A dependency install changes Claude, generic agent, and Copilot control files in the consumer project and registers package shell commands on Copilot prompt and session events. - **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:** 4.0.0 - **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. On npm install, postinstall copies this package's skills and agents into the consumer project's Claude and generic agent discovery directories and writes GitHub Copilot instruction and hook files. The hook file points session end and every submitted user prompt at shell scripts shipped inside the package. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-26T16:34:25.801Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-26T16:35:38.299Z - **Download time:** 1030 ms - **Static scan time:** 903 ms - **AI review time:** 70565 ms - **Total time:** 72498 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

The hook file points session end and every submitted user prompt at shell scripts shipped inside the package. - **Trigger:** npm install lifecycle postinstall (node scripts/postinstall.js), using INIT\_CWD or the current directory as the consumer root. - **Impact:** A dependency install changes Claude, generic agent, and Copilot control files in the consumer project and registers package shell commands on Copilot prompt and session events. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, lib/generate-copilot-hooks.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-26T16:35:38.299Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The script mirrors skills and agents into .claude and .agents, then calls generateCopilotInstructions and generateCopilotHooks, which write .github/copilot-instructions.md and overwrite .github/hooks/jenga.json with command hooks. - **Attack narrative:** Installing @jenga-ai/agent runs scripts/postinstall.js without a prompt. The script copies the package skills and agents trees into the consumer .claude and .agents directories, which Claude Code and other agents load as project instructions. It then writes Copilot instructions and overwrites .github/hooks/jenga.json so sessionEnd and userPromptSubmitted execute the package's bash hooks. That is an install-time write to foreign and broad agent control surfaces, not a user-run setup command. - **Rationale:** The postinstall hook unconditionally plants framework files in .claude and .agents and registers Copilot command hooks, which is unconsented install-time mutation of foreign and broad AI-agent control surfaces. CLI-only settings injection does not undo that automatic install behavior. - **Files touched:** .claude/, .agents/, .github/copilot-instructions.md, .github/hooks/jenga.json, .jenga-version ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** npm postinstall runs node scripts/postinstall.js with no separate consent step., That hook mirrors skills and agents into the consumer .claude and .agents directories., The same unattended install writes .github/copilot-instructions.md and .github/hooks/jenga.json., The generated Copilot hook config binds sessionEnd and userPromptSubmitted to package bash scripts., generateCopilotHooks overwrites .github/hooks/jenga.json in the consumer project. - **Evidence against:** Claude settings injection and MCP attach run from the jenga init and jenga attach commands, not from postinstall., The prompt-router helper reads stdin and writes it back; this review found no network send in that hook., dependencies do not include this package name, so there is no nested lifecycle self-install. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @jenga-ai/agent@4.0.0. - Avoid installing @jenga-ai/agent@4.0.0. 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.
