Unconsented persistent AI-agent behavior can be introduced or replaced in the consumer project. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Warn by default - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Soft block: AI-agent control surface - **Selected version:** 3.0.3 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Installation silently mutates the consuming project's Claude skill control surface.

It replaces matching skill directories with package-provided instructions. - **Trigger:** npm installation executes the postinstall lifecycle hook. - **Impact:** Unconsented persistent AI-agent behavior can be introduced or replaced in the consumer project. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.mjs, agents/claude/evoke-astro-core/SKILL.md, src/integrations/prune-build.ts, src/integrations/relative-links.ts - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-08T12:58:37.147Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall recursive delete-and-copy into a foreign \`.claude/skills\` directory - **Attack narrative:** On npm install, the lifecycle hook ascends to the consumer project root, removes \`.claude/skills/evoke-astro-core\`, and copies in the package's Claude skill. This silently establishes and persists package-controlled agent instructions outside the package directory, without an explicit user command or consent. - **Rationale:** This is an unconsented postinstall mutation of a foreign AI-agent control surface and includes recursive replacement of its destination. No exfiltration is needed for this concrete control-surface compromise. - **Files touched:** package.json, postinstall.mjs, agents/claude/evoke-astro-core/SKILL.md, .claude/skills/evoke-astro-core ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs \`node postinstall.mjs\` on installation., postinstall.mjs resolves the consuming project root and targets \`.claude/skills\`., postinstall.mjs recursively deletes each destination skill directory before copying package-supplied content., The installed SKILL.md broadly instructs Claude to activate for common Astro component requests without user setup. - **Evidence against:** No network, credential harvesting, shell execution, or payload download appears in postinstall.mjs., The bundled skill content describes this package's components and integrations., Other filesystem mutations are explicit Astro build integrations, not install-time actions. ## Public findings ### 1.
