The package gains recurring execution through the consumer's postinstall and Git merge operations while changing agent control settings. - **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:** 4.27.2 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Installing the package mutates a consumer project without an explicit command. It applies templates, changes Claude hook settings, injects a future postinstall command, and persists a Git merge-driver command. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-31T19:57:13.501Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-31T19:58:29.702Z - **Download time:** 2795 ms - **Static scan time:** 22676 ms - **AI review time:** 50729 ms - **Total time:** 76201 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installing the package mutates a consumer project without an explicit command. It applies templates, changes Claude hook settings, injects a future postinstall command, and persists a Git merge-driver command. - **Trigger:** npm installation outside CI - **Impact:** The package gains recurring execution through the consumer's postinstall and Git merge operations while changing agent control settings. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install-claude-plugins.sh, dist/migrations/ensure-lisa-postinstall.js, dist/core/learnings-merge-driver-install.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-31T19:58:29.702Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic lifecycle-driven consumer project and agent configuration mutation - **Attack narrative:** On installation, the package invokes its installer and automatically applies itself to the consuming project. Its apply path rewrites Claude hook settings, injects a Lisa invocation into the consumer package.json postinstall, and registers a local Git merge driver that executes on future merges. These are persistent control-surface changes made without an explicit user command. - **Rationale:** The package's postinstall makes broad, persistent changes to a consuming project's agent, package lifecycle, and Git execution configuration. This is concrete unconsented install-time control-surface mutation, even though no exfiltration was found. - **Files touched:** package.json, .claude/settings.json, .git/config ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The install lifecycle automatically runs a shell installer., That installer non-interactively applies the package to the consumer project., It rewrites the consumer's Claude settings hook configuration., The applied migration injects a Lisa command into the consumer's postinstall., It registers an executable merge-driver command in local Git configuration. - **Evidence against:** No credential harvesting or network exfiltration was found in the inspected lifecycle paths., The generated-artifact merge-driver installer is guarded to the package's own checkout. ## Public findings ### 1.
