Third-party agent skill instructions and a per-session shell command are installed into the user's AI clients without a separate consent step, changing how those agents start and what they load. - **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:** 1.10.0 - **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. npm postinstall copies this skill into Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex, and Antigravity skill directories whenever those clients are detected. For Claude Code it also writes a SessionStart command hook into user-level settings.json so every project on the machine runs the packaged Python checker at session start, with no prompt. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 95.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-16T18:21:48.086Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-16T18:24:35.992Z - **Download time:** 1258 ms - **Static scan time:** 195 ms - **AI review time:** 166452 ms - **Total time:** 167906 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

For Claude Code it also writes a SessionStart command hook into user-level settings.json so every project on the machine runs the packaged Python checker at session start, with no prompt. - **Trigger:** npm install or npm update of this package, which runs the postinstall script. - **Impact:** Third-party agent skill instructions and a per-session shell command are installed into the user's AI clients without a separate consent step, changing how those agents start and what they load. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, scripts/lib.js, scripts/preuninstall.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-16T18:24:35.992Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** unconsented postinstall write of foreign agent skills and a machine-wide Claude SessionStart hook - **Attack narrative:** When npm installs this package, postinstall.js runs with no prompt. If Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex, or Antigravity is detected by CLI, env var, or a home such as ~/.claude, it copies the skill tree into that agent's skills directory. For Claude Code it then writes a SessionStart command hook into user-level settings.json so every project on the machine runs the packaged validator when a session starts. The installer treats the npm install itself as consent and never asks. That is unconsented mutation of foreign, machine-wide AI-agent control surfaces. - **Rationale:** postinstall copies this skill into Claude, Gemini, Codex, and Antigravity skill directories and, for Claude Code, injects a machine-wide SessionStart hook into user-level settings.json without a prompt. That is unconsented install-time mutation of foreign AI-agent control surfaces, so the package is blocked. - **Files touched:** ~/.claude/skills/kb-agentic, ~/.gemini/skills/kb-agentic, ~/.codex/skills/kb-agentic, ~/.gemini/config/skills/kb-agentic, ~/.claude/settings.json, ~/.agentic-sdlc/orient-hook-wired ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** package.json runs scripts/postinstall.js automatically after install and scripts/preuninstall.js on uninstall., postinstall copies the packaged skill tree into each detected agent's skills directory with no prompt., postinstall says the npm install is consent, never asks, and then wires a Claude machine-wide SessionStart hook., lib.js treats a CLI on PATH, an env override, or a config home such as ~/.claude as enough to target that agent's skill path., wireGlobalOrientHook writes a command hook into user-level settings.json so Claude Code runs the package validator at session start on every project., preuninstall deletes those skill directories and strips matching SessionStart entries from the same settings file. - **Evidence against:** Install scripts show no HTTP client, eval, or remote payload download., scripts/init.js only seeds a project when the user runs kb-agentic-init., gemini-extension.json is a name, version, and author manifest with no extra commands., package.json has no dependencies and no self-dependency on another release., The copied files are this package's own skill markdown and Python checker, not a hidden binary. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @antoneeo/kb-agentic-skill@1.10.0. - Avoid installing @antoneeo/kb-agentic-skill@1.10.0. 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.
