A dependency installation can change an AI agent's available instructions and capabilities in the consumer project. - **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:** 0.4.0 - **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 alters the consumer project's generic agent-skill directories. With configured credentials, it also downloads MCP-provided skill content and installs it there. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 97.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-14T11:31:13.365Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-14T11:32:13.420Z - **Download time:** 510 ms - **Static scan time:** 764 ms - **AI review time:** 58780 ms - **Total time:** 60055 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 alters the consumer project's generic agent-skill directories. With configured credentials, it also downloads MCP-provided skill content and installs it there. - **Trigger:** npm installation runs the postinstall lifecycle hook. - **Impact:** A dependency installation can change an AI agent's available instructions and capabilities in the consumer project. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, cli/postinstall.mjs, cli/install-agent-skills.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-14T11:32:13.420Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic local and authenticated remote agent-skill installation. - **Attack narrative:** The npm postinstall hook resolves the consumer repository and installs packaged skills under .agents/skills/command-center without a user command. If endpoint and token environment variables exist, the same hook retrieves an authenticated MCP catalog and installs its content under .agents/skills/mainsequence. This is an unconsented install-time mutation of a broad AI-agent control surface. - **Rationale:** The package automatically changes generic consumer AI-agent skill directories during npm installation and can populate them with remotely supplied content. Its safeguards do not establish user consent for this lifecycle behavior. - **Files touched:** .agents/skills/command-center/, .agents/skills/mainsequence/, agent\_scaffold/skills ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 97.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** The package defines an automatic postinstall hook., Postinstall installs agent skills into the consuming project without an explicit command., The installer writes and replaces content under the generic .agents skills control surface., When configured, postinstall fetches authenticated MCP content and installs it as agent skills. - **Evidence against:** The remote MCP path requires both an endpoint and an access token., The code includes path validation and staged filesystem updates. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @dev-mainsequence/command-center-sdk@0.4.0. - Avoid installing @dev-mainsequence/command-center-sdk@0.4.0. 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. ## Public findings ### 1.
