Unconsented control of subsequent AI-agent behavior in the repository. - **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:** 1.0.2 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **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. The lifecycle hook performs concrete, persistent AI-agent instruction-file mutation outside the package directory. Absence of exfiltration does not remove this install-time control-surface risk. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 97.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-29T08:33:29.460Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-29T08:33:51.007Z - **Download time:** 511 ms - **Static scan time:** 21 ms - **AI review time:** 21014 ms - **Total time:** 21547 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:** Install-time hook mutates the consuming repository's Claude Code instruction surface. It overwrites CLAUDE.md and adds generated instruction files to .gitignore. - **Trigger:** npm install - **Impact:** Unconsented control of subsequent AI-agent behavior in the repository. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/postinstall.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-29T08:33:51.007Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall writes AI-agent instructions into consumer repo - **Attack narrative:** On npm install, bin/postinstall.js walks upward to the nearest .git directory, then writes a generated CLAUDE.md at that repository root, creates CLAUDE.local.md, and alters .gitignore. The generated file directs AI agents to load this package's standards before code changes. This is an unconsented postinstall mutation of a consuming project's AI-agent control surface. - **Rationale:** The lifecycle hook performs concrete, persistent AI-agent instruction-file mutation outside the package directory. Absence of exfiltration does not remove this install-time control-surface risk. - **Files touched:** package.json, bin/postinstall.js, \/CLAUDE.md, \/CLAUDE.local.md, \/.gitignore ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 97.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** package.json runs postinstall on npm install., bin/postinstall.js finds consuming repo root via .git., bin/postinstall.js overwrites consuming repo CLAUDE.md., Hook creates CLAUDE.local.md and modifies .gitignore., Generated CLAUDE.md imposes instructions on AI-agent work. - **Evidence against:** No network, credential harvesting, shell execution, or remote payload loading found., Only executable package file is bin/postinstall.js; remaining files are standards documents. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @firestitch/standards@1.0.2. - Avoid installing @firestitch/standards@1.0.2. 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.
