Subsequent AI-agent sessions can discover and follow package-supplied instructions. - **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:** 1.0.1 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Installation automatically writes package-controlled agent instructions into consumer AI-agent discovery directories. This is an unconsented mutation of broad, foreign agent control surfaces. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-09T21:36:22.147Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-09T21:37:12.154Z - **Download time:** 505 ms - **Static scan time:** 205 ms - **AI review time:** 49291 ms - **Total time:** 50007 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installation automatically writes package-controlled agent instructions into consumer AI-agent discovery directories. This is an unconsented mutation of broad, foreign agent control surfaces. - **Trigger:** npm installation, via postinstall - **Impact:** Subsequent AI-agent sessions can discover and follow package-supplied instructions. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, lib/mirror.js, hooks/prompt\_router\_helper.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-09T21:37:12.154Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Mirrors skills and agent definitions into .claude and .agents - **Attack narrative:** The postinstall hook derives the consumer root from INIT\_CWD and automatically copies the package's skills and agents into both .claude and .agents. These are agent-discovery directories, so a normal dependency install injects package-controlled instructions into future AI-agent sessions without an explicit setup command. - **Rationale:** This is a concrete unconsented postinstall mutation of foreign/broad AI-agent control surfaces. The absence of exfiltration does not remove the install-time control-hijack behavior. - **Files touched:** \/.claude/skills/\*\*, \/.claude/agents/\*\*, \/.agents/skills/\*\*, \/.agents/agents/\*\*, \/.jenga-version ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs scripts/postinstall.js automatically., scripts/postinstall.js uses INIT\_CWD to target the consumer project., It mirrors skills/ and agents/ into \/.claude and \/.agents., Those are AI-agent discovery/control paths and are populated without a user CLI command., lib/mirror.js can overwrite differing files in those target trees. - **Evidence against:** No install-time network endpoint or credential harvesting was found., hooks/prompt\_router\_helper.js only reads stdin and passes prompts through., postinstall uses additive mirroring and does not delete consumer files. ## Public findings ### 1.

Critical: Ai Agent Control Hijack - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** scripts/postinstall.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Source creates an unconsented AI-agent control surface through install-time mutation or a default unauthenticated remote skill channel. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript L6: * Copies the discovery-bound dirs — `skills/` and `agents/` — into BOTH L7: * `/.claude/` (where Claude Code looks) and `/.agents/` L8: * (where non-Claude agents like Copilot / custom look, per the framework's ... L111: L112: // Discovery-bound dirs get mirrored to both .claude/ (Claude Code) and L113: // .agents/ (Copilot / custom).
