Loading the declared pi extension automatically alters agent prompts, watches a package-owned cookie drop directory, and can query provider usage with supplied cookies. Install-time behavior only creates that drop directory. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 89.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-05T08:18:52.346Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-05T08:19:40.085Z - **Download time:** 759 ms - **Static scan time:** 2725 ms - **AI review time:** 44253 ms - **Total time:** 47739 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Loading the declared pi extension automatically alters agent prompts, watches a package-owned cookie drop directory, and can query provider usage with supplied cookies. Install-time behavior only creates that drop directory. - **Trigger:** Pi loads index.ts; quota requests occur on later turns only when relevant cookie files exist. - **Impact:** Can influence pi agent workflow and use user-supplied provider sessions to retrieve usage data; cron and Gist features require later API or user-command activation. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.ts, packages/auth/src/minimax-browser-auth.ts, packages/cookie-sanitizer/src/watcher.ts, packages/scheduler-adapter/src/cron.ts, packages/clipboard/src/github-login.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-05T08:19:40.085Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** first-party agent extension with cookie-backed quota scraping and optional scheduling - **Rationale:** The package has real high-impact runtime capabilities and automatic extension behavior, warranting a warning. Its only postinstall action is directory creation and the reviewed remote actions are provider-aligned or explicitly user-invoked, so malicious blocking criteria are not met. - **Files touched:** package.json, index.ts, packages/cookie-sanitizer/src/sync.ts, packages/cookie-sanitizer/src/atomic-write.ts, packages/auth/src/minimax-browser-auth.ts, packages/scheduler-adapter/src/cron.ts - **Network endpoints:** https://platform.minimax.io/console/usage, https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/wham/usage ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 89.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** package.json postinstall creates ~/.pi-harness-runtime/cookies., package.json auto-registers index.ts as a pi extension., index.ts injects persistent agent instructions and starts a cookie watcher on extension load., index.ts auto-fetches provider quota after turns when cookie sources exist., packages/auth/src/minimax-browser-auth.ts launches Chrome/CDP and retains a persistent MiniMax profile., packages/scheduler-adapter/src/cron.ts can write crontab entries when its schedule API is invoked. - **Evidence against:** No lifecycle hook executes the browser, scheduler, or network code., Postinstall is limited to mkdir; it does not alter pi configuration or agent controls., Cookie handling writes local 0600 caches; no unrelated remote exfiltration path was found., GitHub Gist upload requires explicit /github-login and the disabled copy shortcut., MiniMax browser authentication requires an explicit CLI command and manual login. ## Public findings ### 1.
