Unconsented control of subsequent AI-agent behavior in the repository. - **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:** 1.0.2 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Install-time hook mutates the consuming repository's Claude Code instruction surface. It overwrites CLAUDE.md and adds generated instruction files to .gitignore. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **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 ## 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:** 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. ## 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. Low: High Entropy Strings - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 55.0% Package source contains high-entropy string patterns. ## 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:** 1.0.2 - **License:** MIT - **Version published:** 2026-07-28T23:29:50.536Z - **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:** 691,005 bytes - **Artifact signatures:** 1 - **Attestations:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [Repository]() - [Homepage]() - [Issues]()
