A dependency can alter agent plugins, settings, skills, MCP configuration, and marketplace state outside its own directory. - **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:** 4.22.4 - **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 automatically changes the consuming project's AI-agent configuration and removes user-wide Codex registrations. These changes occur before the user explicitly runs the Lisa command. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-26T18:24:21.148Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-26T18:26:00.243Z - **Download time:** 2785 ms - **Static scan time:** 22007 ms - **AI review time:** 74300 ms - **Total time:** 99095 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installing the package automatically changes the consuming project's AI-agent configuration and removes user-wide Codex registrations. These changes occur before the user explicitly runs the Lisa command. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall during package installation - **Impact:** A dependency can alter agent plugins, settings, skills, MCP configuration, and marketplace state outside its own directory. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install-claude-plugins.sh, dist/codex/project-overlay.js, dist/cli/update-check.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-26T18:26:00.243Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Postinstall-driven project overlay and global Codex plugin removal - **Attack narrative:** When installed, the package runs its postinstall script. For a consumer project, the script starts Lisa with automatic confirmation, removes named plugins and the Lisa marketplace from the user's Codex configuration, and installs or replaces Claude project plugins. Lisa's overlay installer then writes agent, settings, MCP, skill, and marketplace artifacts into the project. This is an unconsented install-time mutation of foreign AI-agent control surfaces. - **Rationale:** The package contains a concrete install-time chain that mutates both project-level agent state and user-wide Codex plugin state. That exceeds a package-local setup action and meets the blocking policy for foreign AI-agent control-surface mutation. - **Files touched:** $HOME/.codex/.lisa-legacy-plugins-retired, $PROJECT\_ROOT/.claude, $PROJECT\_ROOT/.safety-net.json, $PROJECT\_ROOT/package.json - **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org/@codyswann/lisa/latest ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The install lifecycle runs a shell script automatically after installation., That script invokes the package CLI against the consuming project without user confirmation., On consumer installs it removes user-wide Codex plugins and the Lisa marketplace., It writes a marker under the user's Codex directory., It installs and removes Claude plugins in the consuming project's scope., The Codex overlay code installs agents, settings, MCP configuration, skills, and a marketplace into a project. - **Evidence against:** The bundled Python file flagged as a payload is a plain component-validation script., Child-process calls shown in reviewed CLI files use fixed argument vectors rather than shell interpolation., The Sentry token is used only by an explicit observability probe, not by install-time code. ## Public findings ### 1.
