A package install can influence later AI-agent actions outside the installed project. - **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:** 0.7.24 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **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 automatically places and updates an AI-agent instruction file in the user's ~/.hsk directory. This is an unconsented, persistent agent control-surface mutation. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-19T16:48:47.783Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-19T16:49:40.533Z - **Download time:** 770 ms - **Static scan time:** 549 ms - **AI review time:** 51430 ms - **Total time:** 52750 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 automatically places and updates an AI-agent instruction file in the user's ~/.hsk directory. This is an unconsented, persistent agent control-surface mutation. - **Trigger:** npm installation runs the postinstall lifecycle hook. - **Impact:** A package install can influence later AI-agent actions outside the installed project. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, templates/AGENTS.md.tmpl - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-19T16:49:40.533Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Writes package-supplied AI-agent guidance into ~/.hsk/AGENTS.md. - **Attack narrative:** The package's automatic postinstall hook resolves the user's home directory and writes a rendered AGENTS.md under ~/.hsk. The rendered file is framed as instructions for AI agents using the CLI, so this is not ordinary package-local setup. It persists outside the consumer project and can be replaced on package upgrades without an explicit user command. - **Rationale:** Automatic installation mutates a broad AI-agent instruction location outside the project. This meets the install-control-surface blocking policy regardless of the otherwise ordinary update checker. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.js, templates/AGENTS.md.tmpl, ~/.hsk/AGENTS.md, ~/.hsk/logs/agentsmd.log ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** The manifest runs scripts/postinstall.js automatically after installation., The postinstall script resolves the user's home directory, creates ~/.hsk, and writes ~/.hsk/AGENTS.md., The installed template is explicitly guidance for AI agents operating hsk-cli. - **Evidence against:** The update checker only queries the configured npm registry for version metadata and is disabled in CI or by environment flags., No self-dependency or credential-exfiltration path is declared in package.json. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @aweray/hsk-cli@0.7.24. - Avoid installing @aweray/hsk-cli@0.7.24. 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.
