## 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:** 2.6.8
- **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 hook mutates AI-agent skill directories without an explicit setup command. The copied skill is package-owned qgrid documentation, and source inspection found no payload, exfiltration, or permission-bypass chain in that hook.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Install-time hook mutates AI-agent skill directories without an explicit setup command. The copied skill is package-owned qgrid documentation, and source inspection found no payload, exfiltration, or permission-bypass chain in that hook.

- **Trigger:** npm install (global or inside a project)

- **Impact:** Adds or replaces the qgrid skill in Codex/Claude project or home skill locations.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-08T12:31:55.215Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** postinstall skill-directory replacement and symlink/copy

- **Rationale:** The unconsented postinstall mutation warrants a warning under the agent-extension lifecycle policy, but source inspection does not establish malicious behavior. No evidence supports a publish block.

- **Files touched:** postinstall.mjs, skills/qgrid, dist/cli.js, bundle/dist/utils/providers/openai/codex-worker.js, bundle/dist/utils/providers/anthropic/claude-session.js, .agents/skills/qgrid, .claude/skills/qgrid, CODEX\_HOME/skills/qgrid, CLAUDE\_HOME/skills/qgrid

- **Network endpoints:** https://claude.com/cai/oauth/authorize, https://platform.claude.com/v1/oauth/token, https://auth.openai.com

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** package.json runs postinstall.mjs on install., postinstall.mjs recursively removes then links/copies skills into .agents/skills/qgrid and .claude/skills/qgrid., Global installs also write copied skills under CODEX\_HOME/skills/qgrid and CLAUDE\_HOME/skills/qgrid.

- **Evidence against:** Installed skill is qgrid-specific repository guidance; no credential harvesting or remote instructions found., postinstall.mjs has no network or child-process execution., dist/cli.js network/update actions occur only when the user invokes qgrid., codex-worker disables shell, web search, apps, plugins, and bundled skills for its worker., OAuth endpoints are official Anthropic/OpenAI service endpoints used by the stated proxy.
