## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — It can silently alter a shared agent and shell command surface and fetch new code at install time.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Install Hook Abuse
- **Selected version:** 4.1.97
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. 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.

Its install hook can replace global search commands with package-bundled binaries. This affects command resolution for Codex, Claude Code, terminals, and other agents.

The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Its install hook can replace global search commands with package-bundled binaries. This affects command resolution for Codex, Claude Code, terminals, and other agents.

- **Trigger:** Installing the package globally with npm, when Bun is absent or during global tool linking.

- **Impact:** It can silently alter a shared agent and shell command surface and fetch new code at install time.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-18T02:46:17.122Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Postinstall deletes global command targets, links bundled binaries, and installs an unpinned latest runtime.

- **Attack narrative:** A global npm installation automatically invokes the postinstall hook. That hook deletes existing global command targets and replaces them with bundled rg, ugrep, and bfs executables, which the source says agent wrappers rely on. It also invokes npm to install Bun at the unpinned latest version if absent. This silently changes shared command resolution beyond the package's own executable and permits fresh install-time code retrieval.

- **Rationale:** The automatic postinstall mutation of shared global commands used by AI agents is a concrete, unconsented broad control-surface change. The additional unpinned install-time dependency fetch increases supply-chain risk.

- **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.js, package.json, global bin directory targets for rg, ugrep, and bfs, node\_modules

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 93.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for block:** The postinstall hook automatically runs during installation., For global installs, it deletes existing global command paths and replaces them with bundled executables., It explicitly targets tools used by agent search wrappers, creating a broad agent shell control-surface change., The hook also installs the latest Bun package outside the declared dependency lock.

- **Evidence against:** No confirmed credential harvesting or exfiltration was established from the inspected lifecycle source., The global command replacement is limited to global installations.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to makecoder@4.1.97.

- Avoid installing makecoder@4.1.97. 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.
