It can replace the consumer's Claude skill configuration without an explicit user command. - **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:** 3.3.1 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **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. Installation mutates the consuming project's Claude skill directory. This is an unconsented AI-agent control-surface write. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-28T07:32:50.459Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-28T07:33:40.920Z - **Download time:** 1038 ms - **Static scan time:** 1426 ms - **AI review time:** 47997 ms - **Total time:** 50461 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installation mutates the consuming project's Claude skill directory. This is an unconsented AI-agent control-surface write. - **Trigger:** npm automatically runs the post-install hook during installation. - **Impact:** It can replace the consumer's Claude skill configuration without an explicit user command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-28T07:33:40.920Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook resolves the consumer root, recursively deletes matching skill directories, then copies package-provided skills into .claude/skills. - **Attack narrative:** Installing the package invokes its post-install hook. That hook escapes the package directory to the consuming project, removes skill directories under .claude/skills, and installs package-controlled replacements. The behavior changes an AI-agent control surface automatically and outside the package's own files. - **Rationale:** The automatic lifecycle hook performs a broad external Claude skills mutation and destructive replacement. No user-invoked setup gate is present. - **Files touched:** .claude/skills ### 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 a post-install script., The post-install script locates the consuming project and targets its Claude skills directory., The script recursively removes and replaces skill directories in that external agent control surface., The inspected carousel component only configures carousel markup and accessibility attributes. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @inizioevoke/astro-core@3.3.1. - Avoid installing @inizioevoke/astro-core@3.3.1. 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.
