## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — Package source and other files in that directory can be irreversibly deleted.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Destructive Action
- **Selected version:** 0.119.0
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. 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.

The automatic postpack hook recursively deletes nearly the entire package directory, creating a concrete destructive action when packing is invoked. This warrants blocking publication as destructive behavior.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** The package's postpack hook recursively removes nearly all contents of its package directory.

- **Trigger:** The user runs the package-packing operation, which activates \`postpack\`.

- **Impact:** Package source and other files in that directory can be irreversibly deleted.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-08T15:48:25.076Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The script enumerates the package directory and recursively force-removes each entry except two named files.

- **Attack narrative:** After packing, the postpack script iterates over the package directory and recursively removes all entries other than \`package.json\` and \`stage-pack.mjs\`. This can destroy source files and other directory contents when the package-packing operation is run.

- **Rationale:** The automatic postpack hook recursively deletes nearly the entire package directory, creating a concrete destructive action when packing is invoked. This warrants blocking publication as destructive behavior.

- **Files touched:** package.json

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 99.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for block:** The \`postpack\` script deletes every entry in the package directory except \`package.json\` and \`stage-pack.mjs\`, recursively and without prompting.

- **Evidence against:** No install lifecycle hook is declared; the destructive script runs after the user invokes the package-packing operation.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @deftai/directive-content@0.119.0.

- Avoid installing @deftai/directive-content@0.119.0. 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.
