Unconsented mutation of foreign global AI-agent control surfaces; installed instructions can influence 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:** 0.30.2 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Installation silently invokes a package-supplied skill installer. It uses npx with automatic confirmation to copy a bundled skill into every detected global AI-agent host and removes prior host skill paths. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-25T20:58:47.819Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-25T20:59:31.207Z - **Download time:** 1023 ms - **Static scan time:** 2756 ms - **AI review time:** 39608 ms - **Total time:** 43388 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installation silently invokes a package-supplied skill installer. It uses npx with automatic confirmation to copy a bundled skill into every detected global AI-agent host and removes prior host skill paths. - **Trigger:** npm/bun install or npx cache population - **Impact:** Unconsented mutation of foreign global AI-agent control surfaces; installed instructions can influence future agent behavior. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, dist/dist-CmLjR\_Cj.mjs, dist/write-project-skill-fM8HWeYm.mjs, dist/assets/skills/discovery/SKILL.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-25T20:59:31.207Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall broad AI-agent skill installation - **Attack narrative:** On package installation, postinstall loads installUserSkill. That function launches npx skills@~1.5.0 with --agent \* -g -y --copy, causing noninteractive global installation into detected AI-agent hosts; it also removes legacy skills from .claude, .cursor, and .agents. This is an unconsented install-time mutation of broad, foreign agent control surfaces. - **Rationale:** Direct source inspection confirms the policy-defined blocking behavior, independent of scanner labels. The bundled payload appears product-aligned, but its unconsented broad postinstall deployment is itself concrete attack behavior under the stated policy. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.mjs, dist/index.mjs, dist/dist-CmLjR\_Cj.mjs, ~/.agents/skills/open-knowledge-discovery, ~/.claude/skills/open-knowledge, ~/.cursor/skills/open-knowledge ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs postinstall automatically., scripts/postinstall.mjs imports and invokes installUserSkill()., dist/dist-CmLjR\_Cj.mjs runs npx skills@~1.5.0 add with --agent \* -g -y --copy., The same code removes legacy skills from ~/.claude, ~/.cursor, and ~/.agents., dist/write-project-skill-fM8HWeYm.mjs defines global MCP config targets including Codex, Claude, Cursor, and others. - **Evidence against:** Bundled discovery skill identifies Inkeep and OpenKnowledge purpose., Inspected skill content contains product guidance, not credential theft or exfiltration., No package-controlled network endpoint or secret exfiltration was confirmed. ## Public findings ### 1.
