Unconsented persistence of attacker-controlled instructions across future OpenCode agent sessions. - **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:** 1.0.0 - **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 install hook performs the policy-defined blocking behavior: unconsented \`postinstall\` writes to global AI-agent control paths. Lack of network or credential theft does not remove that concrete control-hijack surface. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 97.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-17T03:03:56.270Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-17T03:05:03.468Z - **Download time:** 510 ms - **Static scan time:** 89 ms - **AI review time:** 66599 ms - **Total time:** 67198 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:** An npm \`postinstall\` automatically writes package-controlled AI-agent prompts into global OpenCode and agent-skill directories. These files can influence later agent behavior after OpenCode restarts. - **Trigger:** Installing \`novel-skill-opencode@1.0.0\` or importing its \`main\` entrypoint. - **Impact:** Unconsented persistence of attacker-controlled instructions across future OpenCode agent sessions. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, install.js, cli.js, skills/SKILL.md, agents/novel-lead.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-17T03:05:03.468Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Postinstall copies package-supplied agent and skill instruction files into home-directory AI-agent control paths. - **Attack narrative:** On npm installation, \`postinstall\` executes \`install.js\` without a user command. It creates global OpenCode and agent-skill directories beneath the user's home directory and copies seven package-owned agent prompts plus a skill prompt there. The package tells users to restart OpenCode, enabling these persisted instructions to affect subsequent agent sessions. This is an unconsented install-time mutation of a broad AI-agent control surface. - **Rationale:** The install hook performs the policy-defined blocking behavior: unconsented \`postinstall\` writes to global AI-agent control paths. Lack of network or credential theft does not remove that concrete control-hijack surface. - **Files touched:** package.json, install.js, agents/novel-lead.md, agents/novel-outline.md, agents/novel-audit.md, agents/novel-writer.md, agents/novel-script.md, agents/novel-material.md, agents/novel-video.md, skills/SKILL.md, ~/.opencode/agents/novel-\*.md, ~/.agents/skills/novel/SKILL.md ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 97.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** \`package.json\` runs \`node install.js\` in \`postinstall\`., \`install.js\` runs during installation and targets the user's home directory., \`install.js\` copies seven package agent prompts into \`~/.opencode/agents/\`., \`install.js\` copies \`skills/SKILL.md\` into \`~/.agents/skills/novel/SKILL.md\`., The installed prompts instruct an OpenCode agent system and are loaded after restart. - **Evidence against:** No network endpoints or HTTP client calls found., No credential harvesting, environment reads, or remote payload execution found., Configured \`config/AGENTS.md\`, \`config/novella.json\`, and \`uninstall.js\` are absent, so those declared actions do not occur. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to novel-skill-opencode@1.0.0. - Avoid installing novel-skill-opencode@1.0.0. 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.
