## 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:** 3.1.4
- **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 installation unconditionally modifies the consuming project’s Claude skill directory. No exfiltration or remote execution is established.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** npm installation unconditionally modifies the consuming project’s Claude skill directory. No exfiltration or remote execution is established.

- **Trigger:** npm postinstall

- **Impact:** Adds and overwrites an AI-agent instruction surface 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:** 2026-08-26T00:45:35.769Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** replaces a package-named Claude skill

- **Rationale:** This is a first-party package-owned agent extension installed through an unconsented postinstall hook. Policy classifies that as warn rather than block absent a malicious chain.

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

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 93.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** Install-time postinstall targets the consuming project’s .claude/skills directory., The hook deletes and replaces a Claude skill directory without user action.

- **Evidence against:** Copied content is a package-specific Astro component usage guide., No credential harvesting, network exfiltration, shell execution, or remote payload loading was found., Other filesystem mutations are user-configured Astro build-output integrations.

## 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@3.1.4/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@3.1.4/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.

### 4. Medium: Dynamic Require
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 75.0%
- **Path:** src/components/PdfViewer/pdf.worker.min.mjs
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@inizioevoke/astro-core@3.1.4/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@3.1.4/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
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 55.0%

Package source contains high-entropy string patterns.

### 10. Low: Url Strings
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 65.0%

Package source contains URL literals.

### 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@3.1.4/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
matchedPath = src/components/PdfViewer/pdf.min.mjs
matchedIdentity = npm:QGluaXppb2V2b2tlL2FzdHJvLWNvcmU:3.0.3
similarity = 1.000
shingleOverlap = 6
summary = package final verdict is malicious
