It persists further automatic execution through the consumer postinstall hook and can reapply changes after installation completes. - **Trigger:** npm-compatible package installation outside CI. - **Impact:** Consumer package scripts, lockfiles, and AI-agent control files 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:** 2026-08-31T19:49:12.951Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic postinstall project mutation, AI plugin installation, and detached reapplication. - **Attack narrative:** Installing the package invokes its postinstall shell script. Outside CI, that script runs Lisa non-interactively against the host project and installs project-scoped Claude plugins. Lisa can rewrite the host package.json so later installs automatically invoke its executable. Its reconciliation code also starts a detached child that waits for the package manager to exit before reapplying changes and regenerating lockfiles. This creates persistent, unconsented lifecycle control over consumer project and AI-agent configuration. - **Rationale:** The package contains a concrete automatic install-time chain that modifies consumer lifecycle scripts and AI-agent control surfaces, then persists and replays those changes. This meets the blocking policy for unconsented postinstall mutation of a broad foreign control surface. - **Files touched:** package.json, .claude/settings.json, .claude/.lisa-plugins-synced, .git/config, $HOME/.codex ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The install hook automatically runs a shell installer., That installer runs Lisa against the consumer project without prompting and installs Claude plugins., A migration rewrites the consumer package.json to persist a Lisa postinstall command., A detached child waits for the package manager to exit, then re-applies Lisa and regenerates lockfiles. - **Evidence against:** The plugin operations are limited to the Lisa project scope when the Claude CLI is available., No credential harvesting or direct data exfiltration was found in the inspected lifecycle paths. ## Public findings ### 1.
