## Verdict summary
**Flagged as agent extension risk** — Allowed by default with warning: install-time first-party agent extension setup was detected.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Warn-only agent extension risk
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Agent extension lifecycle risk
- **Selected version:** 2.4.4
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

LPM treats this as warn-only first-party agent extension lifecycle risk. Install-time code automatically replaces a qgrid skill in project or global Codex and Claude Code skill directories. This is an unconsented agent-extension configuration mutation, but the payload inspected is qgrid-specific documentation rather than a credential-stealing or control-hijacking instruction set.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Install-time code automatically replaces a qgrid skill in project or global Codex and Claude Code skill directories. This is an unconsented agent-extension configuration mutation, but the payload inspected is qgrid-specific documentation rather than a credential-stealing or control-hijacking instruction set.

- **Trigger:** npm postinstall, including global installation

- **Impact:** Overwrites any existing qgrid-named agent skill and enables the package's qgrid skill for Codex/Claude Code.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.mjs, skills/qgrid/SKILL.md, bundle/src/utils/providers/openai/codex-worker.ts, bundle/src/application/qgrid/oauth.ts

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-03T09:33:37.294Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** recursive skill replacement and symlink/copy into AI-agent skill directories

- **Rationale:** Source inspection confirms unconsented install-time AI-agent skill mutation, including destructive replacement of an existing qgrid skill. No concrete malicious chain, foreign payload, or exfiltration was found, so blocking is not warranted under the install-control-surface policy.

- **Files touched:** postinstall.mjs, skills/qgrid/SKILL.md, .agents/skills/qgrid, .claude/skills/qgrid, ~/.codex/skills/qgrid, ~/.claude/skills/qgrid

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 90.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** package.json runs postinstall.mjs automatically., postinstall.mjs recursively removes and replaces qgrid skills in Codex and Claude directories., Global installs target ~/.codex/skills/qgrid and ~/.claude/skills/qgrid without prompting.

- **Evidence against:** Installed skill is package-owned qgrid documentation, with no credential or network instructions., postinstall.mjs has no network, shell, or credential-reading behavior., Runtime OAuth calls use OpenAI/Anthropic service endpoints; no unrelated exfiltration endpoint found., codex-worker.ts creates isolated /tmp/qgrid-codex homes and disables Codex tools.
