Changes agent instructions/control content for the current project or user profile. - **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:** 2.6.10 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Install-time code unconditionally replaces Qgrid skill directories in Codex and Claude Code control surfaces. It uses recursive removal followed by symlink/copy, without an explicit user setup command. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-08T13:40:35.521Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-08T13:41:25.931Z - **Download time:** 1010 ms - **Static scan time:** 8186 ms - **AI review time:** 41213 ms - **Total time:** 50410 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Install-time code unconditionally replaces Qgrid skill directories in Codex and Claude Code control surfaces. It uses recursive removal followed by symlink/copy, without an explicit user setup command. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall during local or global installation - **Impact:** Changes agent instructions/control content for the current project or user profile. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.mjs, skills/qgrid/SKILL.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-08T13:41:25.931Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** automatic foreign AI-agent skill-directory replacement - **Attack narrative:** On npm postinstall, the package locates the invoking project (or global Codex/Claude homes), recursively removes existing Qgrid skill directories, and links or copies its bundled skill into those agent control surfaces. This happens without an explicit setup invocation and affects both Codex and Claude Code. - **Rationale:** The automatic postinstall mutation of foreign AI-agent skill directories is a concrete unconsented control-surface write. Source inspection found no remote payload fetch, but that does not mitigate the install-time replacement behavior. - **Files touched:** postinstall.mjs, skills/qgrid, .agents/skills/qgrid, .claude/skills/qgrid, ~/.codex/skills/qgrid, ~/.claude/skills/qgrid ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs postinstall.mjs automatically., postinstall.mjs deletes and replaces project .agents/skills/qgrid., postinstall.mjs deletes and replaces project .claude/skills/qgrid., Global installs copy into Codex and Claude Code skill directories. - **Evidence against:** Installed skill content is bundled locally; no remote skill download is present., Runtime provider network calls are package-aligned OAuth/Slack functionality. ## Public findings ### 1.
