A dependency installation changes how Claude and Copilot discover instructions and execute package-controlled hooks 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:** 3.1.1 - **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. Installation automatically populates consumer AI-agent discovery directories and registers command hooks. Those hooks invoke shell scripts from the installed package on Copilot lifecycle events. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-13T03:00:28.463Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-13T03:01:27.788Z - **Download time:** 1015 ms - **Static scan time:** 434 ms - **AI review time:** 57875 ms - **Total time:** 59325 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

Those hooks invoke shell scripts from the installed package on Copilot lifecycle events. - **Trigger:** npm installation or upgrade of the package in a consumer project. - **Impact:** A dependency installation changes how Claude and Copilot discover instructions and execute package-controlled hooks without an explicit setup command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, lib/generate-copilot-hooks.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-13T03:01:27.788Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic mutation of AI-agent skills, instructions, and lifecycle-hook configuration. - **Attack narrative:** When npm installs the package, its postinstall handler identifies the consumer root, copies package-controlled skills and agents into .claude and .agents, then writes .github/hooks/jenga.json. The generated configuration registers command hooks for Copilot session-end and prompt-submission events, pointing at shell scripts inside the installed dependency. This creates an unattended, package-controlled AI-agent execution and instruction surface in the consumer project. - **Rationale:** This is an unconsented postinstall mutation of broad AI-agent control surfaces, including automatic command-hook registration. The absence of observed network exfiltration does not remove the concrete lifecycle control-hijack behavior. - **Files touched:** .claude/skills/, .claude/agents/, .agents/skills/, .agents/agents/, .github/copilot-instructions.md, .github/hooks/jenga.json, .jenga-version, hooks/copilot\_session\_end.sh, hooks/prompt\_router.sh ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** The package automatically runs a postinstall script., Postinstall copies package skills and agents into both .claude and .agents in the consumer project., Postinstall unconditionally creates a Copilot hook configuration that runs package shell hooks on agent events., The included MCP server can run a supplied start.sh with the host environment. - **Evidence against:** No lifecycle network endpoint or credential exfiltration was found., The prompt-router helper currently returns the submitted prompt unchanged. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @jenga-ai/agent@3.1.1. - Avoid installing @jenga-ai/agent@3.1.1. 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.
