Postinstall creates global Claude Code and Codex skill entries, making package instructions available to those agents. User-invoked CLI commands attach to a local CDP browser and can evaluate supplied JavaScript in the active page. No confirmed data exfiltration or foreign-agent configuration overwrite was found. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-12T01:55:47.334Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-12T01:57:10.868Z - **Download time:** 258 ms - **Static scan time:** 99 ms - **AI review time:** 83176 ms - **Total time:** 83534 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Postinstall creates global Claude Code and Codex skill entries, making package instructions available to those agents. User-invoked CLI commands attach to a local CDP browser and can evaluate supplied JavaScript in the active page. No confirmed data exfiltration or foreign-agent configuration overwrite was found. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall; later agent skill invocation or explicit CLI command - **Impact:** Persistent package-owned agent integration can steer browser automation and access the active browser session when invoked. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install-skill.js, .claude/skills/ttj-skills-browser/SKILL.md, dist/browser.js, dist/cdp.js, dist/utils.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-12T01:57:10.868Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** global agent-skill installation plus localhost CDP browser control and self-update - **Rationale:** The package performs unconsented postinstall mutation of global agent skill directories and provides powerful browser-session automation, so it warrants a warning. The installed skill is first-party and same-named, with no demonstrated malicious chain, so a publish block is not supported. - **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/install-skill.js, .claude/skills/ttj-skills-browser/SKILL.md, ~/.claude/skills/ttj-skills-browser/SKILL.md, ~/.agents/skills/ttj-skills-browser/SKILL.md, ~/.ttj-skills-browser/.last-update-check - **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org/ttj-skills-browser/latest, http://127.0.0.1:\ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** \`package.json\` runs \`postinstall\` automatically., \`scripts/install-skill.js\` copies a package skill into \`~/.claude/skills/ttj-skills-browser\` and writes \`~/.agents/skills/ttj-skills-browser/SKILL.md\`., The installed skill auto-invokes and directs all browser work through this package., \`dist/cdp.js\` executes caller-provided JavaScript in the active browser page via CDP., \`dist/browser.js\` auto-runs \`npm install -g ttj-skills-browser@latest\` after a registry version check. - **Evidence against:** The lifecycle script installs only a same-named, first-party skill; it does not overwrite unrelated agent settings., No credential, environment, or arbitrary user-file harvesting was found., No exfiltration endpoint or remote payload download was found., CDP actions are exposed as explicit CLI commands against localhost., The only package network endpoint is its npm registry update check. ## Public findings ### 1.
