Installed agents may automatically load package-controlled instructions, including secret-handling and update directives. - **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:** 0.1.7 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. npm postinstall copies a package-controlled skill and references into existing Claude, Mavis, Hermes, OpenClaw, Codex, and WorkBuddy skill directories. This silently changes multiple AI-agent control surfaces before a user invokes the CLI. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-06T08:28:26.314Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-06T08:34:22.087Z - **Download time:** 1513 ms - **Static scan time:** 140 ms - **AI review time:** 354119 ms - **Total time:** 355773 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** npm postinstall copies a package-controlled skill and references into existing Claude, Mavis, Hermes, OpenClaw, Codex, and WorkBuddy skill directories. This silently changes multiple AI-agent control surfaces before a user invokes the CLI. - **Trigger:** npm installation - **Impact:** Installed agents may automatically load package-controlled instructions, including secret-handling and update directives. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install.js, SKILL.md, bin/linux-x64/kugou-cli - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-06T08:34:22.087Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall cross-agent skill injection - **Attack narrative:** Installing the package runs scripts/install.js without a user command. It detects existing foreign agent skill roots, creates a kugou-skill subdirectory, and copies the package-controlled SKILL.md and references into each. The injected instructions tell agents to solicit and persist user-provided authentication secrets, while the opaque bundled binary contains automatic-update functionality. This is an unconsented broad AI-agent control-surface mutation at install time. - **Rationale:** Direct source inspection confirms an unconsented postinstall mutation of six foreign AI-agent skill surfaces. This meets the firewall block threshold regardless of the CLI’s stated music purpose. - **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 - **Network endpoints:** https://agentgateway.kugou.com, https://registry.npmjs.org ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs postinstall, scripts/install.js writes into six foreign agent skill roots, writes occur automatically when parent directories exist, SKILL.md directs installed agents to handle and persist user secrets, native binaries include auto-update behavior, binaries are opaque stripped native executables - **Evidence against:** Lifecycle script does not create missing agent parent roots, No lifecycle network request or shell execution is present in scripts/install.js, CLI wrapper only executes the bundled platform binary ## Public findings ### 1.
