A package installation changes the consumer's AI-agent control surface without an explicit setup command. - **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:** 1.3.0 - **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 a consumer project's AI-agent discovery paths and Copilot instruction file. The generated instructions can direct Copilot to run package-provided skill procedures and shell commands. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-06T02:48:13.982Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-06T02:54:11.397Z - **Download time:** 517 ms - **Static scan time:** 395 ms - **AI review time:** 356502 ms - **Total time:** 357415 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

The generated instructions can direct Copilot to run package-provided skill procedures and shell commands. - **Trigger:** npm installation - **Impact:** A package installation changes the consumer's AI-agent control surface without an explicit setup command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, lib/generate-copilot-instructions.js, templates/copilot-instructions.md.tpl - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-06T02:54:11.397Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Postinstall copies agent content and writes mandatory Copilot routing instructions - **Attack narrative:** The postinstall hook runs during npm installation, mirrors package-controlled skills and agents into \`.claude\` and \`.agents\`, and writes \`.github/copilot-instructions.md\` without prompting. That file instructs Copilot to load matched skills and execute their instructions, including shell commands, exactly as written. This creates an unconsented, package-controlled AI-agent execution path in the consumer project. - **Rationale:** This is concrete install-time mutation of broad, foreign AI-agent control surfaces, followed by instructions that suppress independent judgment and enable package-provided command execution. It meets the install-hook abuse blocking 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:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** The package runs a postinstall script automatically., Postinstall copies skills and agents into both Claude and generic agent discovery directories., Postinstall unconditionally creates or changes GitHub Copilot instructions., The injected instructions tell Copilot to execute skill files exactly, including shell commands, without independent judgment. - **Evidence against:** No lifecycle self-dependency is declared., The inspected install hook has no network request or credential collection. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @jenga-ai/agent@1.3.0. - Avoid installing @jenga-ai/agent@1.3.0. 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.
