Package content gains automatic presence in multiple agent skill directories and can cause later global installation of the package. - **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:** 0.5.14 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **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. Installing the package silently modifies several AI-agent skill control surfaces. It deletes and replaces the lj-awb skill directory in Codex, Claude, and cc-switch locations. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-11T10:35:13.221Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-11T10:36:12.712Z - **Download time:** 1028 ms - **Static scan time:** 1449 ms - **AI review time:** 57012 ms - **Total time:** 59491 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

It deletes and replaces the lj-awb skill directory in Codex, Claude, and cc-switch locations. - **Trigger:** npm installation invokes the postinstall lifecycle hook. - **Impact:** Package content gains automatic presence in multiple agent skill directories and can cause later global installation of the package. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, install.mjs, skills/lj-awb/scripts/resolve-lj-awb-cmd.sh - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-11T10:36:12.712Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic cross-agent skill replacement and nested global package installation. - **Attack narrative:** On npm install, postinstall runs install.mjs without a user command. It deletes and replaces lj-awb skill directories for cc-switch, Codex, and Claude. The copied skill's resolver defaults to npm install -g of this package when invoked and the CLI is absent. This creates an unconsented cross-agent control-surface installation chain. - **Rationale:** This is an automatic postinstall mutation of foreign AI-agent control surfaces, including destructive replacement of existing skill directories. The later skill resolver also performs package installation by default. - **Files touched:** install.mjs, skills/lj-awb, ~/.cc-switch/skills/lj-awb, $CODEX\_HOME/skills/lj-awb, ~/.claude/skills/lj-awb ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** The install lifecycle automatically runs install.mjs., The installer targets Codex, Claude, and cc-switch skill locations when no target is explicitly set., It recursively deletes each target skill directory and replaces it with package-supplied content., The installed skill defaults to globally installing this package when the CLI is missing. - **Evidence against:** The install script contains no network request or credential collection., The manifest has no declared dependency on its own package name. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @lingjingai/lj-awb-cli@0.5.14. - Avoid installing @lingjingai/lj-awb-cli@0.5.14. 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.
