It can inject Prumo instructions and skills into Claude, Kiro, or Codex control surfaces and create a user-login background process. - **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:** 1.3.12 - **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 install automatically detects and alters supported AI-agent environments, then enables a persistent dashboard. This occurs without an explicit Prumo command from the user. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-19T11:12:59.151Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-19T11:14:01.740Z - **Download time:** 761 ms - **Static scan time:** 348 ms - **AI review time:** 61479 ms - **Total time:** 62589 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 install automatically detects and alters supported AI-agent environments, then enables a persistent dashboard. This occurs without an explicit Prumo command from the user. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall during a global installation of the package. - **Impact:** It can inject Prumo instructions and skills into Claude, Kiro, or Codex control surfaces and create a user-login background process. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, lib/install.mjs, lib/autostart.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-19T11:14:01.740Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic all-environment agent configuration mutation and dashboard autostart registration. - **Attack narrative:** The postinstall hook conditionally runs the package CLI with \`install --all\`, which automatically detects agent products and writes their global or project instruction and skill locations. After any successful installation it enables a dashboard, registering it with launchd, systemd, or an equivalent login mechanism. The source limits the dashboard network listener to loopback, but that does not remove the unconsented install-time mutation of foreign AI-agent control surfaces or persistence. - **Rationale:** This is a concrete unconsented postinstall chain that mutates broad AI-agent configuration surfaces and registers persistence. The loopback-only dashboard and lack of observed credential exfiltration do not neutralize that install-time behavior. - **Files touched:** ~/.claude/settings.json, ~/.claude/skills/prumo, ~/.kiro/steering/po-first.md, ~/.kiro/skills/prumo, ~/.codex/AGENTS.md, ~/.agents/skills/prumo, ~/Library/LaunchAgents/dev.prumo.dashboard.plist, ~/.config/systemd/user/prumo-dashboard.service - **Network endpoints:** http://127.0.0.1:4949 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** The manifest runs a postinstall lifecycle script., When installed as a global CLI, postinstall silently invokes \`install --all\`., The install path writes Prumo skill files and modifies Codex instruction files., A successful automatic install enables a dashboard, which registers a login-started process on supported platforms. - **Evidence against:** The dashboard binds only to loopback and its health endpoint describes it as read-only., No external network endpoint or credential collection was found in the inspected lifecycle path. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @henri-ralmeida/prumo@1.3.12. - Avoid installing @henri-ralmeida/prumo@1.3.12. 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.
