AI Security Review

scanned 4h ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Install-time code replaces Codex and Claude Code skill directories with a bundled qgrid skill. It affects project-local agent directories and, for global installs, user-home agent directories.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review

Trigger

npm postinstall during local or global package installation

Impact

Unconsented foreign AI-agent control-surface mutation and persistence of package-provided instructions.

Mechanism

recursive deletion and replacement of AI-agent skill directories

Policy narrative

Installing the package automatically invokes postinstall.mjs. It identifies a project or global agent home, recursively removes existing qgrid skill targets, and replaces them with the package’s bundled skill by symlink or copy. This mutates Codex and Claude Code instruction surfaces without an explicit setup command.

Rationale

The postinstall hook performs unconsented mutation of foreign and broad AI-agent control surfaces, including ~/.codex and ~/.claude. Disclosure in the README does not change that install-time behavior.

Evidence

package.jsonpostinstall.mjsskills/qgrid/SKILL.mdskills/qgrid.agents/skills/qgrid.claude/skills/qgrid~/.codex/skills/qgrid~/.claude/skills/qgrid

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI identified this as a dangerous AI-agent capability at 99.0% confidence with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for policy risk

package.json runs postinstall.mjs automatically on install.
Postinstall targets global Codex and Claude skill directories during global installs.
Postinstall forcibly deletes each target, then links or copies its bundled skill into foreign agent directories.

Evidence against

README discloses the skill sync locations, but it remains automatic install-time mutation.
