Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Installing the npm package automatically alters AI coding-agent skill directories if their parent folders exist. This occurs without an explicit setup command. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-11T03:50:45.367Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-11T03:51:30.716Z - **Download time:** 511 ms - **Static scan time:** 33 ms - **AI review time:** 44805 ms - **Total time:** 45349 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

This occurs without an explicit setup command. - **Trigger:** npm installation executes postinstall. - **Impact:** Package instructions are injected into Cursor, Claude, Windsurf, Continue, and agent project skill locations, influencing future agent behavior. - **Evidence paths:** npm/postinstall.js, juanig/setup\_local.py - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-11T03:51:30.716Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic cross-tool AI-agent skill installation. - **Attack narrative:** During npm installation, postinstall runs pip on the bundled project and then invokes --install-skills. That code detects several existing third-party AI-agent directories in the home directory or current project, creates a juanig skill subdirectory, and writes its packaged SKILL.md there. This is an unconsented install-time mutation of a broad foreign AI-agent control surface. - **Rationale:** The package performs automatic postinstall writes into multiple third-party AI-agent skill locations. This meets the install-control-surface blocking rule even though the media downloader itself is otherwise package-aligned. - **Files touched:** ~/.cursor/skills/juanig/SKILL.md, ~/.claude/skills/juanig/SKILL.md, ~/.codeium/windsurf/skills/juanig/SKILL.md, ~/.continue/skills/juanig/SKILL.md, ~/.agents/skills/juanig/SKILL.md, .cursor/skills/juanig/SKILL.md, .claude/skills/juanig/SKILL.md, .agents/skills/juanig/SKILL.md ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The npm postinstall hook installs the bundled Python project and automatically invokes its skill installer., The installer targets skill locations for several third-party AI coding tools in both the user home directory and the current project., The skill installer creates directories and writes package-provided instructions into those agent control locations. - **Evidence against:** The inspected downloader sends its optional session cookie only to Instagram endpoints used for the requested media download., No hidden endpoint, payload download, self-dependency, or credential-exfiltration path was found in the inspected source. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to juanig@1.1.3. - Avoid installing juanig@1.1.3. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
