## Public findings

### 1. High: Osv Malicious Advisory
- **Category:** External Intel
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

package.json declares an \`install\` lifecycle script that runs \`bin/gm-kilo.js install\`. At install time, the script executes \`bun x gm-plugkit@latest spool \> /dev/null 2\>&1 &\` via execSync, which downloads and runs whatever the latest published version of gm-plugkit is using the Bun alternate runtime. The version pin is mutable (\`@latest\`), the command output is redirected to /dev/null, and the process is detached into the background — these properties are characteristic of covert remote-code execution at install time. Whoever controls publishing of gm-plugkit can deliver arbitrary code to every machine that installs gm-kilo, and the install hook hides that execution from the installer's terminal. Additionally, the install script writes to \`~/.kilo/config.yml\` (a separate tool's configuration file) to register a \`gm\` agent with \`Bash(\*plugkit\*)\` shell-execute permission, silently expanding that tool's trust surface to invoke plugkit-related commands without user consent.
