Consumer AI-agent discovery paths and Copilot routing instructions can be replaced or augmented with package-controlled content. - **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:** 1.2.4 - **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 mutates several AI-agent control surfaces in the consumer project. It copies behavior-bearing content into .claude and .agents and writes Copilot instructions without an explicit setup command. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 97.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-06T02:48:13.487Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-06T02:54:08.890Z - **Download time:** 1018 ms - **Static scan time:** 388 ms - **AI review time:** 353995 ms - **Total time:** 355403 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

It copies behavior-bearing content into .claude and .agents and writes Copilot instructions without an explicit setup command. - **Trigger:** npm installation runs the postinstall hook. - **Impact:** Consumer AI-agent discovery paths and Copilot routing instructions can be replaced or augmented with package-controlled content. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, lib/mirror.js, lib/generate-copilot-instructions.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-06T02:54:08.890Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Unattended recursive mirroring and instruction-file generation. - **Attack narrative:** The manifest invokes postinstall automatically. That hook uses the installing project as its destination, recursively copies package-controlled skills and agents into both Claude and general agent discovery directories, and can overwrite differing files. It then creates or modifies Copilot instructions without an interactive command. This is an unconsented, install-time mutation of broad foreign AI-agent control surfaces. - **Rationale:** The automatic lifecycle hook changes consumer AI-agent configuration and discovery content without explicit user setup. This meets the install-time AI-agent control-surface mutation block policy despite no observed network exfiltration. - **Files touched:** .claude/skills/, .claude/agents/, .agents/skills/, .agents/agents/, .github/copilot-instructions.md, .jenga-version ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 97.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** The manifest automatically runs a postinstall script., The postinstall mirrors package skills and agents into both consumer .claude and .agents directories., The mirror overwrites differing consumer files without prompting., The postinstall also unconditionally creates or updates .github/copilot-instructions.md. - **Evidence against:** The inspected install path contains no network request or credential collection., The installer is additive-only and does not delete mirrored files. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @jenga-ai/agent@1.2.4. - Avoid installing @jenga-ai/agent@1.2.4. 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.
