Existing agent skill content can be overwritten and future Codex or Claude Code sessions can load package-controlled instructions. - **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:** 2.7.2 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Installing the package automatically replaces project Codex and Claude Code skill directories with the package's qgrid skill. This is an unconsented install-time mutation of foreign AI-agent control surfaces. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-14T05:26:22.994Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-14T05:27:10.244Z - **Download time:** 1016 ms - **Static scan time:** 7084 ms - **AI review time:** 39149 ms - **Total time:** 47250 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installing the package automatically replaces project Codex and Claude Code skill directories with the package's qgrid skill. This is an unconsented install-time mutation of foreign AI-agent control surfaces. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall during package installation - **Impact:** Existing agent skill content can be overwritten and future Codex or Claude Code sessions can load package-controlled instructions. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.mjs, skills/qgrid/SKILL.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-14T05:27:10.244Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** recursive removal and symlink/copy of bundled skills into agent skill directories - **Attack narrative:** On installation, npm invokes postinstall.mjs. The hook discovers the project root, deletes .agents/skills/qgrid and .claude/skills/qgrid, then symlinks or copies its bundled qgrid skill into both locations. For global installations it instead copies into Codex and Claude home skill directories. This modifies AI-agent instruction/control surfaces without an explicit setup command or opt-in and can replace pre-existing skill content. - **Rationale:** The automatic postinstall hook performs forced, recursive writes to both Codex and Claude Code skill locations. That concrete unconsented mutation meets the install-time foreign AI-agent control-surface block policy. - **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 on install., postinstall derives the enclosing project and targets both Codex and Claude skill directories., The install hook forcibly removes existing skill directories, then links or copies its bundled skill into them. - **Evidence against:** No install-hook network request or credential-exfiltration code was found., The payload is a named qgrid skill, but it is installed without user opt-in into foreign agent control surfaces. ## Public findings ### 1.
