Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. LPM treats this as warn-only first-party agent extension lifecycle risk. A global npm installation automatically configures the detected Claude Code installation. It adds a package-owned status-line command, permission rules, and command files, then contacts the package service for registration and feed data. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 89.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-06T03:14:16.091Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-06T03:15:19.896Z - **Download time:** 504 ms - **Static scan time:** 568 ms - **AI review time:** 62733 ms - **Total time:** 63805 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** A global npm installation automatically configures the detected Claude Code installation. It adds a package-owned status-line command, permission rules, and command files, then contacts the package service for registration and feed data. - **Trigger:** Global npm installation of the package when Claude Code is detected. - **Impact:** Changes the user's Claude configuration and grants its generated commands permission to invoke the package CLI; subsequent status-line activity can contact the service. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/postinstall.js, dist/commands/install.js, dist/adapters/claude.js, dist/api.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-06T03:15:19.896Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Postinstall-driven Claude extension setup and service registration. - **Rationale:** This is not shown to be malware, but automatic global-install mutation of Claude Code's control surface is a meaningful lifecycle risk. The package should be warned rather than blocked because the integration is package-owned and the inspected code contains no concrete malicious chain. - **Files touched:** ~/.claude/settings.json, ~/.claude/commands/pinglet.md, ~/.claude/commands/pinglet-login.md, ~/.claude/commands/pinglet-logout.md, ~/.pinglet/config.json - **Network endpoints:** https://pinglet.halluci.co.kr ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 89.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The global-install postinstall hook automatically runs the installer., The installer selects Claude integration by default when Claude is detected., The integration changes Claude's global status-line command and adds permission rules., It creates Claude command files that invoke this package's CLI., It registers an installation with the configured service and sends operating-system and version metadata. - **Evidence against:** The hook returns immediately unless npm marks the install as global., Codex integration requires an explicit --codex option., Existing status-line settings are not replaced unless forced, and no secret harvesting or remote code download is present in the inspected source. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to pinglet-cli@0.6.2. - Review the evidence and your use of pinglet-cli@0.6.2 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
