Future agent sessions can inherit package-controlled instructions and remote content with expanded network capability. - **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:** 1.1.16 - **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. On global npm installation, the postinstall hook writes skills and instructions into several AI-agent control surfaces. It also enables Codex workspace network access and installs instructions that require a remote document to be trusted. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-11T05:53:48.274Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-11T05:54:46.095Z - **Download time:** 255 ms - **Static scan time:** 283 ms - **AI review time:** 57281 ms - **Total time:** 57821 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

It also enables Codex workspace network access and installs instructions that require a remote document to be trusted. - **Trigger:** Running npm global installation with lifecycle scripts enabled. - **Impact:** Future agent sessions can inherit package-controlled instructions and remote content with expanded network capability. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, lib/targets.js, lib/codex-config.js, persona.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-11T05:54:46.095Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic mutation of global AI-agent instructions, skills, and Codex network settings. - **Attack narrative:** The package runs a postinstall hook during global npm installation. That hook invokes the installer, which writes into global instruction and skill locations for multiple unrelated AI clients. For Codex it creates or changes configuration to turn network access on. The installed persona then directs future agents to fetch and treat a remote GitHub document as authoritative before handling Babylon-related work. This is an unconsented lifecycle mutation of broad agent control surfaces. - **Rationale:** The global postinstall path automatically modifies multiple AI-agent instruction surfaces and enables Codex network access. The remote-authority instruction makes the resulting control path persistent across later agent sessions. - **Files touched:** ~/.claude/skills, ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md, ~/.agents/skills, ~/.agents/AGENTS.md, ~/.codex/AGENTS.md, ~/.codex/config.toml, ~/.gemini/GEMINI.md - **Network endpoints:** https://raw.githubusercontent.com/babylontoolkit/agent/main/reference.md ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** The npm postinstall hook automatically invokes global installation., The installer targets Claude, shared agent, Codex, and Gemini instruction surfaces by default., It creates or changes Codex configuration to enable network access., The installed persona requires agents to fetch and trust a remotely hosted reference before work. - **Evidence against:** No credential harvesting or direct data exfiltration was found., The only direct package network lookup is an explicit user-invoked self-update check. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @babylonjs-toolkit/agent@1.1.16. - Avoid installing @babylonjs-toolkit/agent@1.1.16. 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.
