Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Installing the package automatically changes the consumer project and AI-agent configuration. It invokes a non-interactive apply with git checks bypassed, edits .claude settings, and removes user-wide Codex plugin registrations. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-12T20:40:37.656Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-12T20:42:00.647Z - **Download time:** 1524 ms - **Static scan time:** 17071 ms - **AI review time:** 64394 ms - **Total time:** 82991 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installing the package automatically changes the consumer project and AI-agent configuration. It invokes a non-interactive apply with git checks bypassed, edits .claude settings, and removes user-wide Codex plugin registrations. - **Trigger:** npm package installation outside CI. - **Impact:** A dependency installation can alter project files and agent hooks without an explicit user command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install-claude-plugins.sh - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-12T20:42:00.647Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Postinstall-driven project and AI-agent configuration mutation. - **Attack narrative:** The manifest runs install-claude-plugins.sh automatically on installation. For a consumer project, the script invokes Lisa with --yes and --skip-git-check, then mutates project Claude hook settings. It also invokes Codex commands to remove Lisa plugins and its marketplace from the user's Codex configuration. These are automatic lifecycle actions affecting both the consumer project and an AI-agent control surface. - **Rationale:** The package performs unconsented postinstall mutation of a consumer project and AI-agent control surfaces. This is concrete install-hook abuse even though no secret theft was found. - **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/install-claude-plugins.sh, .claude/settings.json, $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 block:** Its install hook automatically launches a script against the consuming project., That script runs the package CLI with approval bypasses during local installation., The install script edits project Claude hook settings and removes Lisa entries from the user's Codex plugin configuration. - **Evidence against:** The manifest's self-reference is a devDependency, not a runtime dependency., Reviewed lifecycle code shows no credential collection or secret exfiltration. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @codyswann/lisa@4.55.13. - Avoid installing @codyswann/lisa@4.55.13. 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.
