## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Installation rewrites selected files in the separately installed pi-ai AI-provider dependency. No network or credential-exfiltration path was confirmed in the inspected hooks.

- **Trigger:** npm installation

- **Impact:** Changes the behavior of a shared AI runtime dependency in the installation tree.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/preinstall-package-manager-warning.mjs, scripts/postinstall-bundled-plugins.mjs, scripts/postinstall-patch-pi-ai.mjs, dist/commands/doctor/shared/plugin-registry-migration.js, dist/windows-spawn-D7GZrz9v.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-27T09:53:28.271Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** Install-time ancestor dependency patching

- **Rationale:** The package is not proven malicious, but its postinstall hook modifies a foreign AI runtime dependency outside its own directory. This warrants a warning because the mutation occurs automatically at install time.

- **Files touched:** scripts/preinstall-package-manager-warning.mjs, scripts/postinstall-bundled-plugins.mjs, scripts/postinstall-patch-pi-ai.mjs, node\_modules/@mariozechner/pi-ai/dist/providers/openai-completions.js, node\_modules/@mariozechner/pi-ai/dist/providers/openai-responses-shared.js

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 88.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** The install hook runs a script that searches ancestor directories for a separate pi-ai dependency., That script rewrites two pi-ai provider files during installation., The hook changes AI-provider cost handling without an explicit user command.

- **Evidence against:** The preinstall hook only detects the package manager and prints a warning., The patch is narrowly anchored and skips missing or unexpected files., No credential collection, network request, remote payload, or shell execution was found in the inspected lifecycle sources.
