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. The package performs an unexpected project-local agent skill write and may commit it automatically when the development server starts. The skill content is limited to Vike documentation, and the helper has CI and configuration opt-outs, so this warrants a warning rather than a block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-03T21:29:17.323Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-03T21:30:32.725Z - **Download time:** 501 ms - **Static scan time:** 1543 ms - **AI review time:** 73358 ms - **Total time:** 75402 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 default Vite development-server task adds a Vike skill to project-local agent skill directories and may commit it automatically; this is an unexpected agent-configuration and repository change. - **Trigger:** Starting the Vike Vite development server; the task runs after a 15-second delay unless skipped or disabled. - **Impact:** Project-local agents may load the added Vike documentation guidance, and the package may create a Git commit without an explicit request to add the skill. - **Evidence paths:** dist/node/vite/plugins/pluginDev.js, dist/node/vite/plugins/pluginDev/autoAddVikeSkill.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-03T21:30:32.725Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Discovers or accepts skill directories, writes \`vike/SKILL.md\`, then stages and commits those files with Git hooks disabled. - **Rationale:** The package performs an unexpected project-local agent skill write and may commit it automatically when the development server starts. The skill content is limited to Vike documentation, and the helper has CI and configuration opt-outs, so this warrants a warning rather than a block. - **Files touched:** \*\*/skills/vike/SKILL.md (under discovered or configured skill directories) ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The Vite development plugin schedules the skill-writing helper 15 seconds after server startup., By default, the helper discovers existing skill directories and writes \`vike/SKILL.md\` into them., It stages and commits the new skill files with a fixed Vike identity and \`--no-verify\`, bypassing Git hooks., The generated skill points to Vike documentation; the inspected code shows no network request or credential collection. - **Evidence against:** The helper skips CI and can be disabled with \`ai.skill: false\`., By default it targets existing skill directories, and its Git commit is limited to the skill files., The generated skill contains a Vike documentation link, with no review verdict instructions or other apparent control payload. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to vike@0.4.263. - Review the evidence and your use of vike@0.4.263 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.
