## Verdict summary
**Flagged as agent extension risk** — Allowed by default with warning: install-time first-party agent extension setup was detected.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Warn-only agent extension risk
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Agent extension lifecycle risk
- **Selected version:** 3.1.3
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

LPM treats this as warn-only first-party agent extension lifecycle risk. npm postinstall modifies the consuming project's Claude skills directory. It removes and copies only the package-named skill, which broadens Claude guidance for Astro component requests.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** npm postinstall modifies the consuming project's Claude skills directory. It removes and copies only the package-named skill, which broadens Claude guidance for Astro component requests.

- **Trigger:** npm installation

- **Impact:** Unconsented project AI-agent configuration mutation; no exfiltration or remote execution confirmed.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.mjs, agents/claude/evoke-astro-core/SKILL.md, src/components/PdfViewer/PdfViewer.ts, src/integrations/relative-links.ts, src/integrations/prune-build.ts

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-26T00:03:43.578Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** automatic first-party Claude skill replacement

- **Rationale:** Source confirms automatic AI-agent skill mutation during install. Its package-scoped destination and documentation-only content support a warning rather than a malicious block.

- **Files touched:** postinstall.mjs, agents/claude/evoke-astro-core/SKILL.md, .claude/skills/evoke-astro-core

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 90.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for:** package.json runs postinstall.mjs automatically on installation., postinstall deletes and replaces .claude/skills/evoke-astro-core in the consuming project., The installed skill directs Claude to activate for broad Astro component requests.

- **Evidence against:** The mutation is limited to a package-named skill directory copied from the package., No credential harvesting, shell execution, remote payload loading, or network exfiltration was found in reviewed source., Bundled PDF code is used by the PDF viewer to load the caller-supplied data-pdf URL.

## Public findings

### 1. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@inizioevoke/astro-core@3.1.3/package.json>)

Package defines install-time lifecycle scripts.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```json
scripts.postinstall = node postinstall.mjs
```

### 2. Medium: Ambiguous Install Lifecycle Script
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 75.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@inizioevoke/astro-core@3.1.3/package.json>)

Install-time lifecycle script is not statically allowlisted and needs review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```json
scripts.postinstall = node postinstall.mjs
```

### 3. Low: Scripts Present
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

Package declares npm scripts.

- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@inizioevoke/astro-core@3.1.3/src/components/PdfViewer/pdf.worker.min.mjs>)

Package source references dynamic require/import behavior.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L24: * pdfjsBuild = 7e5b36c2d
L25: */const e=!("object"!=typeof process||process+""!="[object process]"||process.versions.nw||process.versions.electron&&process.type&&"browser"!==process.type),t=[1/0,1/0,-1/0,-1/0],...
L26: /*webpackIgnore: true*/
```

### 5. Medium: Network
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 75.0%

Package source references network APIs.

### 6. Low: Filesystem
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 70.0%

Package source references filesystem APIs.

### 7. Critical: Ai Agent Control Hijack
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** postinstall.mjs
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@inizioevoke/astro-core@3.1.3/postinstall.mjs>)

Source creates an unconsented AI-agent control surface through install-time mutation or a default unauthenticated remote skill channel.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
Install-time AI-agent control hijack evidence:
L1: import { cpSync, readdirSync, rmSync } from 'fs';
L2: import { join, dirname } from 'path';
...
L8: const projectRoot = join(__dirname, '..', '..', '..');
L9: const destDir = join(projectRoot, '.claude', 'skills');
L10: const src = join(__dirname, 'agents', 'claude');
...
L15: rmSync(skillDestDir, { recursive: true, force: true });
L16: cpSync(join(src, dir), skillDestDir, { recursive: true });
L17: }
Payload evidence from agents/claude/evoke-astro-core/SKILL.md:
L232: 
L233: Custom event: `evopdfviewer-click` (fires when a custom `http://pdfviewer.evo` protocol link is clicked)
L234:
```

### 8. Medium: Protestware
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 90.0%

Package source has broad protestware-like patterns that need review.

### 9. Low: High Entropy Strings

### 11. Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review
- **Category:** Artifact Inventory
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean.

### 12. High: Known Malware Source Fingerprint Signature
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 94.0%
- **Path:** src/components/PdfViewer/pdf.min.mjs
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@inizioevoke/astro-core@3.1.3/src/components/PdfViewer/pdf.min.mjs>)

Source fingerprint signature matches a known malicious package signature; route for source-aware review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
matchType = malicious_source_fingerprint_signature
signature = ed254e81219aaf60
signatureType = suspicious_hashes
sourceLabel = final_verdict:malicious
matchedPackage = @inizioevoke/astro-core@3.0.3
