Bundled skill instructions become active through Agents, Claude, and Codex control surfaces. - **Verdict:** AI-agent control-surface policy finding - **Product-default install policy:** Warn by default; block when configured - **Firewall policy:** Warn by default - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Soft block: AI-agent control surface - **Selected version:** 1.0.6 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This finding concerns changes to an AI agent's instructions or configuration without explicit user action. It does not by itself establish malware intent. The CLI warns by default and blocks when configured for this policy. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The lifecycle hook automatically modifies broad foreign AI-agent skill roots, satisfying the package firewall rule for an unconsented postinstall control-surface mutation. No credential exfiltration was confirmed, but that does not remove the concrete install-time hijack behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-26T19:24:21.913Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-26T19:25:31.036Z - **Download time:** 509 ms - **Static scan time:** 305 ms - **AI review time:** 68305 ms - **Total time:** 69123 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installing the package runs code that installs bundled skills and links them into several unrelated AI-agent skill directories. This changes the behavior available to those agent hosts without an explicit setup command. - **Trigger:** npm install, including a transitive installation that permits lifecycle scripts. - **Impact:** Bundled skill instructions become active through Agents, Claude, and Codex control surfaces. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, scripts/oneshot-install.mjs, scripts/pump-tape.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-26T19:25:31.036Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic copying and forced symlink creation in foreign agent skill roots. - **Attack narrative:** On installation, npm invokes the package postinstall hook. Unless an opt-out variable is set, that hook copies the bundled skill tree into the user home and force-links every skill into the skill directories used by multiple AI-agent products. This is an unconsented lifecycle mutation of broad third-party agent control surfaces. The same lifecycle code may also launch a bounded connection to the package's WebSocket relay for an install display. - **Rationale:** The lifecycle hook automatically modifies broad foreign AI-agent skill roots, satisfying the package firewall rule for an unconsented postinstall control-surface mutation. No credential exfiltration was confirmed, but that does not remove the concrete install-time hijack behavior. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.mjs, scripts/oneshot-install.mjs, scripts/pump-tape.mjs, skills, ~/.clawdbot/skills, ~/.agents/skills, ~/.claude/skills, ~/.codex/skills - **Network endpoints:** wss://clawd-ws.fly.dev/ws ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** The package declares a postinstall lifecycle hook that runs automatically during npm installation., The postinstall path installs bundled skill content by default, without requiring a user command., It creates and overwrites skill links in the broad foreign agent directories for Agents, Claude, and Codex., The lifecycle path also starts a network-connected install display unless its skip conditions apply. - **Evidence against:** The reviewed JavaScript lifecycle code does not read credential files or send environment values to a network endpoint., The reviewed postinstall code copies packaged content rather than downloading the linked skills during the default installation path. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @clawd-bot/clawd@1.0.6. - Avoid installing @clawd-bot/clawd@1.0.6. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
