## Verdict summary
**Soft block: AI-agent control surface** — Warn by default; block when configured. Host project agent settings, plugins, MCP configuration, skills, and user-wide Codex state can be changed during dependency installation.

- **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:** 2.303.0
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Automatic npm postinstall mutates the consuming project's Claude and Codex agent-control surfaces. It also removes user-wide Codex Lisa registrations without an explicit user command.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Automatic npm postinstall mutates the consuming project's Claude and Codex agent-control surfaces. It also removes user-wide Codex Lisa registrations without an explicit user command.

- **Trigger:** npm install of @codyswann/lisa

- **Impact:** Host project agent settings, plugins, MCP configuration, skills, and user-wide Codex state can be changed during dependency installation.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install-claude-plugins.sh, dist/codex/project-overlay.js, dist/codex/settings-installer.js, dist/codex/mcp-installer.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-07-25T21:19:02.859Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** postinstall-driven agent configuration, plugin installation, and Codex cleanup

- **Attack narrative:** Installing the package automatically runs a shell script that applies Lisa to the consumer project, edits Claude settings, installs project-scoped Claude plugins, and removes user-wide Codex Lisa plugins and marketplace registrations. Its invoked Codex overlay writes project configuration, agents, skills, MCP entries, and marketplace data. These are unconsented install-time mutations of foreign AI-agent control surfaces.

- **Rationale:** Source inspection confirms concrete postinstall mutation of host and user AI-agent configuration, exceeding a normal dependency install boundary. This meets the firewall policy for a publish block.

- **Files touched:** .claude/settings.json, .claude/.lisa-plugins-synced, .codex/config.toml, .codex/agents/lisa/, .codex/skills/lisa/, $HOME/.codex/.lisa-legacy-plugins-retired

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 99.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** package.json postinstall runs scripts/install-claude-plugins.sh automatically., The postinstall invokes the CLI to apply templates to the host project., It rewrites host .claude/settings.json and installs Claude plugins at project scope., It removes user-wide Codex plugins/marketplace and writes $HOME/.codex marker., dist/codex/project-overlay.js installs agents, skills, MCP config, settings, and marketplace into host project.

- **Evidence against:** Flagged validate\_component.py is a local component validator, not a payload., plugin-sync-explain.mjs is documented read-only diagnostic code., setup-deploy-key.sh is an explicit user-invoked bin, not a lifecycle hook.
