## Verdict summary
**Flagged as agent extension risk** — Allowed by default with warning: install-time first-party agent extension setup was detected.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Warn-only agent extension risk
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Agent extension lifecycle risk
- **Selected version:** 3.26.5
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

LPM treats this as warn-only first-party agent extension lifecycle risk. On npm postinstall, the package runs a Claude plugin installer and applies project-scoped AI-agent configuration. It can install Lisa and listed third-party plugins, and writes Lisa-managed Codex overlay files.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** On npm postinstall, the package runs a Claude plugin installer and applies project-scoped AI-agent configuration. It can install Lisa and listed third-party plugins, and writes Lisa-managed Codex overlay files.

- **Trigger:** npm package installation triggers postinstall.

- **Impact:** Changes project AI-agent plugins, MCP/configuration, and marketplace state without an explicit Lisa command.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-17T00:39:37.075Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Project-scoped Claude plugin installation and Codex overlay reconciliation.

- **Rationale:** This is not confirmed malware or exfiltration, but an install-time agent-extension lifecycle risk. Project-scoped automatic plugin/configuration changes warrant a warning under the stated policy.

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

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** postinstall launches the AI-plugin installer., Installer invokes Claude project-scope plugin installation., It auto-installs Lisa and third-party Claude plugins., Project overlay writes Codex configuration and marketplace data.

- **Evidence against:** Codex cleanup is limited to legacy Lisa-named registrations., No credential harvesting, exfiltration, or covert payload execution was confirmed.
