Changes persistent instructions available to multiple coding agents and can replace existing package-named skills. - **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:** 0.3.21 - **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. Installation automatically writes and overwrites skill instructions across existing third-party AI-agent configurations without a consent prompt. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-03T00:44:17.645Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-03T00:45:25.237Z - **Download time:** 780 ms - **Static scan time:** 665 ms - **AI review time:** 66146 ms - **Total time:** 67592 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:** Installation automatically writes and overwrites skill instructions across existing third-party AI-agent configurations without a consent prompt. - **Trigger:** npm installation with lifecycle scripts enabled. - **Impact:** Changes persistent instructions available to multiple coding agents and can replace existing package-named skills. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/postinstall.js, bin/cli.js, dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-03T00:45:25.237Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The postinstall hook silently launches the CLI with forced skill installation; the bundled installer writes into detected agent directories under the home directory. - **Attack narrative:** The automatic postinstall hook runs the bundled skill installer with forced overwriting. Without prompting, it detects multiple third-party agent directories in the user's home directory and writes skill instructions and references into them. This creates persistent agent control-surface changes outside the installed package. - **Rationale:** Inspected source establishes unconsented postinstall mutation of a broad, foreign AI-agent control surface. This meets the explicit blocking policy regardless of the skills' package-related purpose. - **Files touched:** .claude, .github, .cursor, .codex, .opencode, .windsurf, .agent, SKILL.md ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** package.json automatically invokes bin/postinstall.js after installation., bin/postinstall.js silently invokes the CLI to install skills with forced overwriting., bin/cli.js loads dist/index.js, connecting the lifecycle hook to the bundled installer., The installer targets existing configurations for Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode, Windsurf, and Agent., The installer defaults to the home directory, writes skill instructions and references, and bypasses existing-file protection when forced. - **Evidence against:** The installed skills concern package functionality, but that does not establish consent to automatic changes in third-party agent configurations. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @conceptcraft/mindframes@0.3.21. - Avoid installing @conceptcraft/mindframes@0.3.21. 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.
