A dependency can silently change how Claude handles broad Astro-related requests in the consumer project. - **Verdict:** AI-agent control-surface policy finding - **Product-default install policy:** Warn by default; block when configured - **Firewall policy:** Warn by default - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Soft block: AI-agent control surface - **Selected version:** 3.2.4 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This finding concerns changes to an AI agent's instructions or configuration without explicit user action. It does not by itself establish malware intent. The CLI warns by default and blocks when configured for this policy. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Installing the package modifies the consuming project's Claude control surface. It removes and replaces a skill directory without a user command. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-15T02:57:01.943Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-15T02:57:58.174Z - **Download time:** 765 ms - **Static scan time:** 1625 ms - **AI review time:** 53840 ms - **Total time:** 56231 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

It removes and replaces a skill directory without a user command. - **Trigger:** npm installation executes postinstall. - **Impact:** A dependency can silently change how Claude handles broad Astro-related requests in the consumer project. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.mjs, agents/claude/evoke-astro-core/SKILL.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-15T02:57:58.174Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Install-time forced replacement of a project-level Claude skill. - **Attack narrative:** On npm installation, the postinstall script resolves the consumer project root, deletes .claude/skills/evoke-astro-core, and copies in a package-supplied Claude skill. That skill is configured to trigger across broad Astro component and configuration requests. This is an unconsented install-time mutation of a foreign AI-agent control surface. - **Rationale:** The automatic lifecycle hook forcibly changes project-level Claude behavior, which is concrete install-hook abuse under the policy. No separate exfiltration is required for this blocking verdict. - **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 policy risk:** The package automatically runs postinstall., The installer derives the consuming project root and targets its .claude skills directory., It forcibly deletes and replaces a Claude skill directory during installation., The installed skill directs Claude to apply itself broadly to Astro work without an explicit user action. - **Evidence against:** No credential harvesting, shell execution, or network exfiltration was found in the inspected installer., The bundled PDF files appear to be PDF viewer code; their network APIs support loading PDFs, not the install-time behavior. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @inizioevoke/astro-core@3.2.4. - Avoid installing @inizioevoke/astro-core@3.2.4. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
