Consumer package metadata, lifecycle behavior, project agent configuration, and installed Claude plugins can be changed 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:** 4.26.1 - **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 an unprompted bootstrap against the consumer project, installs project-scoped Claude plugins, and persists a future postinstall command. A detached child can repeat reconciliation after installation exits. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-01T00:02:12.468Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-01T00:03:46.175Z - **Download time:** 2031 ms - **Static scan time:** 20768 ms - **AI review time:** 70906 ms - **Total time:** 93707 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installing the package runs an unprompted bootstrap against the consumer project, installs project-scoped Claude plugins, and persists a future postinstall command. A detached child can repeat reconciliation after installation exits. - **Trigger:** npm package installation outside CI - **Impact:** Consumer package metadata, lifecycle behavior, project agent configuration, and installed Claude plugins can be changed without an explicit setup command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install-claude-plugins.sh, dist/migrations/ensure-lisa-postinstall.js, dist/utils/postinstall-trampoline.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-01T00:03:46.175Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall-driven project mutation and agent-plugin installation - **Attack narrative:** The package lifecycle starts a shell installer automatically. For a consumer project, it invokes the package CLI with automatic confirmation, which applies project templates. Its migration modifies the consumer package.json to add a Lisa postinstall command, so later installs rerun it. The same installer invokes the Claude CLI to install Lisa plugins with project scope. When package-manager timing could overwrite its changes, it creates a detached child that waits and reapplies them. This is an unconsented install-time persistence and AI-agent control-surface mutation. - **Rationale:** The source establishes automatic postinstall mutation of a consumer project, persistent lifecycle injection, project-scoped agent-plugin installation, and detached reapplication. These are concrete unconsented install-hook behaviors, not merely optional CLI functionality. - **Files touched:** package.json, .claude/settings.json, .claude/.lisa-plugins-synced, .git/config ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The package postinstall automatically launches its installer., The installer non-interactively runs Lisa against the consumer project., The apply migration writes a Lisa command into the consumer's package.json postinstall, creating persistence., The lifecycle script installs Claude plugins at project scope., Lisa can detach a child process to reapply changes after the package manager exits. - **Evidence against:** The self-reference is a devDependency, not a runtime dependency., No credential-harvesting or secret-exfiltration path was confirmed in the inspected files. ## Public findings ### 1.
