## Public findings

### 1. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/pi-worker@0.11.0/package.json>)

Package defines install-time lifecycle scripts.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```json
scripts.postinstall = node npm/scripts/postinstall.mjs
```

### 2. Medium: Ambiguous Install Lifecycle Script
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 75.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/pi-worker@0.11.0/package.json>)

Install-time lifecycle script is not statically allowlisted and needs review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```json
scripts.postinstall = node npm/scripts/postinstall.mjs
```

### 3. Low: Scripts Present
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

Package declares npm scripts.

### 4. Medium: Environment Vars
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 75.0%

Package source references environment variables.

### 5. Low: Filesystem
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 70.0%

Package source references filesystem APIs.

### 6. Critical: Ai Agent Control Hijack
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** npm/lib/skill-install.mjs
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/pi-worker@0.11.0/npm/lib/skill-install.mjs>)

Source creates an unconsented AI-agent control surface through install-time mutation or a default unauthenticated remote skill channel.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
Install-time code directly mutates a foreign AI-agent control surface:
L233: const resolved = resolveTargets(rules, runtime) ?? [];
L234: return targetsFromResolved([...resolved, path.join(home, ".agents", "skills")], cwd, platform);
L235: }
...
L237: function requiredTargetList({ rules, agentIds, runtime, cwd, platform }) {
L238: const agentsById = new Map(rules.agents.map((agent) => [agent.id, agent]));
L239: const resolved = agentIds.map((id) => {
...
L677: 
L678: const canonical = path.join(home, ".agents", "skills", SKILL_NAME);
L679: const states = [];
...
L811: });
L812: const agentsById = new Map(rules.agents.map((agent) => [agent.id, agent]));
L813: const detectedGlobalAgentIds = detected.filter((id) => agentsById.get(id)?.rule.kind !== "no-global-target");

### 7. Medium: Ships Native Binary
- **Category:** Artifact Inventory
- **Confidence:** 75.0%
- **Path:** npm/native/linux-arm64/pi-worker
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/pi-worker@0.11.0/npm/native/linux-arm64/pi-worker>)

Package ships native binary artifacts.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```text
path = npm/native/linux-arm64/pi-worker
kind = native_binary
sizeBytes = 4128930
magicHex = [redacted]
```

### 8. Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review
- **Category:** Artifact Inventory
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean.

### 9. High: Known Malware Source Similarity
- **Category:** Static
- **Confidence:** 97.0%
- **Path:** npm/lib/skill-install.mjs
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/pi-worker@0.11.0/npm/lib/skill-install.mjs>)

Source file is highly similar to a previously finalized malicious package; route for source-aware review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
matchType = normalized_sha256
matchedPackage = pi-worker@0.8.0
matchedPath = npm/lib/sk[redacted]
matchedIdentity = npm:cGktd29ya2Vy:0.8.0
similarity = 1.000
summary = normalized source hash matched finalized malicious source
