A dependency installation can alter project files, future install behavior, and Codex or Claude plugin control surfaces without a user 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:** 4.29.0 - **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 automatically changes the consumer project and AI-agent plugin state. It also persists a Lisa command in the consumer's future postinstall hook. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-01T14:18:36.154Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-01T14:20:16.701Z - **Download time:** 2535 ms - **Static scan time:** 23435 ms - **AI review time:** 74575 ms - **Total time:** 100547 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installing the package automatically changes the consumer project and AI-agent plugin state. It also persists a Lisa command in the consumer's future postinstall hook. - **Trigger:** npm-compatible package installation outside CI. - **Impact:** A dependency installation can alter project files, future install behavior, and Codex or Claude plugin control surfaces without a user command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install-claude-plugins.sh, dist/migrations/ensure-lisa-postinstall.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-01T14:20:16.701Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Lifecycle-driven consumer configuration, hook, and agent-plugin mutation. - **Attack narrative:** The package postinstall locates the consuming repository and runs its apply command automatically. Its migration writes a Lisa invocation into the consumer package.json postinstall, making the behavior persist across later installs. The same automatic script removes user-wide Codex Lisa marketplace registrations and installs or changes Claude project plugins. These are unconsented mutations of foreign project and AI-agent control surfaces. - **Rationale:** Source inspection confirms an install-time chain that mutates a consumer package.json and AI-agent plugin state, rather than merely providing user-invoked tooling. The dev-only self-reference does not change that conclusion. - **Files touched:** package.json, .claude/settings.json, .claude/.lisa-plugins-synced, .safety-net.json, $HOME/.codex/.lisa-legacy-plugins-retired ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The automatic postinstall runs a script that targets the consuming project., That script resolves the consumer root and non-interactively runs Lisa against it during installation., The migration rewrites a consumer package.json to add a persistent postinstall invocation., The install path removes Codex marketplace/plugins and installs Claude project plugins without an explicit user command. - **Evidence against:** The self-reference is only a devDependency, not a runtime self-dependency. ## Public findings ### 1.
