The package gains automatic execution in the user's Claude Code workflow and can influence agent tool handling and session startup. - **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:** 5.10.1 - **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. LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. A global npm installation automatically modifies the user's Claude Code control surface. It adds agent-related configuration and command hooks without an interactive consent step. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-28T06:51:37.866Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-28T06:53:03.399Z - **Download time:** 520 ms - **Static scan time:** 2230 ms - **AI review time:** 82782 ms - **Total time:** 85533 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:** A global npm installation automatically modifies the user's Claude Code control surface. It adds agent-related configuration and command hooks without an interactive consent step. - **Trigger:** Installing the package globally through npm outside CI, unless the opt-out environment variable is already set. - **Impact:** The package gains automatic execution in the user's Claude Code workflow and can influence agent tool handling and session startup. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, dist/cli.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-28T06:53:03.399Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The postinstall hook launches the package CLI install command, which seeds the Claude configuration and installs hooks for tool and session events. - **Attack narrative:** The package declares a postinstall hook. On qualifying global installs, that hook launches its CLI with an install flag. The CLI writes Haus-managed Claude Code skills, agents, and hook settings, including commands attached to tool-use and session-start events. This is an unconsented install-time mutation of a broad AI-agent control surface. - **Rationale:** The automatic global lifecycle path installs persistent Claude Code hooks and agent configuration. This meets the policy threshold for blocking unconsented install-time mutation of a broad AI-agent control surface. - **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, dist/cli.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** The manifest registers a postinstall lifecycle hook., The lifecycle hook automatically invokes the install command during qualifying global installs., The install command seeds the user's Claude configuration with managed skills, agents, and hook settings., Installed hooks run Haus commands for Claude tool events and session startup. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @haus-tech/haus-workflow@5.10.1. - Avoid installing @haus-tech/haus-workflow@5.10.1. 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.
