Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged as agent extension risk** — Allowed by default with warning: install-time first-party agent extension setup was detected. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Warn-only agent extension risk - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Agent extension lifecycle risk - **Selected version:** 2.0.4 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM treats this as warn-only first-party agent extension lifecycle risk. Explicit \`imhcode\` initialization mutates broad AI assistant configuration directories with package-owned prompts and skills. This is risky agent-extension setup, but inspection did not confirm unconsented npm lifecycle execution, exfiltration, destructive behavior, or remote payload execution. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-05T12:08:55.605Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-05T12:10:09.060Z - **Download time:** 1265 ms - **Static scan time:** 873 ms - **AI review time:** 71316 ms - **Total time:** 73455 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Explicit \`imhcode\` initialization mutates broad AI assistant configuration directories with package-owned prompts and skills. This is risky agent-extension setup, but inspection did not confirm unconsented npm lifecycle execution, exfiltration, destructive behavior, or remote payload execution. - **Trigger:** User runs \`imhcode\` or \`imhcode init\`; later \`imhcode execute\` or \`imhcode test\` runs generated sprint scripts. - **Impact:** User assistant behavior and global CLI PATH can be changed; generated project scripts can execute local commands when the user requests sprint execution. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/imhcode.js, AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, skills/ui-ux-pro-max/.claude/skills/design/scripts/cip/generate.py - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-05T12:10:09.060Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** first-party AI-agent config/skill installation plus explicit shell orchestration - **Rationale:** The package contains broad AI-agent control-surface mutation, but it is tied to explicit CLI initialization and uses first-party package assets. Under the policy this warrants a warning rather than a publish block absent concrete malicious behavior. - **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/start.md - **Network endpoints:** git+https://github.com/goharabbas321/imhcode.git, https://github.com/goharabbas321/imhcode\#readme, https://github.com/goharabbas321/imhcode/issues ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** bin/imhcode.js runInit copies CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, and skills/ into ~/.claude, ~/.gemini, and ~/.copilot, bin/imhcode.js registerCliGlobally writes shims under ~/.imhcode/bin and ~/.local/bin and may append PATH to shell rc files, bin/imhcode.js ensureCavemanAndGraphify can run npm install -g skills and npx skills add juliusbrussee/caveman during explicit init, bin/imhcode.js execute/test run generated docs/sprint-N/run\_all\_tasks.sh via sh on explicit commands - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall/install/postinstall lifecycle scripts, Default activation is CLI invocation, not npm install or import-time execution, AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md contain workflow/model-routing instructions, not credential theft or exfiltration directives, No confirmed credential harvesting or covert exfiltration found in inspected entrypoints, Network/API references are package-aligned tooling or shipped skill utilities, not a concrete malicious endpoint ## Public findings ### 1.
