Third-party plugin code may be added to the user's Claude Code environment without a separate user confirmation. - **Verdict:** AI-agent control-surface policy finding - **Product-default install policy:** Warn by default; block when configured - **Firewall policy:** Warn by default - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Soft block: AI-agent control surface - **Selected version:** 0.5.0 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This finding concerns changes to an AI agent's instructions or configuration without explicit user action. It does not by itself establish malware intent. The CLI warns by default and blocks when configured for this policy. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The automatic postinstall behavior installs plugins into Claude Code's user scope, including one from a third-party marketplace, without an explicit setup command. This is an unconsented install-time agent control-surface change and warrants blocking. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-08T10:21:50.832Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-08T10:22:20.039Z - **Download time:** 510 ms - **Static scan time:** 757 ms - **AI review time:** 27940 ms - **Total time:** 29207 ms 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:** The npm postinstall hook installs Claude Code plugins into the user's scope without an explicit setup command. This changes an AI agent's plugin configuration during package installation. - **Trigger:** Installing the npm package when Claude Code is available and MEGA\_CODE\_SKIP\_PLUGINS is unset or false. - **Impact:** Third-party plugin code may be added to the user's Claude Code environment without a separate user confirmation. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-08T10:22:20.039Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook adds configured marketplaces and runs Claude Code's user-scope plugin install command for Mega-SDD and Superpowers. - **Attack narrative:** During npm installation, the postinstall hook checks for Claude Code and then adds marketplaces and installs plugins in user scope. Plugin installation is skipped only when the user sets MEGA\_CODE\_SKIP\_PLUGINS=1. This creates an unconsented install-time change to the user's AI agent environment, including a plugin sourced from a third-party marketplace. - **Rationale:** The automatic postinstall behavior installs plugins into Claude Code's user scope, including one from a third-party marketplace, without an explicit setup command. This is an unconsented install-time agent control-surface change and warrants blocking. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.mjs - **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/FarhanRiuzaki/Mega-SDD.git, https://github.com/obra/superpowers.git ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** package.json runs scripts/postinstall.mjs automatically after installation., The postinstall script adds marketplaces and installs Claude Code plugins at user scope when Claude Code is present; the skip variable is opt-in., The automatic setup uses the Mega-SDD and Superpowers marketplaces, including the third-party obra/superpowers.git source. - **Evidence against:** Plugin setup can be skipped with MEGA\_CODE\_SKIP\_PLUGINS=1. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to mega-code-dev@0.5.0. - Avoid installing mega-code-dev@0.5.0. 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.
