A dependency installation can enable package-controlled agent integrations without an explicit setup command or consent prompt. - **Verdict:** AI-agent control-surface policy finding - **Product-default install policy:** Warn by default; block when configured - **Firewall policy:** Warn by default - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Soft block: AI-agent control surface - **Selected version:** 4.0.21 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This finding concerns changes to an AI agent's instructions or configuration without explicit user action. It does not by itself establish malware intent. The CLI warns by default and blocks when configured for this policy. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. An npm postinstall automatically changes the consuming project's AI-agent integration surfaces. No network exfiltration endpoint was identified. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-28T07:25:59.850Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-28T07:27:26.726Z - **Download time:** 1031 ms - **Static scan time:** 6670 ms - **AI review time:** 79174 ms - **Total time:** 86876 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:** An npm postinstall automatically changes the consuming project's AI-agent integration surfaces. No network exfiltration endpoint was identified. - **Trigger:** Installing the package runs its postinstall lifecycle hook. - **Impact:** A dependency installation can enable package-controlled agent integrations without an explicit setup command or consent prompt. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/node/postinstall.cjs, scripts/node/install-bridges.cjs, scripts/node/bridge-mcp-wiring.cjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-28T07:27:26.726Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook installs multiple agent bridges and writes or merges MCP configuration, including an existing OpenClaw registry. - **Attack narrative:** On installation, the package's postinstall handler targets the consumer project and invokes a multi-platform bridge installer. That installer deploys configuration and integrations for several AI-agent hosts. Its MCP wiring merges package-defined servers into existing host configuration and writes the result. This is an unconsented lifecycle mutation of broad AI-agent control surfaces; it does not require the user to invoke a setup command. - **Rationale:** The automatic lifecycle path performs broad AI-agent configuration and plugin wiring in a consumer project. This meets the policy threshold for unconsented install-time mutation of foreign AI-agent control surfaces. - **Files touched:** AGENTS.md, .gitignore, .xray, opencode.json, .opencode, .grok, .cursor, OpenClaw MCP configuration ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** The package declares an automatic postinstall lifecycle hook., The postinstall handler invokes bridge installation against the consumer target directory., The bridge installer automatically deploys configuration and integrations for OpenCode, Grok, Hermes, OpenClaw, and Cursor., The OpenClaw registry writer merges package MCP servers into an existing configuration and writes it to disk. - **Evidence against:** No credential collection, data export, or unrelated network recipient was identified in the inspected lifecycle path., The dependency list does not contain a runtime dependency on 0xray itself. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to 0xray@4.0.21. - Avoid installing 0xray@4.0.21. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
