Unconsented modification of a foreign project and its agent control surface. - **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:** 1.0.9 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Installation automatically writes package-controlled content into the invoking project. It overwrites README.md and creates an AI-agent skill loaded from .agents/skills/buntok. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-23T04:25:19.996Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-23T04:26:00.754Z - **Download time:** 506 ms - **Static scan time:** 1251 ms - **AI review time:** 38997 ms - **Total time:** 40758 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installation automatically writes package-controlled content into the invoking project. It overwrites README.md and creates an AI-agent skill loaded from .agents/skills/buntok. - **Trigger:** npm installation - **Impact:** Unconsented modification of a foreign project and its agent control surface. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, scripts/buntok-skill/SKILL.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-23T04:26:00.754Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall project and AI-agent configuration mutation - **Attack narrative:** The package declares a postinstall hook, so installing it executes code in the caller's project context. That code derives the project root from INIT\_CWD or cwd, overwrites its README.md, creates .agents/skills/buntok, and writes a package-supplied SKILL.md there. It then tells the user to restart the agent so the injected skill loads. No exfiltration was found, but the unconsented install-time foreign AI-agent control-surface mutation meets the block policy. - **Rationale:** Source inspection confirms an automatic postinstall writes both a project-root file and a package-controlled AI-agent skill outside the package. This is concrete, unconsented install-time mutation of a foreign control surface. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.mjs, README.md, .agents/skills/buntok/SKILL.md, scripts/buntok-skill/SKILL.md ### 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 automatically on installation., Postinstall selects the invoking project root via INIT\_CWD or cwd., It overwrites the project-root README.md., It creates and writes .agents/skills/buntok/SKILL.md, then instructs restart to load it. - **Evidence against:** The copied SKILL.md is framework documentation; inspected content contains no prompt-hijack instructions., Postinstall contains no network, shell, credential-harvesting, or payload-execution logic. ## Public findings ### 1.
