It also removes user-wide Codex registrations. - **Trigger:** npm package installation runs postinstall. - **Impact:** Consumer project configuration, Claude hooks and plugins, and user-wide Codex plugin state can change without an explicit setup command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install-claude-plugins.sh - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-08T13:57:54.965Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Noninteractive project apply plus Claude and Codex plugin management. - **Attack narrative:** The package's postinstall invokes a shell script. When installed beneath node\_modules, that script identifies the consuming project, runs Lisa noninteractively against it, changes Claude hook configuration, installs multiple Claude plugins, and removes Codex plugins from the user's global configuration. These changes occur as a dependency lifecycle effect rather than through an explicit user setup command. - **Rationale:** This is an unconsented postinstall mutation of both consumer-project and user-wide AI-agent control surfaces. The source establishes the behavior directly, so it warrants blocking despite no confirmed secret exfiltration. - **Files touched:** package.json, .claude/settings.json, .claude/.lisa-plugins-synced, $HOME/.codex/.lisa-legacy-plugins-retired ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** Its automatic postinstall launches a package script., The script resolves the consumer project root and noninteractively runs Lisa against it., The install script edits project Claude hooks and installs Claude plugins, including third-party plugins., The lifecycle script removes user-wide Codex plugins and writes a marker under the user's Codex directory. - **Evidence against:** No credential collection or outbound secret exfiltration was found in the reviewed lifecycle files., The self-reference is a devDependency, not a runtime dependency. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @codyswann/lisa@4.53.0. - Avoid installing @codyswann/lisa@4.53.0. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
