It injects this package's skill instructions into each detected agent environment. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-11T01:14:30.894Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-11T01:15:00.516Z - **Download time:** 1259 ms - **Static scan time:** 160 ms - **AI review time:** 28202 ms - **Total time:** 29622 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** npm postinstall silently mutates multiple installed AI-agent skill control surfaces. It injects this package's skill instructions into each detected agent environment. - **Trigger:** npm installation, including global installation - **Impact:** Unconsented persistence of package-controlled instructions across multiple AI-agent environments. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install.js, scripts/run.js, SKILL.md, references/install.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-11T01:15:00.516Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall cross-agent skill-file deployment - **Attack narrative:** On installation, the postinstall script detects several unrelated AI-agent skill directories and writes SKILL.md plus reference documents into all that exist. This creates persistent, unconsented control-surface changes across agent products without an explicit user command. - **Rationale:** The lifecycle hook performs automatic cross-agent configuration mutation, meeting the block boundary for a foreign/broad AI-agent control surface. No exfiltration was confirmed, but it is not required for this concrete install-time hijack behavior. - **Files touched:** scripts/install.js, SKILL.md, references/\*.md, bin/kugou-cli, ~/.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:** package.json runs scripts/install.js as postinstall., scripts/install.js writes SKILL.md and references into six AI-agent skill roots under the user home., Writes occur automatically when each foreign agent’s skills parent directory exists., Targets include ~/.claude, ~/.openclaw, ~/.codex, ~/.mavis, ~/.hermes, and ~/.workbuddy. - **Evidence against:** Installer does not create absent agent parent directories., Reviewed JavaScript contains no credential harvesting or network request., run.js only launches the packaged platform binary with user arguments. ## Public findings ### 1.
