## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 12 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:** 1.0.55
- **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.

Running the designkit command loads an opaque bundle that can fetch update metadata and install a selected release globally. This is an automatic system-level package mutation, but not an install lifecycle hook.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Running the designkit command loads an opaque bundle that can fetch update metadata and install a selected release globally. This is an automatic system-level package mutation, but not an install lifecycle hook.

- **Trigger:** A user runs the designkit CLI.

- **Impact:** A remote service can select a package version that the CLI installs globally under the user's permissions.

- **Evidence paths:** bin/designkit-cli.js, dist/index.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-04T08:54:09.178Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Obfuscated remote version check followed by global npm self-install and process re-execution.

- **Rationale:** This is not a confirmed install-hook attack or credential theft, but deliberate whole-bundle obfuscation combined with automatic remote-selected global self-install is a concrete unresolved supply-chain risk.

- **Files touched:** bin/designkit-cli.js, dist/index.js

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 87.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for warning:** The published CLI immediately loads a heavily obfuscated dist/index.js bundle., The bundle checks a remotely supplied version and automatically runs npm install -g meitu-designkit-cli@\<version\>, then re-executes itself., The update path is reached during normal CLI execution and obscures its endpoint and control flow.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The observed network code is consistent with CLI authentication and product API calls; static inspection did not confirm secret harvesting or unrelated exfiltration., The manifest has no runtime dependency on its own package name.

## Affected versions and remediation
