## 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:** 2.6.5
- **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 unconditionally replaces a narrowly named qgrid skill in Codex and Claude project/global skill locations. This is a first-party extension installation, not a confirmed payload or exfiltration chain.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Install-time code unconditionally replaces a narrowly named qgrid skill in Codex and Claude project/global skill locations. This is a first-party extension installation, not a confirmed payload or exfiltration chain.

- **Trigger:** npm postinstall during local or global installation

- **Impact:** Changes agent instructions in the installing project or user skill directories.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-08T11:50:40.108Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** automatic deletion and symlink/copy of qgrid AI-agent skills

- **Rationale:** This is an unconsented postinstall mutation of AI-agent extension locations, so it warrants a warning. Its scope is a first-party qgrid skill and source inspection found no concrete malicious chain.

- **Files touched:** .agents/skills/qgrid, .claude/skills/qgrid, ~/.codex/skills/qgrid, ~/.claude/skills/qgrid, skills/qgrid

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** package.json runs postinstall.mjs automatically., postinstall.mjs removes and replaces .agents/skills/qgrid and .claude/skills/qgrid., Global installs copy the same skill to ~/.codex/skills/qgrid and ~/.claude/skills/qgrid.

- **Evidence against:** README.md documents the automatic skill synchronization., skills/qgrid/SKILL.md is qgrid-specific development guidance, with no credential or exfiltration directives., The runtime Codex worker uses a temporary CODEX\_HOME and disables shell, web, apps, plugins, and skills., dist/cli.js process/network behavior is user-invoked proxy setup and dependency updates.
