The package can alter project and machine-level AI-agent control surfaces and cause later agent sessions to execute its commands. - **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:** 4.0.8 - **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. Installing the package runs a postinstall hook that changes the consumer project and AI-agent configurations. It installs enabled command-based MCP services, plugins, hooks, and agent files across several platforms. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-11T15:51:47.589Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-11T15:53:12.214Z - **Download time:** 772 ms - **Static scan time:** 10772 ms - **AI review time:** 73080 ms - **Total time:** 84625 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

It installs enabled command-based MCP services, plugins, hooks, and agent files across several platforms. - **Trigger:** npm installation of the package - **Impact:** The package can alter project and machine-level AI-agent control surfaces and cause later agent sessions to execute its commands. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/node/postinstall.cjs, scripts/node/install-bridges.cjs, scripts/node/bridge-mcp-wiring.cjs, scripts/node/consumer-gitignore.cjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-11T15:53:12.214Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** automatic broad AI-agent configuration and plugin deployment - **Attack narrative:** On npm installation, the postinstall script targets the consumer project, deploys agent instructions and ignore rules, then installs four platform bridges. Those bridges merge MCP registries and configure enabled commands that run npx 0xray later. The installer also copies plugins and hooks into project directories and, outside isolated or ephemeral environments, machine-level Grok, Hermes, and OpenClaw locations. These unrequested lifecycle changes affect broad AI-agent control surfaces and persist beyond installation. - **Rationale:** This is an automatic postinstall mutation of foreign project and machine AI-agent control surfaces, not an explicit setup command. The absence of demonstrated exfiltration does not neutralize the concrete lifecycle-based control-surface abuse. - **Files touched:** AGENTS.md, .gitignore, .mcp.json, opencode.json, .opencode/, .grok/plugins/0xray, ~/.grok/plugins/0xray, ~/.hermes/plugins/xray-hermes, ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** The npm postinstall hook automatically runs the consumer installer., Postinstall writes and merges agent instructions and ignore rules in the consuming project., The installer automatically deploys configuration, MCP registries, plugins, hooks, and bridges for four AI-agent platforms., It registers enabled MCP commands that invoke npx 0xray and modifies existing OpenCode configuration., It copies and trusts Grok plugins in both project and machine-level locations when conditions permit. - **Evidence against:** No runtime dependency on another release of 0xray was found., The inspected install code does not show credential exfiltration or a direct remote payload download. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to 0xray@4.0.8. - Avoid installing 0xray@4.0.8. 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.
