AI Security Review

scanned 2d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Automatic installation modifies OpenCode's user-wide agent control surface without interactive consent. Installed plugins alter system context and tool execution.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review

Trigger

npm installation with postinstall scripts enabled.

Impact

Subsequent OpenCode sessions receive package-defined enforcement instructions and tool gates across projects.

Mechanism

The postinstall hook supplies --yes, bypasses confirmation, and copies executable plugins and agent resources into OpenCode's configuration directories.

Policy narrative

The published postinstall hook invokes the installer with --yes rather than --dry-run. This suppresses its confirmation prompt and activates writes to OpenCode's user-wide configuration, including plugins, skills, agent instructions, and commands. The copied plugin injects enforcement text into system context and intercepts tool execution. Backups and home-directory restrictions do not provide consent for modifying this foreign agent control surface.

AI rationale

Inspected source establishes unconsented postinstall mutation of OpenCode's user-wide agent control surface. This meets the blocking policy independently of scanner similarity labels or citation limits.
