## Verdict summary
**Soft block: AI-agent control surface** — Warn by default; block when configured. The package gains a persistent, package-updatable influence over Codex and Claude Code behavior in an unrelated consumer 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:** 0.20.0
- **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.

This package uses an unconsented postinstall hook to create broad AI-agent control files outside its own directory. That is a concrete foreign control-surface mutation and meets the blocking policy even though no network exfiltration was found.

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 silently creates AI-agent instruction files in the consumer project root. Those files direct agents to package-controlled instructions.

- **Trigger:** npm installation triggers the postinstall lifecycle hook.

- **Impact:** The package gains a persistent, package-updatable influence over Codex and Claude Code behavior in an unrelated consumer project.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/init.js, templates/AGENTS.stub.md, templates/CLAUDE.stub.md

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-27T20:33:20.266Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** Postinstall copies AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md into the consumer root.

- **Attack narrative:** On npm install, the postinstall hook invokes bin/init.js. In postinstall mode it identifies the consumer root and copies package templates to AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md when they do not already exist. These are broad AI-agent control files in the consumer repository and instruct agents to read rules held under node\_modules, allowing later package updates to change the instructions without modifying the consumer repository files.

- **Rationale:** This package uses an unconsented postinstall hook to create broad AI-agent control files outside its own directory. That is a concrete foreign control-surface mutation and meets the blocking policy even though no network exfiltration was found.

- **Files touched:** package.json, bin/init.js, templates/AGENTS.stub.md, templates/CLAUDE.stub.md, consumer-project/AGENTS.md, consumer-project/CLAUDE.md

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 98.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for policy risk:** The install hook runs the initialization program automatically., The initialization program copies files into the consumer project root., It creates AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md, which control AI-agent behavior., The installed agent file instructs agents to load package-controlled rules that update with npm installs.

- **Evidence against:** The agent files are not overwritten unless the explicit force option is used., No network, credential collection, shell execution, or payload download was found in the inspected initialization code., Dynamic imports are limited to package-local, allowlisted maintenance commands.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @cakejp/design-system@0.20.0.

- Avoid installing @cakejp/design-system@0.20.0. 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. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@cakejp/design-system@0.20.0/package.json>)

Package defines install-time lifecycle scripts.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```json
scripts.postinstall = node ./bin/init.js postinstall
```

### 2. Medium: Ambiguous Install Lifecycle Script
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 75.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@cakejp/design-system@0.20.0/package.json>)

Install-time lifecycle script is not statically allowlisted and needs review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```json
scripts.postinstall = node ./bin/init.js postinstall
```

### 3. Low: Non Install Lifecycle Scripts
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 80.0%

Package declares lifecycle scripts that are not normally run for registry tarball installs.
