A consuming project gets Claude skills, agent definitions, Copilot routing instructions, and Copilot CLI prompt/session hooks installed without a further consent step. - **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:** 3.5.0 - **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 runs a postinstall hook that copies skills and agents into the consumer .claude and .agents directories and writes Copilot instruction and hook files. Those paths are Claude Code and Copilot control surfaces, and the writes happen without a separate setup command. Copilot hooks then run this package's shell scripts on session end and on each submitted prompt. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-16T18:16:46.803Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-16T18:20:03.719Z - **Download time:** 1287 ms - **Static scan time:** 759 ms - **AI review time:** 194869 ms - **Total time:** 196916 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

Those paths are Claude Code and Copilot control surfaces, and the writes happen without a separate setup command. Copilot hooks then run this package's shell scripts on session end and on each submitted prompt. - **Trigger:** npm install of @jenga-ai/agent, which runs the postinstall script. - **Impact:** A consuming project gets Claude skills, agent definitions, Copilot routing instructions, and Copilot CLI prompt/session hooks installed without a further consent step. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, lib/generate-copilot-instructions.js, lib/generate-copilot-hooks.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-16T18:20:03.719Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** unattended postinstall writes into Claude Code and Copilot control surfaces - **Attack narrative:** On npm install, postinstall copies this package's skills and agents into the consumer .claude and .agents folders that Claude Code and other agents load. It then writes .github/copilot-instructions.md, appending a Jenga block onto any existing Copilot instructions file that lacks its markers, and overwrites .github/hooks/jenga.json so Copilot CLI runs this package's shell scripts on session end and every submitted prompt. Those writes need no extra command. That is unattended takeover of Claude Code and Copilot control surfaces as soon as the package is installed. - **Rationale:** The postinstall hook copies skills and agents into consumer .claude and .agents paths and writes Copilot instruction and hook files, which is unconsented mutation of foreign AI-agent control surfaces. Dashboard and parser files flagged by similarity are local product code, not a hidden second payload. - **Files touched:** .claude/skills/, .claude/agents/, .agents/skills/, .agents/agents/, .github/copilot-instructions.md, .github/hooks/jenga.json, .jenga-version ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** npm postinstall runs scripts/postinstall.js automatically on install., That hook copies skills and agents into the consumer .claude and .agents trees that Claude Code and other agents load., The same hook writes .github/copilot-instructions.md with no extra prompt., It also writes .github/hooks/jenga.json so Copilot CLI runs this package's shell scripts on session end and each submitted prompt., If a Copilot instructions file already exists without Jenga markers, the generator appends a Jenga block onto it., The Copilot hook file is fully overwritten with sessionEnd and userPromptSubmitted command hooks. - **Evidence against:** The package does not depend on another release of @jenga-ai/agent., The install hook does not harvest credentials or call a remote endpoint., child\_process use in the dashboard scripts opens a local URL on an explicit user command., Claude settings.json hook injection runs from jenga init, not from postinstall., Dashboard and parser files flagged by similarity are ordinary local product code, not a second payload. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @jenga-ai/agent@3.5.0. - Avoid installing @jenga-ai/agent@3.5.0. 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.
