## Verdict summary
**Soft block: AI-agent control surface** — Warn by default; block when configured. AI coding agents can be configured to launch Jolli components and receive injected instructions without consent at this installation event.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Warn by default
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Soft block: AI-agent control surface
- **Selected version:** 0.99.17
- **Selected version is latest:** Yes
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. An npm postinstall can invoke an installer without a user command. That installer modifies global AI-agent instruction and MCP control surfaces.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** An npm postinstall can invoke an installer without a user command. That installer modifies global AI-agent instruction and MCP control surfaces.

- **Trigger:** Installing the package when the existing Jolli state directory is present and the package path is outside the current project's node\_modules.

- **Impact:** AI coding agents can be configured to launch Jolli components and receive injected instructions without consent at this installation event.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/PostInstall.js, dist/Installer.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-01T03:30:56.392Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** Automatic global AI-agent configuration and MCP registration.

- **Attack narrative:** The package's postinstall launches PostInstall.js. If a Jolli state marker exists, that script invokes the installer outside a local node\_modules installation. The installer writes global agent instruction files and registers a Jolli MCP command in global Codex configuration, with registration support for numerous other agent hosts. This is an unconsented install-time mutation of broad, foreign AI-agent control surfaces.

- **Rationale:** The guarded condition does not supply consent for a new npm lifecycle event. The postinstall-to-installer chain directly mutates global agent control files, meeting the install-control-surface block policy.

- **Files touched:** ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md, ~/.gemini/GEMINI.md, ~/.codex/AGENTS.md, ~/.codex/config.toml, ~/.gemini/settings.json, ~/.copilot/mcp-config.json, ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 97.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** The npm postinstall hook launches package code automatically., Postinstall conditionally runs the installer when prior Jolli state exists and the package is not under the current project's node\_modules., The installer writes Jolli instructions into global Claude, Gemini, and Codex control files., It registers a local MCP server in global Codex configuration and supports many other agent hosts.

- **Evidence against:** The automatic path is guarded by an existing Jolli state directory., No concrete credential exfiltration or unrelated network endpoint was established., The two flagged marked files are identical vendored Markdown parser copies.
