Package installation can alter agent-visible project instructions or assets without an explicit setup command. - **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:** 5.0.0 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **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. LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. On npm installation, the package attempts to populate AI-agent-related directories in the consuming project. It targets existing .claude and .github directories and overwrites the signalarrr skill subtree. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-06T04:59:57.655Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-06T05:00:30.989Z - **Download time:** 764 ms - **Static scan time:** 117 ms - **AI review time:** 32452 ms - **Total time:** 33334 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

It targets existing .claude and .github directories and overwrites the signalarrr skill subtree. - **Trigger:** Automatic npm postinstall in a consuming project. - **Impact:** Package installation can alter agent-visible project instructions or assets without an explicit setup command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.cjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-06T05:00:30.989Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Install-time recursive copying into consumer AI-agent control directories. - **Attack narrative:** Installing the package runs scripts/postinstall.cjs. When the consumer project already has .claude or .github, the hook creates skills/signalarrr and references subdirectories and recursively copies package assets there with force enabled. This is an unconsented install-time mutation of broad AI-agent control surfaces. The asset guard makes this extracted snapshot inert, but the lifecycle source implements the mutation for releases that contain the declared assets. - **Rationale:** The postinstall hook concretely mutates consumer .claude and .github agent-control directories without an explicit user command. That meets the install-time AI-agent control-surface abuse boundary despite the missing assets in this snapshot. - **Files touched:** .claude/skills/signalarrr, .github/skills/signalarrr, .claude/skills/signalarrr/references, .github/skills/signalarrr/references ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** The package runs a postinstall hook automatically., The hook writes package-provided skill content into existing .claude and .github directories in the consuming project., It creates destination directories and forcibly overwrites copied files without an explicit user command. - **Evidence against:** The hook exits when the packaged skills directory is absent; this snapshot contains no skills or docs directories., The runtime network requests use application-provided stream or upload URLs, not a hard-coded endpoint., No credential harvesting, shell execution, or self-dependency is present. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @cocoar/signalarrr@5.0.0. - Avoid installing @cocoar/signalarrr@5.0.0. 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.
