OpenSSF Malicious Packages via OSV
Summary
Malicious code in opencode-skills-collection (npm)
Details
Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.

Independent LPM AI assessment
SuspiciousIndependent AI assessment: suspicious. LPM AI assessed this version as suspicious; the assessments disagree.
Source confirms automatic first-party skill installation during OpenCode setup, which warrants a warning under the agent extension lifecycle policy. The reviewed sources do not establish a malicious attack, and the Apify credential use is directed to its intended service.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
OpenCode loads the plugin and invokes its setup or server callback.
Impact
Bundled agent skills become available to OpenCode. No confirmed exfiltration or destructive effect was identified.
Mechanism
The plugin creates its skills directory, runs the bundled-skill installation pipeline, and generates skill pointers.
AI rationale
Source confirms automatic first-party skill installation during OpenCode setup, which warrants a warning under the agent extension lifecycle policy. The reviewed sources do not establish a malicious attack, and the Apify credential use is directed to its intended service.
Evidence
dist/index.jsdist/skill-pointer/index.js
Independent scan evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 84.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI warning decision
- The plugin setup callback runs a startup pipeline that creates the active skills directory and installs bundled skills into an OpenCode vault.
- The startup pipeline also generates skill pointers in the active skills directory, so package-owned agent content is added automatically when the plugin starts.
- An Apify helper reads APIFY_TOKEN and sends it to api.apify.com for the explicitly requested actor run; this supports the declared integration rather than an unrelated recipient.
Evidence against
- The only npm lifecycle script is prepublishOnly and runs the build; no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook is declared.
- The reviewed Apify helper requires an actor and input on the command line and uses the token with api.apify.com.
- The installer’s writes are limited to bundled skills, the OpenCode vault, and pointer files; reviewed code does not establish exfiltration or destructive behavior.
