install hook. ## Public findings ### 1.
