At pi extension runtime, the package alters the host agent prompt and watches its package-owned cookie drop directory. When provider cookies are present, it automatically queries provider quota APIs with them. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 89.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-05T08:15:44.915Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-05T08:16:36.878Z - **Download time:** 520 ms - **Static scan time:** 1996 ms - **AI review time:** 49446 ms - **Total time:** 51963 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** At pi extension runtime, the package alters the host agent prompt and watches its package-owned cookie drop directory. When provider cookies are present, it automatically queries provider quota APIs with them. - **Trigger:** Loading the declared pi extension; quota refresh when provider cookies exist. - **Impact:** Authenticated provider-session cookies are used against the corresponding provider endpoints; no third-party exfiltration is confirmed. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.ts, packages/cookie-sanitizer/src/watcher.ts, packages/cookie-sanitizer/src/sync.ts, harness/e2e/minimax-quota-scraper.ts, harness/e2e/openai-quota-scraper.ts, packages/scheduler-adapter/src/cron.ts, packages/scheduler-adapter/src/systemd.ts - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-05T08:16:36.878Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** First-party agent extension with cookie-backed quota scraping. - **Rationale:** This is not concrete malware: postinstall only creates a package directory and network use targets the stated providers. Warn because extension-load behavior automatically changes agent prompting and handles session cookies. - **Files touched:** package.json, index.ts, ~/.pi-harness-runtime/cookies, ~/.config/minimax-cookies.txt, ~/.config/openai-cookies.txt, ~/.pi/usage-status/ - **Network endpoints:** https://platform.minimax.io/backend/account/token\_plan/remains\_percent, https://platform.minimax.io/backend/account/token\_plan/usage\_summary, https://platform.minimax.io/backend/account/token\_plan\_credit, 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:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json postinstall creates ~/.pi-harness-runtime/cookies., index.ts registers a pi extension and appends instructions to the agent system prompt., index.ts starts a cookie-folder watcher at extension startup., Quota scrapers read exported provider cookies and send authenticated requests. - **Evidence against:** The lifecycle hook only creates a package-owned directory., No source shows exfiltration to an attacker-controlled endpoint or remote payload execution., Cookie use is scoped to MiniMax/OpenAI quota endpoints and requires user-provided/saved cookies., Scheduler and command-execution components are library APIs, not invoked by install hooks. ## Public findings ### 1.
