## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 45 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Install Hook Abuse
- **Selected version:** 4.1.98
- **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: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

npm postinstall can install unpinned bun@latest and, on global installs, place bundled rg, ugrep, and bfs on the npm global PATH. The minified coder and cowork CLIs send the product API key to api.makecoder.com and can write other agents' skill directories; those files were not fully analyzable.

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:** npm postinstall can install unpinned bun@latest and, on global installs, place bundled rg, ugrep, and bfs on the npm global PATH. The minified coder and cowork CLIs send the product API key to api.makecoder.com and can write other agents' skill directories; those files were not fully analyzable.

- **Trigger:** npm install runs postinstall; later running coder or cowork uses the API and skill-directory code.

- **Impact:** A global install can put package-shipped native tools on PATH; using the CLI can change other agents' skill trees; leftover minified code is unverified.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-18T23:42:36.195Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** install-time unpinned bun install and global PATH linking, plus runtime agent-skill directory writes

- **Rationale:** Inspected source shows a MakeCoder agent CLI with an aggressive postinstall (unpinned bun@latest and global search-tool links) and runtime writes into other agents' skill directories, but not a proven install-time steal or foreign-agent hijack. The minified entrypoints and Gemini bundles exceeded analysis coverage, so this stays a warning rather than clean or block.

- **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.js, dist/coder.js, dist/cowork.js, .claude/skills, .agent\_context

- **Network endpoints:** https://api.makecoder.com/v1

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 72.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** package.json registers coder and cowork bins and runs scripts/postinstall.js after npm install., postinstall can run npm install bun@latest into the package tree when bun is missing., On global installs, postinstall copies or symlinks bundled rg, ugrep, and bfs into the npm global bin directory., Minified dist/coder.js and dist/cowork.js store a MakeCoder API key and default requests to https://api.makecoder.com/v1., Those CLIs can create .claude/skills and .agent\_context and, on skill install, delete matching skill dirs under .claude, .codex, and .gemini., dist/coder.js, dist/cowork.js, and bundled Gemini chunks are too large for complete static analysis, so remaining behavior is not fully proven.

- **Evidence against:** postinstall does not rewrite Claude, Cursor, or other foreign agent config files; it installs bun, links search tools, and repairs native helper bits., The default API host is the product MakeCoder API, not a hidden third-party drop box., Gemini similarity hits match bundled dotenv, TOML, and gemini-cli updater chunks, not a hidden stealer., optionalDependencies pin same-version makecoder-bin platform packages, not another makecoder lifecycle release.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to makecoder@4.1.98.

- Review the evidence and your use of makecoder@4.1.98 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report.
