Can cause Claude to load package instructions for broad unrelated 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:** 3.2.3 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. On npm installation, the package overwrites a Claude skill in the consuming project. This mutates an AI-agent control surface without a user command or consent. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-04T16:01:38.008Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-04T16:02:44.597Z - **Download time:** 762 ms - **Static scan time:** 2175 ms - **AI review time:** 63651 ms - **Total time:** 66589 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** On npm installation, the package overwrites a Claude skill in the consuming project. This mutates an AI-agent control surface without a user command or consent. - **Trigger:** Installing the package, which runs its postinstall lifecycle hook. - **Impact:** Can cause Claude to load package instructions for broad unrelated Astro requests. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.mjs, agents/claude/evoke-astro-core/SKILL.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-04T16:02:44.597Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Force-replaces a consumer Claude skill with package-supplied instructions. - **Attack narrative:** The postinstall hook locates the consuming project, deletes .claude/skills/evoke-astro-core, and copies in a package-controlled skill. That skill instructs Claude to activate across a broad set of Astro requests, including requests that do not name this package. The mutation occurs automatically during installation and changes a foreign agent control surface. - **Rationale:** This is an unconsented postinstall mutation of the consumer project's Claude skill configuration. The absence of network or secret theft does not neutralize the automatic agent-control 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:** Installation automatically runs postinstall.mjs., The installer targets the consumer project's .claude/skills directory., It force-removes and replaces a Claude skill directory., The injected skill directs Claude to activate for broad Astro-related requests. - **Evidence against:** No network, secret collection, or shell execution appears in the installer., The flagged PDF files are bundled PDF viewer code; they do not establish the install-time attack. ## Public findings ### 1.
