Package-supplied agent instructions and hook behavior become active in the consumer repository. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Warn by default - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Soft block: AI-agent control surface - **Selected version:** 0.11.0 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. An npm postinstall mutates the consuming project’s .agents control surface without an explicit command. It also installs persistent Git hooks when the target is a repository. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-19T15:44:06.062Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-19T15:44:53.898Z - **Download time:** 510 ms - **Static scan time:** 173 ms - **AI review time:** 47151 ms - **Total time:** 47836 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** An npm postinstall mutates the consuming project’s .agents control surface without an explicit command. It also installs persistent Git hooks when the target is a repository. - **Trigger:** npm install of the package in a consuming project - **Impact:** Package-supplied agent instructions and hook behavior become active in the consumer repository. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/cli.js, hooks/agent/session-start.sh, hooks/git/commit-msg, hooks/git/pre-push - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-19T15:44:53.898Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall symlinks agent skills/hooks and Git hooks into the consumer project - **Attack narrative:** Installing the package automatically calls its CLI against INIT\_CWD. The CLI creates consumer-project .agents links to packaged skills and agent hooks, and in Git repositories links packaged commit-msg and pre-push hooks into .git/hooks. This is unconsented install-time mutation of a foreign project’s AI-agent control surface and persistent repository behavior. - **Rationale:** The lifecycle hook concretely modifies consumer AI-agent and Git control paths, rather than merely exposing an explicit setup command. No exfiltration was found, but the unconsented postinstall control-surface mutation meets the blocking policy. - **Files touched:** .agents/skills/\*, .agents/constitution, .agents/hooks/agent, .agents/hooks/git, .git/hooks/commit-msg, .git/hooks/pre-push ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs a postinstall CLI automatically., Postinstall uses the consumer install directory and invokes link()., link() creates .agents symlinks for shipped skills and agent hooks, then installs Git hooks. - **Evidence against:** No outbound network or credential-exfiltration code found in inspected executables., The separate brainstorming server defaults to loopback and is user-invoked. ## Public findings ### 1.
