Consumer projects and user agent homes receive or replace behavior-bearing skill content. - **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:** 2.8.0 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Installation automatically replaces AI-agent skill directories in the consumer project or user home. This establishes package-authored instructions as agent control-surface content without an explicit setup command. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-31T07:26:47.303Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-31T07:28:12.576Z - **Download time:** 767 ms - **Static scan time:** 9580 ms - **AI review time:** 74925 ms - **Total time:** 85273 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installation automatically replaces AI-agent skill directories in the consumer project or user home. This establishes package-authored instructions as agent control-surface content without an explicit setup command. - **Trigger:** npm installation, including transitive installation and global installation - **Impact:** Consumer projects and user agent homes receive or replace behavior-bearing skill content. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-31T07:28:12.576Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall deletion and replacement of Codex and Claude Code skill directories - **Attack narrative:** Installing the package invokes postinstall.mjs. The hook finds a project root, deletes .agents/skills/qgrid and .claude/skills/qgrid, then links or copies its bundled skill into those agent control surfaces. In global mode it instead writes to the user’s Codex and Claude Code skill homes. These changes occur automatically rather than through an explicit user setup command. - **Rationale:** This is an unconsented postinstall mutation of foreign AI-agent control surfaces, including destructive replacement of existing targets. The lifecycle hook is sufficient for a publish block under the install-control-surface policy. - **Files touched:** .agents/skills/qgrid, .claude/skills/qgrid, ~/.codex/skills/qgrid, ~/.claude/skills/qgrid ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The manifest automatically runs postinstall on installation., The install hook selects consumer project .agents and .claude skill directories as targets., The hook recursively removes each target and replaces it with a symlink or copied package skill., Global installation also writes into Codex and Claude Code home skill directories. - **Evidence against:** No runtime dependency on this package name was found., No install-time network request or credential collection was found in the hook. ## Public findings ### 1.
