Injected agent instructions can influence future Codex behavior and direct CLI/network actions. - **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:** 0.1.45 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Npm installation silently modifies Codex's global skill control surface. It installs three agent skills under ~/.codex/skills without user invocation. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-09T04:34:41.685Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-09T04:35:13.692Z - **Download time:** 783 ms - **Static scan time:** 154 ms - **AI review time:** 31066 ms - **Total time:** 32007 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Npm installation silently modifies Codex's global skill control surface. It installs three agent skills under ~/.codex/skills without user invocation. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall - **Impact:** Injected agent instructions can influence future Codex behavior and direct CLI/network actions. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, dist/skill/skill-manager.js, skills/using-vvicat-ai-short-studio-cli/SKILL.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-09T04:35:13.692Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** automatic bundled-skill deployment into Codex agent directories - **Attack narrative:** During npm postinstall, the package imports its skill manager and copies bundled skills into ~/.codex/skills by default. This silently creates or updates persistent Codex agent instructions outside the package, enabling future agent behavior to be influenced without an explicit user setup command. - **Rationale:** The install-time mutation targets a foreign, broad AI-agent control surface and is unconsented. Managed-target safeguards do not remove the initial automatic injection. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.mjs, dist/skill/skill-manager.js, skills/using-vvicat-ai-short-studio-cli/SKILL.md, skills/short-drama, skills/humanizer, ~/.codex/skills/using-vvicat-ai-short-studio-cli, ~/.codex/skills/short-drama, ~/.codex/skills/humanizer - **Network endpoints:** https://ai-short-studio.vvicat.dev ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs scripts/postinstall.mjs at npm postinstall., scripts/postinstall.mjs automatically installs bundled skills unless opted out., dist/skill/skill-manager.js defaults installation to ~/.codex/skills., Postinstall copies three package skills, writes manifests, and replaces managed targets., Bundled CLI skill instructs agents to run commands and auto-update this global npm package. - **Evidence against:** Skill replacement skips unmanaged or modified targets unless forced., No source evidence of credential exfiltration or remote code loading in the lifecycle path. ## Public findings ### 1.
