## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 29 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Install Hook Abuse
- **Selected version:** 1.99.476
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. 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.

A global npm install can trigger automatic global installation of missing third-party coding runner CLIs. This is a real install-time side effect, but inspected source does not establish a control-surface takeover or other confirmed attack.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** A global npm install can trigger automatic global installation of missing third-party coding runner CLIs. This is a real install-time side effect, but inspected source does not establish a control-surface takeover or other confirmed attack.

- **Trigger:** Installing yaver-cli globally through npm, unless the postinstall or runner bootstrap is skipped by environment flags.

- **Impact:** Additional third-party command-line packages may be installed globally without a separate per-package confirmation.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, src/postinstall.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-07T23:38:30.027Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The postinstall hook checks for Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode commands and passes missing package names to npm install -g.

- **Rationale:** The postinstall hook performs automatic global installation of third-party AI coding CLIs during a global install, which is a meaningful installation side effect. The inspected code does not establish malicious control-surface mutation, so this warrants a warning rather than a block.

- **Files touched:** Global npm package installation location

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 84.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** The manifest runs src/postinstall.js as an npm postinstall hook., The hook proceeds on global installs unless skipped by environment flags., It can automatically install missing Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode packages globally; the runner step is skipped only by an opt-out flag., The install helper invokes npm install -g for the selected packages.

- **Evidence against:** The runner bootstrap is limited to global installs and can be disabled with YAVER\_SKIP\_POSTINSTALL\_RUNNERS., Inspected source shows global CLI installation, not mutation of foreign agent configuration or credential collection.

## Affected versions and remediation

- Review the evidence and your use of yaver-cli@1.99.476 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report.
