This changes which instructions those agents load for later user requests. - **Trigger:** Installing the package through npm, which runs its postinstall hook. - **Impact:** The package can alter behavior across existing Claude, Codex, Mavis, Hermes, OpenClaw, and WorkBuddy installations without an explicit setup command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install.js, SKILL.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-31T08:43:46.400Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic cross-agent skill-directory creation and instruction copying. - **Attack narrative:** On npm install, the postinstall hook selects a bundled binary and then detects pre-existing agent skill parents. It creates package-named skill directories under several unrelated agent homes and copies its activation instructions and references there. Those instructions cause agents to respond to broad music, secret-login, and local-control requests, making the install-time mutation a cross-agent control-surface change without an explicit user setup action. - **Rationale:** The automatic postinstall hook modifies several foreign AI-agent control surfaces and installs activating instructions into each. This is concrete unconsented install-time agent-control mutation. - **Files touched:** bin/kugou-cli, ~/.claude/skills/kugou-skill/SKILL.md, ~/.mavis/skills/kugou-skill/SKILL.md, ~/.hermes/skills/kugou-skill/SKILL.md, ~/.openclaw/skills/kugou-skill/SKILL.md, ~/.codex/skills/kugou-skill/SKILL.md, ~/.workbuddy/skills/kugou-skill/SKILL.md ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The package runs scripts/install.js automatically after npm installation., The installer writes a skill into six unrelated AI-agent home-directory control surfaces., It creates missing skill directories and copies the skill and reference files without a user command., The installed skill directs agents to activate on music, login-secret, and local-control requests. - **Evidence against:** The JavaScript installer contains no network request or credential-exfiltration code., The binary launcher only starts the package-selected native executable. ## Public findings ### 1.
