Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. An automatic npm installation hook changes consumer AI-agent discovery and control locations. It installs package content into Claude and generic agent directories, creates Copilot instructions, and configures package shell scripts as Copilot lifecycle hooks. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 97.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-29T01:26:32.685Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-29T01:27:26.643Z - **Download time:** 1016 ms - **Static scan time:** 1302 ms - **AI review time:** 51638 ms - **Total time:** 53958 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** An automatic npm installation hook changes consumer AI-agent discovery and control locations. It installs package content into Claude and generic agent directories, creates Copilot instructions, and configures package shell scripts as Copilot lifecycle hooks. - **Trigger:** Installing the package through npm runs the post-install hook without an interactive setup command. - **Impact:** A package installation can alter how AI coding agents load instructions and execute lifecycle hooks in the consumer project. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, lib/generate-copilot-hooks.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-29T01:27:26.643Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook mirrors package files into consumer agent directories and writes Copilot configuration that invokes package-resident shell scripts on agent events. - **Attack narrative:** During npm installation, the package automatically populates consumer AI-agent discovery directories and creates Copilot project configuration. The generated configuration associates prompt and session lifecycle events with shell scripts from the installed package. These changes occur before the user runs the explicit setup command and modify broad agent control surfaces in the consumer project. - **Rationale:** The automatic post-install chain mutates foreign AI-agent configuration and installs executable lifecycle hooks without interactive consent. This is concrete install-hook abuse under the stated policy, despite no inspected evidence of network exfiltration. - **Files touched:** .claude, .agents, .github/copilot-instructions.md, .github/hooks/jenga.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 97.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The package registers an automatic post-install script., That script mirrors package-controlled skills and agents into both consumer agent discovery directories., The unattended installer bootstraps Copilot instructions in the consumer project., The generated Copilot hook configuration runs package shell scripts for session-end and prompt-submission events. - **Evidence against:** No outbound network endpoint or credential collection was identified in the inspected installation and hook configuration paths. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @jenga-ai/agent@4.1.0. - Avoid installing @jenga-ai/agent@4.1.0. 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.
