A package install can alter the behavior and available instructions of AI coding agents 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:** 1.2.3 - **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 automatically writes package-controlled agent instructions into the consumer project's Claude and generic agent discovery paths. Existing differing instruction files can be overwritten. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-06T02:48:13.723Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-06T02:54:06.202Z - **Download time:** 762 ms - **Static scan time:** 407 ms - **AI review time:** 351309 ms - **Total time:** 352479 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:** Installing the package automatically writes package-controlled agent instructions into the consumer project's Claude and generic agent discovery paths. Existing differing instruction files can be overwritten. - **Trigger:** npm installation or upgrade - **Impact:** A package install can alter the behavior and available instructions of AI coding agents in the consumer project. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, lib/mirror.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-06T02:54:06.202Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Postinstall mirroring into AI-agent discovery directories - **Attack narrative:** npm invokes the postinstall script without a separate setup command. The script selects the consumer working directory, then copies package-controlled skills and agent definitions into both .claude and .agents. Its mirror helper writes new files and overwrites differing files, allowing the package to change AI-agent control content in the consumer project at install time. - **Rationale:** This is an unconsented postinstall mutation of broad foreign AI-agent discovery surfaces. The absence of observed exfiltration does not remove the concrete install-time control-hijack risk. - **Files touched:** \/.claude/skills/\*\*, \/.claude/agents/\*\*, \/.agents/skills/\*\*, \/.agents/agents/\*\*, \/.jenga-version ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** The package runs a postinstall hook automatically., The hook uses the install caller's directory as the consumer root., On first install or upgrade, it mirrors skills and agents into both AI-agent discovery directories., The mirror overwrites existing differing files without user confirmation. - **Evidence against:** No network requests or credential collection were found in the inspected installation path., The install mirror is additive and does not delete consumer files. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @jenga-ai/agent@1.2.3. - Avoid installing @jenga-ai/agent@1.2.3. 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.
