The package can alter the AI-agent instructions active 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:** 3.2.0 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Installing the package mutates the consuming project's Claude skill directory. It deletes a same-named skill and installs a package-supplied broadly triggered skill without a user command. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-31T15:04:51.750Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-31T15:05:35.786Z - **Download time:** 521 ms - **Static scan time:** 2036 ms - **AI review time:** 41478 ms - **Total time:** 44036 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installing the package mutates the consuming project's Claude skill directory. It deletes a same-named skill and installs a package-supplied broadly triggered skill without a user command. - **Trigger:** npm installation, through the postinstall lifecycle hook. - **Impact:** The package can alter the AI-agent instructions active in the consumer project. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.mjs, agents/claude/evoke-astro-core/SKILL.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-31T15:05:35.786Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Forced replacement of a consumer AI-agent skill during installation. - **Attack narrative:** On installation, package.json invokes postinstall.mjs. That script walks from node\_modules to the consumer project, deletes .claude/skills/evoke-astro-core, and copies its own skill there. The supplied skill is configured to activate for broad Astro-related requests even when the package is not named. This is an unconsented install-time mutation of a consumer AI-agent control surface. - **Rationale:** This is concrete, automatic mutation of a foreign AI-agent configuration area and replaces existing content. The lack of network or credential theft does not neutralize the install-time control-surface takeover. - **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:** The automatic postinstall hook runs postinstall.mjs during installation., The hook resolves the consuming project and targets its .claude/skills control surface., The hook force-removes an existing skill directory and replaces it with package content., The installed skill broadens activation to general Astro requests without requiring the package name. - **Evidence against:** No network, credential harvesting, or shell execution was found in the lifecycle script., The copied skill is a library usage guide rather than an executable payload. ## Public findings ### 1.
