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. This is a dangerous explicit-user-command agent bridge that modifies a related agent configuration and executes remote installers. The postinstall hook is inert, so the inspected source does not establish malicious automatic install behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 92.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-17T02:44:43.105Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-17T02:45:32.498Z - **Download time:** 509 ms - **Static scan time:** 159 ms - **AI review time:** 48725 ms - **Total time:** 49393 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:** When explicitly started, the package exposes a Telegram-to-local-agent bridge and modifies a selected OpenCode-compatible configuration. Its setup command also runs remote shell installers. - **Trigger:** Running devil-ai start, devil-ai config --model, or devil-ai setup. - **Impact:** A Telegram sender can submit prompts to the local coding agent; remote installer content can execute with the invoking user's privileges and elevated Linux setup uses sudo. - **Evidence paths:** dist/cli.js, dist/telegram.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-17T02:45:32.498Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Telegram webhook forwarding, agent configuration mutation, and shell-based dependency installation. - **Rationale:** This is a dangerous explicit-user-command agent bridge that modifies a related agent configuration and executes remote installers. The postinstall hook is inert, so the inspected source does not establish malicious automatic install behavior. - **Files touched:** ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json, ~/.config/devilcode/devilcode.json - **Network endpoints:** api.telegram.org, 127.0.0.1, deb.nodesource.com, opencode.ai ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The explicit start command modifies an existing OpenCode or DevilCode configuration file., A Telegram webhook forwards received messages to a local OpenCode agent, creating a remote control path to that agent., The explicit setup command executes remote installer scripts through a shell, including one with elevated Linux commands. - **Evidence against:** The install lifecycle only prints a message and does not execute the CLI., No self-dependency, hidden payload, credential harvesting, or automatic network activity was found., The risky behavior requires an explicit CLI command and a user-provided Telegram bot token. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to devil-ai@0.14.1. - Review the evidence and your use of devil-ai@0.14.1 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.
