Bundled skill instructions become active through Agents, Claude, and Codex control surfaces. - **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:** 1.0.6 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **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 ## 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:** 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. ## Public findings ### 1.
