Unconsented persistent control of Claude-agent instructions in the consumer project. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Warn by default - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Soft block: AI-agent control surface - **Selected version:** 1.0.1 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. The install hook mutates a consuming repository’s Claude instruction file. It overwrites that foreign AI-agent control surface and makes the generated files ignored by Git. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-28T23:15:57.750Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-28T23:16:23.448Z - **Download time:** 507 ms - **Static scan time:** 42 ms - **AI review time:** 25148 ms - **Total time:** 25698 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** The install hook mutates a consuming repository’s Claude instruction file. It overwrites that foreign AI-agent control surface and makes the generated files ignored by Git. - **Trigger:** npm install - **Impact:** Unconsented persistent control of Claude-agent instructions in the consumer project. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/postinstall.js, CLAUDE.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-28T23:16:23.448Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall overwrite of repository CLAUDE.md plus .gitignore mutation - **Attack narrative:** On npm install, bin/postinstall.js walks from the current directory to a Git repository root, renders package-controlled agent instructions, and writes them to the consumer’s CLAUDE.md even when an existing file differs. It also creates CLAUDE.local.md and modifies .gitignore to hide both files. This is an unconsented install-time mutation of a foreign, repository-wide AI-agent instruction surface. - **Rationale:** Source inspection confirms concrete postinstall takeover of a consumer repository’s CLAUDE.md and persistence-oriented ignore-file mutation. This meets the blocking policy for unconsented install-time mutation of a broad AI-agent control surface. - **Files touched:** bin/postinstall.js, CLAUDE.md, CLAUDE.local.md, .gitignore ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs bin/postinstall.js on npm install., bin/postinstall.js finds the consuming repository root and overwrites CLAUDE.md., It creates CLAUDE.local.md and adds both files to the consumer .gitignore., Generated CLAUDE.md injects mandatory instructions for Claude agents. - **Evidence against:** No network, subprocess, eval, credential harvesting, or payload loading was found., The package otherwise contains static standards Markdown and JSON documents. ## Public findings ### 1. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Package defines install-time lifecycle scripts. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json scripts.postinstall = node bin/postinstall.js ``` ### 2. Medium: Ambiguous Install Lifecycle Script - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 75.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Install-time lifecycle script is not statically allowlisted and needs review. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json scripts.postinstall = node bin/postinstall.js ``` ### 3. Low: Scripts Present - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 100.0% Package declares npm scripts. ### 4. Low: Filesystem - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 70.0% Package source references filesystem APIs. ### 5. Critical: Ai Agent Control Hijack - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** bin/postinstall.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Source creates an unconsented AI-agent control surface through install-time mutation or a default unauthenticated remote skill channel. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript Install-time AI-agent control hijack evidence: L2: /** L3: * Write CLAUDE.md into the consuming repo. L4: * ... L10: * Anything a person wants to add goes in CLAUDE.local.md, which this script L11: * never touches and CLAUDE.md loads. L12: * ... L99: const LOCAL_STUB = ` L101: `; ... L118: const prefix = text && !text.endsWith('\n') ? eol : ''; L119: fs.writeFileSync(file, text + prefix + missing.join(eol) + eol, 'utf8'); L120: return missing; Payload evidence from CLAUDE.md: L1: ## CRITICAL: Read Standards Before Working L2: ``` ### 6. Low: High Entropy Strings - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 55.0% Package source contains high-entropy string patterns. ### 7. Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review - **Category:** Artifact Inventory - **Confidence:** 100.0% Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean. ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** Yes - **Published lifecycle scripts:** postinstall - **Dependencies:** 0 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 0 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 0 ## Package metadata - **Package:** @firestitch/standards - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 1.0.1 - **License:** MIT - **Version published:** 2026-07-28T23:13:06.694Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-07-28T23:16:23.448Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-07-29T08:33:51.007Z - **Known versions:** 2 - **Latest version:** 1.0.2 - **Appeal under review:** No - **Description:** Firestitch engineering standards - routing indexes and rule documents - **Author:** Firestitch - **Artifact files:** 91 - **Artifact unpacked size:** 692,212 bytes - **Artifact signatures:** 1 - **Attestations:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [Repository]() - [Homepage]() - [Issues]()
