Package-controlled instructions become active in project or user-wide AI-agent skill locations. - **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:** 2.7.0 - **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 mutates Codex and Claude Code skill control surfaces. It recursively removes existing qgrid skill directories and creates symlinks or copies package-controlled content. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-09T03:29:09.854Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-09T03:30:01.925Z - **Download time:** 768 ms - **Static scan time:** 6428 ms - **AI review time:** 44875 ms - **Total time:** 52071 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Install-time code mutates Codex and Claude Code skill control surfaces. It recursively removes existing qgrid skill directories and creates symlinks or copies package-controlled content. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall during local or global installation - **Impact:** Package-controlled instructions become active in project or user-wide AI-agent skill locations. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.mjs, README.md, skills/qgrid/SKILL.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-09T03:30:01.925Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** unconsented AI-agent skill installation and replacement - **Attack narrative:** npm automatically executes postinstall.mjs. For a local install it removes and replaces project .agents and .claude qgrid skill directories; for a global install it does the same in user-wide Codex and Claude Code skill directories. This is an unconsented install-time mutation of foreign AI-agent control surfaces, including recursive removal of pre-existing target content. - **Rationale:** Although the bundled skill is documented and appears qgrid-specific, the postinstall hook automatically replaces foreign project and user-wide agent skill locations. That concrete install-time control-surface mutation meets the block boundary. - **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 .agents/skills/qgrid and .claude/skills/qgrid on project install., Global install writes ~/.codex/skills/qgrid and ~/.claude/skills/qgrid., Writes occur without an explicit qgrid setup command. - **Evidence against:** README.md transparently documents automatic skill syncing., skills/qgrid/SKILL.md is qgrid-specific guidance; no credential-harvesting or remote payload instructions found., Runtime provider network calls are service-aligned OAuth/Slack functionality. ## Public findings ### 1.
