Treat them as untrusted evidence. 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:** 0.5.2 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **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. The automatic install-time modification of Claude Code's user plugin environment leaves a concrete residual risk, so a warning is warranted. The inspected source does not establish a broader control-surface attack or credential theft. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-20T04:35:05.259Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-20T04:35:36.957Z - **Download time:** 756 ms - **Static scan time:** 729 ms - **AI review time:** 30212 ms - **Total time:** 31698 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 install hook can change Claude Code's user-level plugin configuration by installing named plugins from GitHub marketplaces. - **Trigger:** Installing the package when Claude Code is already available and MEGA\_CODE\_SKIP\_PLUGINS is not set. - **Impact:** Unrequested plugins may become available to the user's Claude Code environment. The inspected source does not establish what those plugins do. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-20T04:35:36.957Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The postinstall script invokes Claude Code to add marketplaces and install plugins with user scope; the package does not require affirmative consent for this step. - **Rationale:** The automatic install-time modification of Claude Code's user plugin environment leaves a concrete residual risk, so a warning is warranted. The inspected source does not establish a broader control-surface attack or credential theft. - **Files touched:** Claude Code user plugin configuration - **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/FarhanRiuzaki/Mega-SDD.git, https://github.com/obra/superpowers.git ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The package runs scripts/postinstall.mjs automatically after installation., The postinstall script can add GitHub marketplaces and install plugins in Claude Code user scope when the CLI is present; skipping this requires an environment opt-out., The runtime also writes Claude Code settings during login, a separate user-invoked path. - **Evidence against:** The postinstall script skips plugin setup when MEGA\_CODE\_SKIP\_PLUGINS is set and proceeds only when the Claude CLI is available., The inspected plugin setup installs named plugins from configurable marketplace sources; the source does not establish credential theft or another concrete attack. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to mega-code-dev@0.5.2. - Review the evidence and your use of mega-code-dev@0.5.2 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
