It also registers a command hook that runs before Codex tool use. - **Trigger:** npm package installation runs postinstall. - **Impact:** The package can control agent behavior and execute its enforcement dispatcher in a consumer project without an explicit setup command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install-claude-plugins.sh, dist/codex/project-overlay.js, dist/codex/enforcement-fallback-installer.js, dist/utils/postinstall-trampoline.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-12T09:08:24.013Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic host-project agent overlay, plugin installation, hook registration, and detached reconciliation. - **Attack narrative:** On installation, postinstall starts an installer that identifies the consumer project and runs Lisa with automatic confirmation. The installed CLI applies a Codex overlay that adds agents, settings, MCP configuration, skills, marketplace entries, and a PreToolUse hook. The installer also installs several Claude plugins and may launch a detached process to repeat reconciliation after installation. These are unconsented lifecycle mutations of a broad AI-agent control surface. - **Rationale:** The package performs broad consumer-project AI-agent configuration and hook mutation from postinstall rather than through an explicit user command. This meets the install-hook abuse blocking boundary despite no observed credential exfiltration. - **Files touched:** package.json, .claude/settings.json, .codex/hooks.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 automatic postinstall invokes a shell installer., The installer non-interactively runs the CLI against the consuming project., The CLI installs agents, hooks, settings, MCP configuration, skills, and a marketplace into the host project., It writes a PreToolUse command hook to the host’s Codex configuration., It automatically installs third-party Claude plugins., It can detach a child that reruns reconciliation after the package manager exits. - **Evidence against:** No credential harvesting or data exfiltration was found in the inspected lifecycle paths., The global Codex cleanup targets only Lisa-named legacy plugins. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @codyswann/lisa@4.55.4. - Avoid installing @codyswann/lisa@4.55.4. 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.
