The postinstall hook mutates global Claude Code and Codex skill directories without a separate user command. At runtime, the CLI can self-update and execute user-supplied JavaScript in its browser profile. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-12T00:27:02.053Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-12T00:28:19.058Z - **Download time:** 260 ms - **Static scan time:** 64 ms - **AI review time:** 76680 ms - **Total time:** 77005 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** The postinstall hook mutates global Claude Code and Codex skill directories without a separate user command. At runtime, the CLI can self-update and execute user-supplied JavaScript in its browser profile. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall; later explicit CLI or installed-skill invocation - **Impact:** Persists package instructions in agent skill paths and can control the user's active browser when invoked. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install-skill.js, dist/browser.js, dist/cdp.js, .claude/skills/ttj-skills-browser/SKILL.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-12T00:28:19.058Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Global AI-agent skill installation, runtime self-update, and local CDP browser control - **Rationale:** This is a real install-time global AI-agent extension mutation plus runtime self-update, but it is scoped to the package's own named skill and lacks a concrete malicious chain. Per policy, first-party package-owned agent extension setup warrants a warning rather than a block. - **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-installed, dist/browser.js, dist/cdp.js - **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org/ttj-skills-browser/latest, http://127.0.0.1:${port} ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json postinstall runs scripts/install-skill.js., scripts/install-skill.js writes global ~/.claude and ~/.agents skill files at install time., scripts/install-skill.js creates ~/.ttj-skills-browser-installed., dist/browser.js self-updates via npm install -g at CLI runtime., dist/cdp.js evaluates caller-supplied JavaScript in the active browser tab. - **Evidence against:** No credential, environment, or arbitrary-file harvesting found., Registry request targets only registry.npmjs.org for its own version., No exfiltration endpoint or remote payload loader found., CDP eval, navigation, and screenshots require explicit CLI commands., Lifecycle script copies only the package's named skill file. ## Public findings ### 1.
