The package changes context available to AI agents in the consuming project without an affirmative setup step. - **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:** 0.7.8 - **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. Source confirms an automatic postinstall mutation of consumer AI agent instruction files, with only an opt-out guard. Under the control-surface policy, this warrants blocking as an AI agent control hijack; the source does not establish credential theft or network activity. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 97.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-17T01:54:19.291Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-17T01:55:15.651Z - **Download time:** 1799 ms - **Static scan time:** 2989 ms - **AI review time:** 51571 ms - **Total time:** 56360 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:** The install hook automatically changes project-root AI agent instruction files by adding a reference to package-provided context. - **Trigger:** Installing the package through npm, unless the setup skip variable is set to 1. - **Impact:** The package changes context available to AI agents in the consuming project without an affirmative setup step. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.cjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-17T01:55:15.651Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook creates or appends a reference in AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md and copies the referenced context file into the project. - **Attack narrative:** During npm postinstall, the package edits project-root agent instruction files and points them to package-provided context. The source includes an opt-out, but the lifecycle hook performs the changes without affirmative consent. This is an install-time mutation of a broad agent control surface. - **Rationale:** Source confirms an automatic postinstall mutation of consumer AI agent instruction files, with only an opt-out guard. Under the control-surface policy, this warrants blocking as an AI agent control hijack; the source does not establish credential theft or network activity. - **Files touched:** AGENTS.md, agents.md, CLAUDE.md, claude.md, BFRS\_AGENTIC\_COMPONENTS.md, package.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 97.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** The manifest runs a postinstall script during package installation., The script acts in a consumer install unless its setup skip variable is set to 1., The script targets project-root AGENTS.md or agents.md and CLAUDE.md or claude.md files., It creates or appends a reference to the package’s agent context in those files, and invokes this mutation during postinstall., The hook also copies its context file into the project and can modify the consumer package scripts. - **Evidence against:** The package documents this setup and provides an opt-out variable, but neither is an affirmative consent guard for the agent-file changes. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @bfrs/agentic-components@0.7.8. - Avoid installing @bfrs/agentic-components@0.7.8. 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.
