Package content can influence multiple installed AI agents without a separate user setup action. - **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:** 0.1.14 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Installation automatically writes package-controlled agent skill content into several unrelated AI-agent configuration areas. The writes occur whenever the corresponding parent directory already exists. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-31T16:54:33.187Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-31T16:55:24.349Z - **Download time:** 1033 ms - **Static scan time:** 153 ms - **AI review time:** 49975 ms - **Total time:** 51162 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installation automatically writes package-controlled agent skill content into several unrelated AI-agent configuration areas. The writes occur whenever the corresponding parent directory already exists. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall during package installation - **Impact:** Package content can influence multiple installed AI agents without a separate user setup action. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-31T16:55:24.349Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** automatic cross-platform AI-agent skill installation - **Attack narrative:** Installing the package invokes a postinstall script. That script detects existing skill parents for multiple independent AI-agent products, creates package-specific directories, and copies its skill instructions and references into each. This is an unconsented, broad mutation of AI-agent control surfaces rather than a user-invoked setup command. - **Rationale:** The automatic postinstall writes package-controlled instructions into several foreign AI-agent skill locations. This meets the policy threshold for malicious install-hook abuse even though no separate exfiltration behavior was confirmed in the inspected JavaScript. - **Files touched:** scripts/install.js, SKILL.md, references, 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 through postinstall., The install script targets skill directories for Claude, Mavis, Hermes, OpenClaw, Codex, and WorkBuddy under the user's home directory., The lifecycle script creates those skill directories and copies SKILL.md and reference documents into them without an explicit user command. - **Evidence against:** The inspected JavaScript contains no credential exfiltration, remote payload download, or shell execution., The only source URL in the installer is a GitHub issue-report link. ## Public findings ### 1.
