When configured and reachable, that setup redirects Anthropic clients to a tenant endpoint. - **Trigger:** npm runs the postinstall hook during a global installation. - **Impact:** Future Anthropic client requests may be routed through the configured tenant endpoint. Source inspection does not establish credential theft or another separate attack. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, out/postinstall.js, out/commands/install.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-07T20:05:11.110Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook invokes install setup, which appends a sourced script to shell profiles; that script sets the Anthropic base URL when the tenant responds. - **Attack narrative:** The global-install postinstall hook modifies shell startup profiles so future shells load package-generated setup. When its tenant endpoint is available, the setup changes the Anthropic API destination. This is an automatic change to a foreign AI tool's control path; the inspected source does not establish credential theft. - **Rationale:** The package automatically changes shell profiles during global installation and redirects Anthropic clients through its tenant endpoint. This supports blocking for unconsented postinstall mutation of a foreign AI-agent control surface. - **Files touched:** ~/.comprism/env.sh, shell startup profiles - **Network endpoints:** api.anthropic.com, \*.completionprism.illuminis.ai ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** The npm postinstall hook runs setup automatically and suppresses its errors., Setup is gated to global installs, then writes setup files and modifies shell startup profiles., The profile script redirects Anthropic clients to a CompletionPrism tenant endpoint when reachable. - **Evidence against:** The hook skips non-global installs., The setup uses a marked profile block and falls back to the provider when the tenant is unreachable. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @illuminis/comprism@0.1.8. - Avoid installing @illuminis/comprism@0.1.8. 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.
