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.

It also registers a per-user dashboard autostart service unless the user already disabled it. - **Trigger:** npm install -g @henri-ralmeida/prumo, which runs the postinstall lifecycle when the package is the global CLI. - **Impact:** Claude, Codex, and Kiro load package-supplied skills and standing instructions; Claude's default output style is rewritten; a dashboard process is started and registered to launch on login. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, bin/prumo.mjs, lib/install.mjs, lib/autostart.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-19T10:56:38.441Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** unattended postinstall mutation of foreign AI-agent config and skills - **Attack narrative:** When a user installs this package globally, postinstall silently runs prumo install --all. That path skips the harness menu and copies the Prumo skill into every detected Claude, Kiro, and Codex skill directory. It also sets Claude's outputStyle to PO First, injects PO First into Codex agent files, and adds always-on Kiro steering plus skill resources on agent JSON files. If any harness install succeeds, the installer enables a login autostart dashboard unless the user had already turned it off. README text describing this flow does not replace an explicit install command. - **Rationale:** Global postinstall runs prumo install --all and mutates Claude, Codex, and Kiro control surfaces without an explicit user install command, which is unconsented foreign agent-config writes. Local installs are inert and there is no remote payload, but that does not authorize install-time hijack of those harnesses. - **Files touched:** ~/.claude/settings.json, ~/.claude/output-styles/po-first.md, ~/.claude/skills/prumo/, ~/.codex/AGENTS.md, ~/.codex/AGENTS.override.md, ~/.agents/skills/prumo/, ~/.kiro/steering/po-first.md, ~/.kiro/agents/, ~/Library/LaunchAgents/dev.prumo.dashboard.plist, ~/.config/systemd/user/prumo-dashboard.service, ~/.local/share/prumo/installations.json - **Network endpoints:** http://localhost:4949, http://127.0.0.1:4949 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** package.json postinstall runs scripts/postinstall.mjs after npm install., A global install spawns prumo install --all with PRUMO\_POSTINSTALL\_LIFECYCLE set, so the installer runs without a user command., --all skips the harness picker and installs into every detected Claude, Kiro, and Codex environment., The installer writes Claude settings.json outputStyle, Codex AGENTS.md, Kiro always-on steering, and Kiro agent resource lists., After a successful harness install it enables persistent dashboard autostart unless the user previously disabled it. - **Evidence against:** A project-local npm install is inert and does not change harness config., The dashboard is a local read-only server on localhost:4949 with no remote command channel., There is no eval, credential theft, or package self-dependency in package.json. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @henri-ralmeida/prumo@1.3.7. - Avoid installing @henri-ralmeida/prumo@1.3.7. 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.
