AI Security Review
scanned 3mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe postinstall hook deliberately replaces a foreign global command link, creating a concrete command-hijack risk. It is not a confirmed AI-agent control-surface attack or install-time exfiltration, so warning rather than blocking is appropriate.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
npm postinstall
Impact
Hijacks the global bohr command until repaired or replaced.
Mechanism
global command-link deletion and replacement
AI rationale
The postinstall hook deliberately replaces a foreign global command link, creating a concrete command-hijack risk. It is not a confirmed AI-agent control-surface attack or install-time exfiltration, so warning rather than blocking is appropriate.
Evidence
package.jsoninstall.jsrun.jsbin/bohr-<platform>-<arch>
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 93.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- package.json runs postinstall via install.js.
- install.js invokes global npm-bin discovery.
- install.js deletes an existing global bohr link when it resolves elsewhere.
- install.js replaces it with a symlink to this package's run.js.
Evidence against
- The lifecycle script contains no network or credential collection.
- Replacement is limited to the bohr command name.
- run.js only selects and executes a bundled platform binary on explicit CLI use.
