It installs and enables hooks and plugins that run package code during future agent and Git actions. - **Trigger:** npm installation, which invokes postinstall. - **Impact:** The package gains persistent control over AI-agent tool gating and repository commit hooks without an explicit setup command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/node/postinstall.cjs, scripts/node/install-bridges.cjs, scripts/node/bridge-mcp-wiring.cjs, scripts/hooks/install-hooks.cjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-04T05:31:53.231Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic installation of agent configurations, plugins, hooks, and command registrations. - **Attack narrative:** A normal npm install invokes postinstall. That script deploys project configuration, copies and registers plugins in host-level AI-agent directories, enables an OpenClaw pre-tool plugin, and installs Git hooks. These changes cause package-controlled code to run in later agent and commit workflows without a separate user setup action. - **Rationale:** The automatic lifecycle hook broadly mutates foreign project and host AI-agent control surfaces, including enabling a host-level tool hook. This meets the install-hook abuse blocking policy even though no direct secret exfiltration was found. - **Files touched:** AGENTS.md, .gitignore, .mcp.json, opencode.json, .grok/plugins/0xray, ~/.grok/plugins/0xray, ~/.grok/skills, ~/.hermes/plugins/xray-hermes, ~/.hermes/config.yaml, ~/.openclaw/hooks/xray-pre-tool.mjs, ~/.openclaw/hooks/xray-pre-tool.json, ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json, .git/hooks/pre-commit, .git/hooks/post-commit ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The package automatically runs a postinstall script., The postinstall script installs four platform bridges into the consumer environment., The installer changes project agent configuration and installs Grok, Hermes, and OpenClaw integrations., It writes and enables a host-level OpenClaw pre-tool hook without a user command., It also installs executable Git hooks in the consumer repository. - **Evidence against:** The inspected install path contains no direct credential harvesting or outbound data-exfiltration code., The OpenClaw sample endpoint is loopback only. ## Public findings ### 1.
