## Verdict summary
**Soft block: AI-agent control surface** — Warn by default; block when configured. A dependency install can alter the host project's AI-agent behavior and install third-party plugins without an explicit setup 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:** 3.48.2
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Installing the package runs a noninteractive host-project reconciler. It installs project-scoped Claude plugins and modifies Codex project configuration, agents, MCP, skills, and marketplace surfaces.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Installing the package runs a noninteractive host-project reconciler. It installs project-scoped Claude plugins and modifies Codex project configuration, agents, MCP, skills, and marketplace surfaces.

- **Trigger:** npm postinstall during package installation outside CI

- **Impact:** A dependency install can alter the host project's AI-agent behavior and install third-party plugins without an explicit setup command.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-21T09:39:24.649Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** unconsented lifecycle-driven AI-agent configuration and plugin installation

- **Attack narrative:** The npm postinstall launches Lisa with --yes against the consuming project. The lifecycle script then installs Lisa, official, and third-party Claude plugins at project scope, while the reconciler writes project-level Codex agents, MCP configuration, skills, marketplace entries, and enables hooks. These are broad AI-agent control surfaces changed merely by installing a dependency, rather than by an explicit user setup command.

- **Rationale:** This is concrete unconsented postinstall mutation of broad host AI-agent control surfaces, including third-party plugin installation. No exfiltration was found, but the install-time control-surface behavior meets the blocking boundary.

- **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/install-claude-plugins.sh, \<host-project\>/.claude/settings.json, \<host-project\>/.claude/.lisa-plugins-synced, \<host-project\>/.codex/config.toml, \<host-project\>/.codex/agents/lisa/, \<host-project\>/.agents/plugins/marketplace.json

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 96.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** npm postinstall executes a project-configuration script., That script invokes Lisa non-interactively against the host project., Postinstall installs Lisa and third-party Claude plugins at project scope., Self-install reconciles a Codex overlay that writes project agent/configuration surfaces., Codex settings installer forces project config hooks enabled.

- **Evidence against:** No credential harvesting or exfiltration was found in inspected lifecycle paths., Observed Sentry request is a token-gated runtime health check, not an install-time exfiltration path., Codex legacy cleanup removes only named Lisa registrations and is deferred during active sessions.
