AI Security Review

scanned 10d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. An npm postinstall hook modifies AI-agent skill locations without an explicit user command. It removes existing skill directories and copies the package skill bundle into locations for several agent products.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

Installing the package through npm.

Impact

This can overwrite AI-agent control-surface content across Codex, Claude, and cc-switch installations.

Mechanism

The postinstall script selects default AI-agent skill paths, recursively removes each target, then copies its bundled skill files there.

Policy narrative

On installation, the package automatically invokes install.mjs. Unless an environment variable changes the destination, it selects several AI-agent skill directories, including Codex and Claude locations. For each target it recursively deletes the existing directory and copies its own skill bundle. This is unconsented postinstall mutation of a broad, foreign AI-agent control surface.

AI rationale

The automatic lifecycle hook overwrites multiple AI-agent skill locations, including foreign product directories. This meets the install-control-surface block condition.
