## Verdict summary
**Flagged as AI-agent capability risk** — Allowed by default with warning: agent-facing configuration or capability changes need review before use.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Warn-only AI-agent capability risk
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** AI-agent capability abuse
- **Selected version:** 1.1.0
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

Review flagged AI-agent configuration or capability changes. This remains warn-only unless evidence shows foreign-agent hijack through preinstall/install/postinstall, hidden persistence, exfiltration, remote code execution, or other concrete malicious behavior.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** User-invoked initialization mutates broad AI-agent control surfaces in the user's home directory by copying package instructions and skills into Claude, Gemini, and Copilot config folders. Live execution can launch local AI CLIs with permission/sandbox bypass flags.

- **Trigger:** Running \`imhcode\` initialization, then \`imhcode execute\` or \`imhcode agent run --live\`.

- **Impact:** Can persist package-supplied agent instructions across unrelated projects and run delegated coding agents with reduced safeguards.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/imhcode.js, CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, src/orchestrator/executor.ts

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-07-04T13:52:16.331Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** global AI-agent rule/skill installation plus permission-bypassing agent execution

- **Attack narrative:** The package is an AI coding orchestration CLI. On default initialization it installs its own rules, agents, and skills globally, including into other assistants' home config directories, and registers shell shims. Later live agent execution shells out to local AI CLIs, with opencode and codex invoked using dangerous permission bypass flags.

- **Rationale:** This is not install-time malware because package installation has no lifecycle hook, but the CLI performs broad, persistent AI-agent control-surface mutation and dangerous live execution when invoked. That creates real agent-extension lifecycle and capability risk, but source inspection does not show covert exfiltration or automatic install-time hijack requiring a publish block.

- **Files touched:** ~/.imhcode/AGENTS.md, ~/.imhcode/CLAUDE.md, ~/.imhcode/agents, ~/.imhcode/skills, ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md, ~/.claude/AGENTS.md, ~/.claude/skills, ~/.gemini/CLAUDE.md, ~/.gemini/AGENTS.md, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.copilot/CLAUDE.md, ~/.copilot/AGENTS.md, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.local/bin/imhcode, ~/.zshrc, ~/.bashrc

- **Network endpoints:** git+https://github.com/goharabbas321/imhcode.git

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 88.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for:** bin/imhcode.js default init copies package CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, and skills into ~/.claude, ~/.gemini, and ~/.copilot., bin/imhcode.js overwrites ~/.imhcode agents/skills/rules and registers shims under ~/.imhcode/bin and ~/.local/bin., bin/imhcode.js appends IMH-Code PATH entries to shell startup files when registering the CLI., src/orchestrator/executor.ts launches opencode with --dangerously-skip-permissions and codex with --dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox during live agent runs., bin/imhcode.js ensureCavemanAndGraphify may run npm install -g skills and npx skills add juliusbrussee/caveman.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no npm lifecycle install/postinstall/preinstall scripts., Risky behavior is reached by user-invoked CLI commands, not automatic package installation or import., No source evidence of credential harvesting, destructive file wiping, or covert exfiltration., Network-facing commands are package/tool setup aligned rather than hardcoded data exfiltration endpoints.
