Installation changes behavior-bearing instructions and capabilities available to AI tools in the consumer project without an affirmative setup choice. - **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:** 1.1.0 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **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 manifest and source establish an automatic postinstall path that writes behavior-bearing configuration for multiple consumer AI agents and adds bundled skills without an affirmative consent gate. This meets the policy for blocking unconsented install-time AI-agent control-surface mutation, even though the behavior aligns with the package’s stated governance product. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-17T01:02:55.756Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-17T01:03:23.981Z - **Download time:** 250 ms - **Static scan time:** 184 ms - **AI review time:** 27790 ms - **Total time:** 28225 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:** The install lifecycle automatically changes a consumer project’s AI-agent instructions and skill directory. The generated instructions direct multiple AI tools to follow package-provided rules and load package-provided skills. - **Trigger:** Installing the package into an external project with INIT\_CWD set. - **Impact:** Installation changes behavior-bearing instructions and capabilities available to AI tools in the consumer project without an affirmative setup choice. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/postinstall.js, bin/harness-bridge.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-17T01:03:23.981Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall invokes setupGovernance, which writes AGENTS.md and instruction files for Claude, Cursor, Gemini, and Copilot, and seeds bundled skills into .agents/skills. - **Attack narrative:** The package’s postinstall hook automatically invokes project setup for an external install target. That setup writes instructions directing several AI tools to follow the package-generated AGENTS.md and autonomously load bundled skills, and installs those skills into the project. This is unconsented install-time mutation of a broad AI-agent control surface. The inspected excerpts do not establish network communication or credential transfer. - **Rationale:** The manifest and source establish an automatic postinstall path that writes behavior-bearing configuration for multiple consumer AI agents and adds bundled skills without an affirmative consent gate. This meets the policy for blocking unconsented install-time AI-agent control-surface mutation, even though the behavior aligns with the package’s stated governance product. - **Files touched:** AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, .cursorrules, .gemini/rules/project.md, .github/copilot-instructions.md, .agents/skills/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** The manifest runs bin/postinstall.js during installation., The postinstall hook calls setupGovernance for an external project without an affirmative setup prompt., setupGovernance writes AGENTS.md and agent-specific instruction files into the consumer project., Those generated instructions tell AI coding tools to follow the package-generated constitution and autonomously load bundled skills., The setup also seeds bundled skills into the consumer project’s .agents/skills directory., The launcher describes bridging AI harnesses and synchronizing skills, confirming the relevant integration context. - **Evidence against:** The behavior installs governance and skill assets consistent with the package’s stated product function; the inspected excerpts show no network endpoint or credential transfer. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @goobit/ai@1.1.0. - Avoid installing @goobit/ai@1.1.0. 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.
