The added wildcard hook runs the package's handler before every tool use. - **Trigger:** npm install of this package - **Impact:** The package gains automatic execution in the consumer's Claude Code tool-use flow. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-04T20:46:30.887Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Post-install mutation of a broad AI-agent command hook - **Attack narrative:** The manifest invokes scripts/postinstall.js during installation. That script finds the consumer project, creates .claude, and merges a PreToolUse entry matching every tool call. The entry launches the package's bundled handler, creating unconsented persistence in a foreign AI-agent control surface. - **Rationale:** This is an automatic post-install write to a consumer Claude Code configuration with a wildcard command hook. That meets the policy's concrete install-hook abuse boundary. - **Files touched:** .claude/, .claude/hooks.json, dist/hooks/pre-tool-use.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The package automatically runs a post-install script., The script locates the consuming project and creates its Claude configuration directory., It registers a wildcard command hook for every Claude tool use without an explicit user command., It writes the merged hook configuration into the consumer project. - **Evidence against:** No external network endpoint is used by the install script., No runtime dependency on this package's own name is declared. ## Public findings ### 1.
