It changes the behavior and instruction sources of Claude, Codex, shared-agent, and Gemini clients without an explicit setup 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:** 1.1.6 - **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. A global npm postinstall automatically writes skills and instruction personas into several unrelated AI-agent control surfaces. The persona directs those agents to retrieve remote instructions before relevant work. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-06T04:43:48.206Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-06T04:44:51.714Z - **Download time:** 1009 ms - **Static scan time:** 262 ms - **AI review time:** 62236 ms - **Total time:** 63508 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:** A global npm postinstall automatically writes skills and instruction personas into several unrelated AI-agent control surfaces. The persona directs those agents to retrieve remote instructions before relevant work. - **Trigger:** Installing the package globally with npm lifecycle scripts enabled. - **Impact:** It changes the behavior and instruction sources of Claude, Codex, shared-agent, and Gemini clients without an explicit setup command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, lib/targets.js, lib/install.js, persona.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-06T04:44:51.714Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic global AI-agent configuration injection. - **Attack narrative:** During a global installation, the postinstall hook invokes the installer automatically. The installer selects multiple default agent platforms, replaces its skill directories, and adds a persona to their global instruction files. That persona requires future agent sessions to fetch a package-controlled remote reference before Babylon-related work. This is unconsented lifecycle-time mutation of broad, foreign AI-agent control surfaces. - **Rationale:** The automatic global lifecycle hook modifies several unrelated AI-agent instruction surfaces and installs a remote-instruction requirement. The explicit update command's registry traffic does not mitigate that install-time control-surface mutation. - **Files touched:** ~/.claude/skills, ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md, ~/.agents/skills, ~/.agents/AGENTS.md, ~/.codex/AGENTS.md, ~/.gemini/GEMINI.md - **Network endpoints:** https://raw.githubusercontent.com/babylontoolkit/agent/main/reference.md ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** The package declares a postinstall lifecycle hook., On every global install, that hook automatically runs the installer., Default targets include global Claude, shared-agent, Codex, and Gemini instruction files., The installer replaces shipped skill folders and injects a persona into each selected instruction file., The injected persona requires an agent to fetch remote instructions before Babylon-related work. - **Evidence against:** The hook returns without modifying agent files for non-global installs., No credential harvesting or outbound data exfiltration was found., The npm registry request and package-manager update occur only through the explicit update command. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @babylonjs-toolkit/agent@1.1.6. - Avoid installing @babylonjs-toolkit/agent@1.1.6. 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.
