## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 11 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** None published
- **Selected version:** 5.1.0
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

The AI recommended clean, but the final policy action is warn. This report does not record a matching static-policy override reason.

AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

No confirmed active attack surface exists in the inspected package snapshot. The install hook cannot copy its intended assets because they are absent.

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:** No confirmed active attack surface exists in the inspected package snapshot. The install hook cannot copy its intended assets because they are absent.

- **Trigger:** npm postinstall

- **Impact:** No observed file mutation or network activity from the install hook.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-06T05:00:34.964Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** Guarded local skill-copy routine that exits when assets are absent

- **Rationale:** The postinstall routine would be concerning if bundled skill assets were present, but this exact snapshot lacks them and the source exits before copying. The remaining runtime networking is consistent with an RPC client and is user or server directed.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 90.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Final policy explanation:** The AI recommended clean, but the final policy action is warn. This report does not record a matching static-policy override reason.

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest runs a postinstall script., The postinstall code is designed to copy package skills into existing project .claude and .github directories.

- **Evidence against:** The inspected snapshot contains no skills/ or docs/ assets, so postinstall exits before making changes., No secret harvesting, shell execution, dynamic code loading, or hard-coded network endpoint was found., Runtime fetches are user/server-provided SignalR stream and upload URLs, with an explicit HTTP(S)-only check.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @cocoar/signalarrr@5.1.0.

- Review the evidence and your use of @cocoar/signalarrr@5.1.0 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report.
- Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe.

## Public findings

### 1. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@cocoar/signalarrr@5.1.0/package.json>)

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```json
scripts.postinstall = node scripts/postinstall.cjs
```

### 2. Medium: Ambiguous Install Lifecycle Script
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 75.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@cocoar/signalarrr@5.1.0/package.json>)

Install-time lifecycle script is not statically allowlisted and needs review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```json
scripts.postinstall = node scripts/postinstall.cjs
```

### 3. Low: Scripts Present
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

Package declares npm scripts.

### 4. Medium: Network
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 75.0%

Package source references network APIs.

### 5. Medium: Environment Vars
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 75.0%

Package source references environment variables.

### 6. Low: Filesystem
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 70.0%

### 7. Critical: Ai Agent Control Hijack
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** scripts/postinstall.cjs
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@cocoar/signalarrr@5.1.0/scripts/postinstall.cjs>)

Source creates an unconsented AI-agent control surface through install-time mutation or a default unauthenticated remote skill channel.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L4: * Mirrors the MSBuild buildTransitive targets behaviour:
L5: *   - Only copies if .claude / .github already exists (no folder pollution)
L6: *   - Copies SKILL.md  → {agentDir}/skills/signalarrr/
...
L8: */
L9: const { existsSync, mkdirSync, cpSync } = require('node:fs');
L10: const { join } = require('node:path');
...
L31: 
L32: mkdirSync(skillsDst, { recursive: true });
L33: mkdirSync(refsDst,   { recursive: true });
L34: 
L35: cpSync(skillsSrc, skillsDst, { recursive: true, force: true });
L36: cpSync(docsSrc,   refsDst,   { recursive: true, force: true });
```

### 8. Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review
- **Category:** Artifact Inventory
- **Confidence:** 80.0%

Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean.

### 9. Medium: Suspicious Lifecycle Evidence
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@cocoar/signalarrr@5.1.0/package.json>)

The manifest runs a postinstall script.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```json
"prepack": "node scripts/copy-assets.cjs",
    "postinstall": "node scripts/postinstall.cjs"
```

### 10. Medium: Suspicious Lifecycle Evidence
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** scripts/postinstall.cjs
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@cocoar/signalarrr@5.1.0/scripts/postinstall.cjs>)

The postinstall code is designed to copy package skills into existing project .claude and .github directories.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
const skillsSrc = join(pkgRoot, 'skills', 'signalarrr');
const docsSrc   = join(pkgRoot, 'docs');

// Guard: assets were not bundled (dev build without prepack)
if (!existsSync(skillsSrc)) process.exit(0);
```

### 11. Medium: Suspicious Lifecycle Evidence
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** scripts/postinstall.cjs
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@cocoar/signalarrr@5.1.0/scripts/postinstall.cjs>)

The postinstall code is designed to copy package skills into existing project .claude and .github directories.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
cpSync(skillsSrc, skillsDst, { recursive: true, force: true });
  cpSync(docsSrc,   refsDst,   { recursive: true, force: true });

  console.log(`[signalarrr] Skills copied to ${skillsDst}`);
}

copySkills(join(projectRoot, '.claude'));
copySkills(join(projectRoot, '.github'));
```
