AI Security Review
scanned 24d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe automatic lifecycle chain mutates a broad AI-agent control surface and downloads current external installer code through npx. This meets the install-hook abuse blocking boundary.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
npm postinstall during package installation.
Impact
A package installation can alter broad, shared AI-agent control surfaces and fetch current external installer code without an explicit user command.
Mechanism
The lifecycle hook runs the built-in skill installer, which calls npx with skills@latest, an add command, and a global flag.
Attack narrative
The package uses postinstall to invoke an obfuscated built-in installer. That installer automatically runs an unpinned npx skills@latest command with global scope to install a Lovrabet skill into shared agent-skill locations. The action occurs without an explicit setup command and can modify multiple AI-agent environments in the user's home directory.
AI rationale
The automatic lifecycle chain mutates a broad AI-agent control surface and downloads current external installer code through npx. This meets the install-hook abuse blocking boundary.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 94.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- The package declares an automatic postinstall hook.
- The hook imports and runs the package postinstall module.
- The postinstall module installs a built-in skill.
- The installer invokes npx to add a global skill.
- The invoked command uses skills@latest and a global flag, creating an unpinned external installation chain.
Evidence against
- No credential collection or data-exfiltration behavior was identified in the inspected install chain.
