A dependency installation changes agent controls, adds plugins, and persists a detached reconciliation process after installation. - **Verdict:** AI-agent control-surface policy finding - **Product-default install policy:** Warn by default; block when configured - **Firewall policy:** Warn by default - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Soft block: AI-agent control surface - **Selected version:** 4.55.31 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This finding concerns changes to an AI agent's instructions or configuration without explicit user action. It does not by itself establish malware intent. The CLI warns by default and blocks when configured for this policy. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Installing the package automatically mutates the consumer project and its AI-agent plugin configuration. It also removes user-wide Codex registrations and installs Claude plugins without an explicit setup command. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-13T02:50:02.474Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-13T02:51:11.275Z - **Download time:** 1544 ms - **Static scan time:** 18115 ms - **AI review time:** 49140 ms - **Total time:** 68801 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

It also removes user-wide Codex registrations and installs Claude plugins without an explicit setup command. - **Trigger:** npm package installation runs postinstall. - **Impact:** A dependency installation changes agent controls, adds plugins, and persists a detached reconciliation process after installation. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install-claude-plugins.sh, dist/utils/postinstall-trampoline.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-13T02:51:11.275Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic project reconciliation and AI-agent plugin management from a lifecycle hook. - **Attack narrative:** The package's postinstall executes a shell installer. For consumer projects it invokes its CLI with noninteractive approval to apply templates, removes Lisa entries from the user's Codex plugin configuration, and installs Claude plugins in the project. It also creates a detached child process to rerun reconciliation after the package manager exits. These changes occur merely by installing a dependency, not through an explicit user setup command. - **Rationale:** This is an unconsented install-time mutation of both consumer project files and AI-agent control surfaces, including automatic plugin installation and user-wide Codex changes. The behavior is concrete and persistent enough to block publication despite no observed credential exfiltration. - **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/install-claude-plugins.sh, dist/utils/postinstall-trampoline.js, $PROJECT\_ROOT/.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 policy risk:** The automatic postinstall hook runs a project-configuration and plugin installer., On local dependency installation, the installer runs the package CLI non-interactively against the consumer project., The installer removes Lisa plugins and the Lisa marketplace from the user's Codex configuration., The installer automatically installs Lisa and third-party Claude plugins in project scope., The package schedules a detached child that re-runs reconciliation after the package manager exits. - **Evidence against:** No credential harvesting or secret exfiltration was found in the inspected lifecycle files., The self-reference is a devDependency, not a runtime dependency chain. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @codyswann/lisa@4.55.31. - Avoid installing @codyswann/lisa@4.55.31. 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.
