## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — An existing command at either path can be removed and subsequent invocations can run this package's binary instead.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Block by default
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Destructive Action
- **Selected version:** 1.20.3
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

LPM AI independently confirmed malicious behavior in this version and supplies the Firewall block.

AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The automatic postinstall hook unlinks existing system command paths named innexarcode and replaces them with links to this package's binary, although the package declares opencode-engos as its command. This is an unrelated overwrite of user system state, so block publication.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** The automatic installer replaces existing system command paths with links to the package binary.

- **Trigger:** Package installation runs postinstall.mjs automatically.

- **Impact:** An existing command at either path can be removed and subsequent invocations can run this package's binary instead.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.mjs

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-11-03T14:09:20.152Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The hook unlinks existing /usr/local/bin/innexarcode and /usr/bin/innexarcode paths, then creates symlinks to its binary.

- **Attack narrative:** During installation, the hook may fetch and install a platform binary, then automatically replaces existing /usr/local/bin/innexarcode and /usr/bin/innexarcode paths with links to that binary. The package advertises the command opencode-engos, so overwriting the differently named innexarcode command is unrelated to its declared command and can redirect or remove an existing system command.

- **Rationale:** The automatic postinstall hook unlinks existing system command paths named innexarcode and replaces them with links to this package's binary, although the package declares opencode-engos as its command. This is an unrelated overwrite of user system state, so block publication.

- **Files touched:** /usr/local/bin/innexarcode, /usr/bin/innexarcode, /tmp/postinstall.log

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 88.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for block:** The postinstall hook runs automatically when the package is installed., On non-Windows systems, the hook deletes any existing /usr/local/bin/innexarcode and /usr/bin/innexarcode paths and replaces them with symlinks to its binary., The package exposes the command opencode-engos, while the install hook creates the differently named innexarcode command links.

- **Evidence against:** The hook retrieves a platform binary from npm and verifies it with --version, consistent with installing a CLI binary., The shipped bin/opencode-engos.exe is a short shell wrapper that reports an error if postinstall was not run; no concealed payload was identified there.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to opencode-engos-ai@1.20.3.

- Avoid installing opencode-engos-ai@1.20.3. 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.
