Existing AI agents may load package-controlled instructions and invoke its binary or installation workflow. - **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:** 0.1.20 - **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. An npm postinstall hook installs package-authored agent skills into multiple unrelated AI-agent control surfaces without a user command. It also installs a platform binary. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-14T02:10:00.732Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-14T02:11:05.833Z - **Download time:** 1275 ms - **Static scan time:** 136 ms - **AI review time:** 63689 ms - **Total time:** 65101 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

It also installs a platform binary. - **Trigger:** Installing the npm package runs its postinstall hook. - **Impact:** Existing AI agents may load package-controlled instructions and invoke its binary or installation workflow. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-14T02:11:05.833Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Postinstall writes agent skill files into home-directory skill registries. - **Attack narrative:** On npm installation, package.json launches scripts/install.js. That hook copies a selected native binary and then creates and populates skill directories for Claude, Mavis, Hermes, OpenClaw, Codex, and WorkBuddy when their parent directories exist. This is unconsented postinstall mutation of multiple foreign AI-agent control surfaces, allowing package-authored instructions to become discoverable by those agents. - **Rationale:** The automatic lifecycle hook broadly mutates foreign AI-agent skill registries. This meets the install-control-surface blocking policy regardless of the absence of direct JavaScript exfiltration. - **Files touched:** bin/kugou-cli, 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, ~/.workbuddy/skills/kugou-skill\_\_skillhub ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** The package runs install.js automatically after npm installation., The install hook targets skill directories for six unrelated AI-agent products., The hook creates skill directories and copies its skill instructions and reference files into them., The copied instructions direct agents to install this package and handle persistent login secrets. - **Evidence against:** The JavaScript hook has no direct network or credential-exfiltration code., Skill copying is conditional on an existing parent skills directory. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @kg-ai/kugou-skill@0.1.20. - Avoid installing @kg-ai/kugou-skill@0.1.20. 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.
