Host project .claude and .codex agent behavior can be changed without a separate user command. - **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:** 3.26.3 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Dependency installation automatically applies Lisa to the host project and changes AI-agent control surfaces. It installs project-scoped Claude plugins, including third-party plugins, and writes a Codex overlay. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-17T00:09:16.882Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-17T00:10:45.700Z - **Download time:** 2292 ms - **Static scan time:** 19379 ms - **AI review time:** 67143 ms - **Total time:** 88818 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Dependency installation automatically applies Lisa to the host project and changes AI-agent control surfaces. It installs project-scoped Claude plugins, including third-party plugins, and writes a Codex overlay. - **Trigger:** npm package postinstall - **Impact:** Host project .claude and .codex agent behavior can be changed without a separate user command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install-claude-plugins.sh, dist/codex/project-overlay.js, dist/codex/hooks-installer.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-17T00:10:45.700Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** automatic host AI-agent configuration and plugin installation - **Attack narrative:** On installation, the postinstall shell script invokes the Lisa CLI on the consuming project, then uses the Claude CLI to install plugins at project scope. The package also reconciles host Codex agents, MCP configuration, skills, marketplace settings, and hooks. This is an unconsented install-time mutation of broad AI-agent control surfaces, not merely a package-local setup action. - **Rationale:** The lifecycle behavior is source-confirmed and automatically mutates the consuming project's Claude/Codex configuration, including third-party agent plugins. This meets the block boundary for unconsented postinstall mutation of a broad AI-agent control surface. - **Files touched:** .claude/settings.json, .claude/.lisa-plugins-synced, .codex/config.toml, .codex/hooks.json, .codex/agents/lisa/, .codex/skills/, .codex/.lisa-managed.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** npm postinstall automatically runs a shell installer., Installer invokes Lisa against the host project during dependency installation., Postinstall installs Lisa and third-party Claude plugins at project scope., Lisa reconciles host .codex agents, MCP config, skills, marketplace, and settings. - **Evidence against:** The source labels the behavior as a project-scoped Lisa overlay and limits some cleanup to Lisa-managed paths., No credential harvesting or unrelated data exfiltration was confirmed in inspected lifecycle paths. ## Public findings ### 1.
