## Verdict summary
**Soft block: AI-agent control surface** — Warn by default; block when configured. Persistent unconsented AI-agent control-surface mutation

- **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:** 0.57.1
- **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 silently installs and overwrites an agent skill in three user-level AI-agent control surfaces. This changes Claude, generic agents, and Codex behavior without an explicit setup command.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** npm postinstall silently installs and overwrites an agent skill in three user-level AI-agent control surfaces. This changes Claude, generic agents, and Codex behavior without an explicit setup command.

- **Trigger:** npm installation, including transitive installation when lifecycle scripts run

- **Impact:** Persistent unconsented AI-agent control-surface mutation

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install-skill.mjs, skills/scriptctl/SKILL.md, dist/infra/llm/gemini-video-model.js, dist/infra/script-output-api.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-08T12:41:34.179Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** postinstall copies bundled agent instructions into foreign user skill directories

- **Attack narrative:** Installing the package invokes scripts/install-skill.mjs automatically. It deletes and replaces ~/.claude/skills/scriptctl, ~/.agents/skills/scriptctl, and ~/.codex/skills/scriptctl with a bundled SKILL.md, thereby persistently injecting package-authored operating instructions into multiple agent platforms without an explicit user setup action.

- **Rationale:** The install hook performs unconsented mutation of broad, foreign AI-agent skill control surfaces. This meets the blocking policy even though the inspected installer shows no separate exfiltration chain.

- **Files touched:** scripts/install-skill.mjs, skills/scriptctl/SKILL.md, ~/.claude/skills/scriptctl, ~/.agents/skills/scriptctl, ~/.codex/skills/scriptctl

### 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-skill.mjs as postinstall., scripts/install-skill.mjs targets ~/.claude/skills, ~/.agents/skills, and ~/.codex/skills., Postinstall force-removes each target scriptctl directory, then copies its bundled skill., Bundled skills/scriptctl/SKILL.md provides agent instructions and CLI workflows.

- **Evidence against:** Installer has an environment-variable opt-out., Installer only writes its named scriptctl subdirectory and shows no network or credential exfiltration., Runtime LLM/API networking is tied to user-invoked CLI workflows and configured endpoints.

## Public findings

### 1. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@lingjingai/scriptctl@0.57.1/package.json>)

Package defines install-time lifecycle scripts.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```json
scripts.postinstall = node scripts/install-skill.mjs
```

### 2. Low: Non Install Lifecycle Scripts
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 80.0%

Package declares lifecycle scripts that are not normally run for registry tarball installs.

### 3. Low: Scripts Present
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

Package declares npm scripts.

### 4. Medium: Dynamic Require
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 75.0%
- **Path:** dist/infra/llm/gemini-video-model.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@lingjingai/scriptctl@0.57.1/dist/infra/llm/gemini-video-model.js>)

Package source references dynamic require/import behavior.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L280: // actually exercised (keeps text-only runs free of @google/genai).
L281: const require = createRequire(import.meta.url);
L282: function createGoogleClient(apiKey, timeoutMs, baseUrl) {
```

### 5. Medium: Network
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 75.0%

Package source references network APIs.

### 6. Medium: Environment Vars
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 75.0%

Package source references environment variables.

### 7. Low: Filesystem
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 70.0%

Package source references filesystem APIs.

### 8. Critical: Ai Agent Control Hijack
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** scripts/install-skill.mjs
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@lingjingai/scriptctl@0.57.1/scripts/install-skill.mjs>)

Source creates an unconsented AI-agent control surface through install-time mutation or a default unauthenticated remote skill channel.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L22: const TARGET_SKILL_ROOTS = [
L23: path.join(".claude", "skills"),
L24: path.join(".agents", "skills"),
L25: path.join(".codex", "skills"),
L26: ];
...
L58: const stamped = text.replace(/^(\s+)scriptctl_version:.*$/m, `$1scriptctl_version: "${version}"`);
L59: fs.writeFileSync(skillMdPath, stamped, "utf-8");
L60: } catch {
...
L67: fs.rmSync(target, { recursive: true, force: true });
L68: fs.mkdirSync(path.dirname(target), { recursive: true });
L69: fs.cpSync(skillSrc, target, { recursive: true });
L70: stampVersion(path.join(target, "SKILL.md"), version);
```

### 9. Low: High Entropy Strings
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 55.0%

Package source contains high-entropy string patterns.

- **Confidence:** 65.0%

Package source contains URL literals.

### 11. Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review
- **Category:** Artifact Inventory
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean.
