Unconsented AI-agent control-surface modification in the consuming 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:** 3.1.5 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **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 directory. It deletes then installs a package-provided skill without a user command. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-26T01:38:21.259Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-26T01:39:06.508Z - **Download time:** 519 ms - **Static scan time:** 1830 ms - **AI review time:** 42899 ms - **Total time:** 45249 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installation silently mutates the consuming project's Claude skill directory. It deletes then installs a package-provided skill without a user command. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall during package installation - **Impact:** Unconsented AI-agent control-surface modification in the consuming project. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.mjs, agents/claude/evoke-astro-core/SKILL.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-26T01:39:06.508Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** forced replacement of project .claude skills - **Attack narrative:** Installing the package invokes postinstall.mjs. It derives the consumer project root, targets .claude/skills, force-removes each same-named skill directory, and copies the package's bundled Claude skill into it. This changes an AI-agent instruction/control surface without an explicit user setup action. - **Rationale:** The postinstall hook performs unconsented destructive replacement in a foreign project-level AI-agent skill directory. This meets the install-time AI-agent control-surface block criterion despite the bundled skill being package documentation. - **Files touched:** 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:** npm postinstall runs a filesystem mutation script., The script targets the consuming project's .claude/skills control surface., It forcibly deletes and replaces skill directories from the package. - **Evidence against:** Bundled SKILL.md documents this package's Astro components., No network or credential-exfiltration code was found in reviewed sources. ## Public findings ### 1.
