Subsequent agent sessions can receive package-authored directives as binding instructions across projects. - **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:** 0.53.0 - **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. An automatic npm installation hook registers binding package directives in the user's global OpenCode instructions. This reaches a broad agent control surface without affirmative consent. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 97.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-01T17:48:05.022Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-01T17:51:37.639Z - **Download time:** 1533 ms - **Static scan time:** 2771 ms - **AI review time:** 208311 ms - **Total time:** 212617 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:** An automatic npm installation hook registers binding package directives in the user's global OpenCode instructions. This reaches a broad agent control surface without affirmative consent. - **Trigger:** Installing the package with npm lifecycle scripts enabled and without the bootstrap opt-out variable. - **Impact:** Subsequent agent sessions can receive package-authored directives as binding instructions across projects. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/bootstrap-agents-md.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-01T17:51:37.639Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The bootstrap writes its instruction file and patches the global OpenCode instructions array to load it. - **Attack narrative:** Installation automatically invokes the bootstrap, which creates package instructions claiming binding authority and registers them in the user's global OpenCode configuration. The only activation guard is an opt-out environment variable; no affirmative consent is requested. Although the instruction file is package-owned, automatically wiring it into the global instruction array extends the mutation to a broad agent control surface. - **Rationale:** The inspected installation hook performs unconsented mutation of global agent instructions, meeting the specified blocking rule. Package-owned instruction storage and an opt-out do not neutralize the automatic global configuration change. - **Files touched:** ~/.config/opencode/plugins/omo-meta-governor/instructions.md, ~/.config/opencode/AGENTS.md, ~/.config/opencode/opencode.jsonc ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 97.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** package.json automatically runs the bootstrap script after installation., The bootstrap runs immediately and skips only when an opt-out environment variable is set., The bootstrap writes plugin instructions declaring its directives binding., The bootstrap targets the user's global OpenCode configuration and adds its instruction file to the instructions array., The configuration patch writes the changed global configuration to disk without a consent prompt. - **Evidence against:** The instruction file belongs to this package, and an environment variable can disable setup., The migration removes only the marked older instruction snippet. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @herjarsa/omo-meta-governor@0.53.0. - Avoid installing @herjarsa/omo-meta-governor@0.53.0. 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.
