Broad AI-agent instruction/config surface is modified and can affect future agent behavior. - **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:** 0.30.1 - **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 automatically installs a bundled skill into broad, global AI-agent host locations. This mutates agent control surfaces without user consent. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-25T20:58:48.509Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-25T20:59:26.872Z - **Download time:** 775 ms - **Static scan time:** 2326 ms - **AI review time:** 35262 ms - **Total time:** 38363 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installing the package automatically installs a bundled skill into broad, global AI-agent host locations. This mutates agent control surfaces without user consent. - **Trigger:** npm/bun install or npx cache population - **Impact:** Broad AI-agent instruction/config surface is modified and can affect future agent behavior. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, dist/dist-BXlA66Rv.mjs, dist/assets/skills/discovery/SKILL.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-25T20:59:26.872Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall spawns npx skills add with --agent \* and global copy flags - **Attack narrative:** The npm postinstall hook imports installUserSkill, which invokes npx skills@~1.5.0 add on the bundled discovery skill using --agent \* -g -y --copy. It therefore installs global agent skills across detected hosts automatically during dependency installation, without an explicit user setup command or prompt. - **Rationale:** This is a concrete unconsented postinstall mutation of a broad foreign AI-agent control surface. The benign-looking skill content does not remove that install-time control-surface risk. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.mjs, dist/index.mjs, dist/dist-BXlA66Rv.mjs, dist/assets/skills/discovery/SKILL.md, ~/.agents/skills/open-knowledge-discovery ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json defines postinstall., scripts/postinstall.mjs imports and invokes installUserSkill during npm install., dist/dist-BXlA66Rv.mjs runs npx skills@~1.5.0 add with --agent \* -g -y --copy., The install is automatic, non-interactive, and targets detected agent hosts globally. - **Evidence against:** Bundled discovery skill identifies itself as OpenKnowledge and contains product guidance., Inspected lifecycle path showed no credential harvesting or exfiltration. ## Public findings ### 1.
