Later Claude, Kiro, and Codex sessions load injected skills and always-on instructions; a dashboard process is registered to start on login. - **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:** 1.3.11 - **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. LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. A global npm postinstall runs unattended prumo install --all, writes this package's skill and PO First instructions into Claude Code, Kiro, and Codex user configs, and registers a login autostart for a local dashboard. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-19T10:51:53.234Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-19T10:55:35.432Z - **Download time:** 251 ms - **Static scan time:** 404 ms - **AI review time:** 221542 ms - **Total time:** 222198 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

The installer detects Claude Code, Kiro, and Codex from PATH or existing config, copies SKILL.md and engine scripts into each harness skill directory, sets Claude's global output style to PO First, injects PO First into Codex AGENTS.md, and writes always-included Kiro steering. It then enables a user-level dashboard service through launchd, systemd, or Windows startup, listening on localhost:4949. Later agent sessions load those injected instructions and skills. - **Rationale:** Global postinstall runs unattended prumo install --all, which writes this package's skill and always-on PO First instructions into Claude Code, Codex, and Kiro user configs and registers dashboard autostart. That is unconsented mutation of foreign AI-agent control surfaces. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.mjs, bin/prumo.mjs, lib/install.mjs, lib/autostart.mjs, ~/.claude/settings.json, ~/.claude/output-styles/po-first.md, ~/.codex/AGENTS.md, ~/.kiro/steering/po-first.md, ~/Library/LaunchAgents/dev.prumo.dashboard.plist - **Network endpoints:** http://localhost:4949, http://127.0.0.1:4949 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** package.json declares an npm postinstall hook that runs scripts/postinstall.mjs., On a global install, postinstall spawns bin/prumo.mjs install --all with PRUMO\_POSTINSTALL\_LIFECYCLE=1 and no prompt., The installer copies this package's skill payload into detected Claude, Kiro, and Codex skill directories., The same install rewrites Claude settings.json outputStyle, Codex AGENTS.md, and always-on Kiro steering., Successful install then enables a user-level dashboard autostart (launchd, systemd, or Windows startup). - **Evidence against:** A non-global npm install returns without running the installer., The dashboard server binds 127.0.0.1 only and health checks stay on localhost., An explicit prumo install CLI exists for later repair, but it is not the global postinstall path. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @henri-ralmeida/prumo@1.3.11. - Avoid installing @henri-ralmeida/prumo@1.3.11. 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.
