It can establish or alter the Claude CLI configuration surface during dependency installation. - **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:** 8.10.0 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **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 automatically creates a Claude configuration directory and settings file in the user's home directory. This mutates a foreign AI-agent control surface without an explicit setup command. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-11T14:21:31.655Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-11T14:22:49.768Z - **Download time:** 1031 ms - **Static scan time:** 16472 ms - **AI review time:** 60609 ms - **Total time:** 78113 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:** Installing the package automatically creates a Claude configuration directory and settings file in the user's home directory. This mutates a foreign AI-agent control surface without an explicit setup command. - **Trigger:** npm install of the package runs postinstall. - **Impact:** It can establish or alter the Claude CLI configuration surface during dependency installation. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-11T14:22:49.768Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Install hook creates ~/.claude/settings.json. - **Attack narrative:** The package manifest invokes scripts/postinstall.js automatically. That script creates ~/.claude and writes ~/.claude/settings.json when absent, alongside package configuration. Although the written content is an empty object and existing settings are preserved, this is an unconsented install-time mutation of a foreign AI-agent control surface. - **Rationale:** The automatic postinstall hook mutates Claude CLI configuration outside the package-owned directory. Under the install-control-surface policy, this is concrete malicious install-hook abuse despite no observed network exfiltration. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.js, ~/.ccs/, ~/.claude/, ~/.claude/settings.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** The manifest automatically runs a postinstall script., The postinstall hook creates the foreign Claude agent directory and settings file without an explicit user command. - **Evidence against:** The hook preserves an existing settings file and writes only an empty JSON object., No network, credential collection, or exfiltration was found in the inspected install scripts. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @kaitranntt/ccs@8.10.0. - Avoid installing @kaitranntt/ccs@8.10.0. 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.
