The package is a CLI framework that explicitly installs first-party agent rules/skills and can run generated shell scripts and external AI CLIs. This is a real broad AI-agent control-surface mutation risk, but it is activated by user commands rather than npm lifecycle hooks. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-05T11:56:27.645Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-05T11:57:12.541Z - **Download time:** 779 ms - **Static scan time:** 839 ms - **AI review time:** 43277 ms - **Total time:** 44896 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** The package is a CLI framework that explicitly installs first-party agent rules/skills and can run generated shell scripts and external AI CLIs. This is a real broad AI-agent control-surface mutation risk, but it is activated by user commands rather than npm lifecycle hooks. - **Trigger:** User runs imhcode initialization, imhcode execute/test, or imhcode agent run --live. - **Impact:** May overwrite assistant rule/skill directories and execute project-generated scripts or AI CLIs with reduced permission barriers under the user's account. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/imhcode.js, src/orchestrator/executor.ts, dist/orchestrator/executor.js, skills/ui-ux-pro-max/.claude/skills/design/scripts/cip/generate.py - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-05T11:57:12.541Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** explicit user-command agent config mutation and privileged agent execution - **Rationale:** Source inspection confirms broad AI-agent configuration writes and dangerous live execution capabilities, but they are explicit CLI behaviors aligned with the package purpose and not install-time stealth mutation. Downgrade to warn rather than block because no concrete malicious exfiltration, persistence backdoor, or remote payload execution was established. - **Files touched:** ~/.imhcode/\*\*, ~/.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, ~/.bash\_profile, ~/.profile, docs/sprint-\*/run\_all\_tasks.sh ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** bin/imhcode.js default init copies package AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md/skills into ~/.claude, ~/.gemini, ~/.copilot and ~/.imhcode, bin/imhcode.js registerCliGlobally writes shims under ~/.imhcode/bin and ~/.local/bin and appends PATH to shell rc files, bin/imhcode.js ensureCavemanAndGraphify can run npm install -g skills and npx skills add juliusbrussee/caveman on user-invoked init, src/orchestrator/executor.ts live agent adapters spawn external AI CLIs; opencode and codex use permission-bypass flags, bin/imhcode.js execute/test run generated docs/sprint-\*/run\_all\_tasks.sh via sh when user invokes commands - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall/install/postinstall lifecycle hooks, Dangerous behaviors are tied to explicit CLI commands, not npm install or import-time execution, No confirmed credential harvesting or secret exfiltration found in inspected entrypoints, Network-like activity is package-aligned CLI setup/agent tooling, not a hidden endpoint or remote payload fetch, Scanner PDF/high-entropy findings appear to be bundled skill assets, not an executable install-time payload ## Public findings ### 1.
