A package install can add or replace capabilities in Claude, Kiro, Cursor, Codex, OpenClaw, and SingClaw environments. - **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:** 1.17.24 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Installation mutates several unrelated AI-agent skill roots without a user command or consent. It deletes existing named skills and installs a skill sourced from the fetched platform binary. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-09T05:32:45.922Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-09T05:33:14.048Z - **Download time:** 1024 ms - **Static scan time:** 137 ms - **AI review time:** 26964 ms - **Total time:** 28126 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installation mutates several unrelated AI-agent skill roots without a user command or consent. It deletes existing named skills and installs a skill sourced from the fetched platform binary. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall - **Impact:** A package install can add or replace capabilities in Claude, Kiro, Cursor, Codex, OpenClaw, and SingClaw environments. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/postinstall.js, bin/platform.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-09T05:33:14.048Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall cross-agent skill deployment and replacement - **Attack narrative:** On npm postinstall, the package obtains a platform binary (including an npm registry fallback), then copies its cz-cli skill into six foreign AI-agent skill directories. It removes legacy aliases and replaces existing cz-cli skill directories first. This is unconsented install-time mutation of broad agent control surfaces; the injected skill content is outside the reviewed launcher package. - **Rationale:** The source directly implements cross-vendor AI-agent configuration mutation during postinstall, which meets the blocking policy regardless of the absence of visible exfiltration in the launcher files. - **Files touched:** package.json, bin/postinstall.js, bin/platform.js, ~/.claude/skills, ~/.kiro/skills, ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.codex/skills, ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills, ~/.singclaw/workspace/skills, ~/.local/bin/cz-agent, ~/.clickzetta/install.json - **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs bin/postinstall.js during npm postinstall., bin/postinstall.js writes into ~/.claude, ~/.kiro, ~/.cursor, ~/.codex, ~/.openclaw, and ~/.singclaw skill directories., Postinstall deletes legacy skill directories and replaces each external cz-cli skill directory., Postinstall retrieves/executes a platform binary and copies its skills into those foreign agent control surfaces., bin/platform.js can invoke npm pack to fetch a platform package when the optional dependency is absent. - **Evidence against:** No direct credential harvesting or HTTP client is present in the inspected launcher source., Shell execution uses execFileSync with fixed command/argument construction rather than a shell string., Tar extraction validates relative paths before writing. ## Public findings ### 1. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Package defines install-time lifecycle scripts. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json scripts.postinstall = node bin/postinstall.js ``` ### 2. Medium: Ambiguous Install Lifecycle Script - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 75.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Install-time lifecycle script is not statically allowlisted and needs review. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json scripts.postinstall = node bin/postinstall.js ``` ### 3. Low: Scripts Present - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 100.0% Package declares npm scripts. ### 4. Medium: Environment Vars - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 75.0% Package source references environment variables. ### 5. Low: Filesystem - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 70.0% Package source references filesystem APIs. ### 6. Critical: Ai Agent Control Hijack - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** bin/postinstall.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Source creates an unconsented AI-agent control surface through install-time mutation or a default unauthenticated remote skill channel. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript L80: const agentDirs = [ L81: path.join(home, ".claude", "skills"), L82: path.join(home, ".kiro", "skills"), L83: path.join(home, ".cursor", "skills"), L84: path.join(home, ".codex", "skills"), L85: path.join(home, ".openclaw", "workspace", "skills"), ...

L107: fs.rmSync(builtinDest, { recursive: true, force: true }); ``` ### 7. Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review - **Category:** Artifact Inventory - **Confidence:** 95.0% Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean. ### 8. High: Known Malware Source Fingerprint Signature - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Path:** bin/platform.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Source fingerprint signature matches a known malicious package signature; route for source-aware review.
