The package changes the instructions governing AI coding assistants in a project without an explicit user command. - **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:** 1.7.10 - **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 writes package-controlled AI instructions into the consumer project root. Cursor and Windsurf can automatically load two of those files as agent rules. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-12T13:12:15.975Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-12T13:13:03.837Z - **Download time:** 1028 ms - **Static scan time:** 2312 ms - **AI review time:** 44520 ms - **Total time:** 47862 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:** Installing the package writes package-controlled AI instructions into the consumer project root. Cursor and Windsurf can automatically load two of those files as agent rules. - **Trigger:** npm installation runs the postinstall lifecycle hook. - **Impact:** The package changes the instructions governing AI coding assistants in a project without an explicit user command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.cjs, .cursorrules - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-12T13:13:03.837Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic copying of AI-agent rule and guidance files into the consumer project. - **Attack narrative:** During installation, package.json invokes scripts/postinstall.cjs. That script calculates the consumer project root and copies six package-supplied files into it whenever they are absent. The copied .cursorrules and .windsurfrules are AI-agent control files, and their content imposes mandatory reading and package-preference rules. This is an unconsented install-time mutation of a broad project AI-agent control surface. - **Rationale:** The package automatically modifies consumer-project AI-agent configuration through postinstall. The local-only implementation does not remove the concrete control-surface hijack. - **Files touched:** AI\_READING\_FLOW.md, .cursorrules, .windsurfrules, AI\_GUIDELINES.md, AI\_GUIDELINES\_README.md, AI\_SETUP\_COMPLETE.md ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** The install-time postinstall hook automatically runs the package script., The script resolves the consuming project root and copies six AI instruction files there without consent., It writes Cursor and Windsurf rule files that IDE agents auto-load., The copied rules direct AI assistants to read package-controlled files and strictly prefer this package's components. - **Evidence against:** The installer uses only local filesystem APIs; no network or credential collection is present., No shell execution, payload download, or self-dependency is present. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ajaysoni7832/lean-ids-components@1.7.10. - Avoid installing @ajaysoni7832/lean-ids-components@1.7.10. 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.
