This makes package-authored instructions available to those agents. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 97.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-12T13:33:51.909Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-12T13:33:53.330Z - **Download time:** 1264 ms - **Static scan time:** 156 ms - **AI review time:** 118938 ms - **Total time:** 1421 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** npm installation unconsentingly installs a skill into existing third-party AI-agent control surfaces. This makes package-authored instructions available to those agents. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall - **Impact:** Cross-agent instruction/control-surface mutation. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install.js, SKILL.md, references - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-12T13:33:53.330Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** copies skill files into foreign AI-agent skill directories - **Attack narrative:** On npm installation, the postinstall script checks for existing AI-agent skill roots and then creates package-controlled skill directories under them. It copies SKILL.md and reference documents into Claude, Mavis, Hermes, OpenClaw, Codex, and WorkBuddy locations without an explicit user setup command. This is an unconsented install-time mutation of foreign AI-agent control surfaces. - **Rationale:** The guarded existence check does not make this an explicit user action: npm postinstall writes into multiple foreign agent roots and creates its own directories. That meets the block policy for broad unconsented AI-agent control-surface mutation. - **Files touched:** scripts/install.js, SKILL.md, references, ~/.claude/skills/kugou-skill, ~/.mavis/skills/kugou-skill, ~/.hermes/skills/kugou-skill, ~/.openclaw/skills/kugou-skill, ~/.codex/skills/kugou-skill, ~/.workbuddy/skills/kugou-skill ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** postinstall runs scripts/install.js., Installer targets Claude, Mavis, Hermes, OpenClaw, Codex, and WorkBuddy skill roots., When a root exists, it creates a skill folder and copies SKILL.md and references. - **Evidence against:** Writes are guarded by pre-existing parent skill roots., No JavaScript exfiltration or remote payload fetch was found. ## Public findings ### 1.
