A package install can alter how the user's Claude agent is instructed for unrelated future Astro requests. - **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:** 3.2.2 - **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 mutates the consuming project's Claude control surface. It removes and replaces a named skill under .claude/skills with a broadly auto-triggering instruction file. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-31T18:52:30.475Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-31T18:53:13.696Z - **Download time:** 518 ms - **Static scan time:** 1837 ms - **AI review time:** 40866 ms - **Total time:** 43221 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installation mutates the consuming project's Claude control surface. It removes and replaces a named skill under .claude/skills with a broadly auto-triggering instruction file. - **Trigger:** npm installation runs the postinstall lifecycle hook. - **Impact:** A package install can alter how the user's Claude agent is instructed for unrelated future Astro requests. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.mjs, agents/claude/evoke-astro-core/SKILL.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-31T18:53:13.696Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic deletion and copying of a Claude skill into the consumer project. - **Attack narrative:** During npm installation, package.json launches postinstall.mjs. That script resolves the consuming project root, force-removes .claude/skills/evoke-astro-core, and copies in the package's skill. The copied skill directs Claude to activate for many generic Astro component requests even when the package was not named. This is an unconsented install-time mutation of a foreign AI-agent control surface. - **Rationale:** This package has a concrete, automatic postinstall chain that overwrites a consumer Claude skill with broad activation instructions. Under the install-control-surface policy, that is malicious install-hook abuse despite no observed network or credential theft. - **Files touched:** postinstall.mjs, agents/claude/evoke-astro-core/SKILL.md, .claude/skills/evoke-astro-core ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The package automatically runs postinstall., The installer deletes and replaces a consumer project's .claude skill directory., The installed skill instructs Claude to activate for broad Astro component requests without an explicit package mention. - **Evidence against:** The installer contains no network, shell, or credential-harvesting operation., Bundled PDF code appears to be a local PDF.js dependency artifact, not part of the install-time behavior. ## Public findings ### 1.
