Installs agent-facing instructions without explicit user invocation or consent during package installation. - **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:** 0.11.4 - **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. Although the CLI runtime behavior is largely aligned with LSP/refactoring functionality, the unguarded install-time write into ~/.claude/skills matches the policy for unconsented lifecycle mutation of a foreign AI-agent control surface. No additional exfiltration or remote payload behavior is needed for this block decision. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-05T01:28:10.218Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-05T01:28:42.629Z - **Download time:** 760 ms - **Static scan time:** 164 ms - **AI review time:** 31486 ms - **Total time:** 32411 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** The package has an npm postinstall hook that unconditionally installs package-supplied Claude skill files into the user's home directory. This is lifecycle-triggered mutation of a foreign AI-agent control surface. - **Trigger:** npm install of @lsproxy/cli@0.11.4 - **Impact:** Installs agent-facing instructions without explicit user invocation or consent during package installation. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, skillit-postinstall.cjs, skills/lsproxy-cli/SKILL.md, dist/connect.js, dist/session.js, dist/config/adapters/claude-code.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-05T01:28:42.629Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall copies packaged Claude skill directory to ~/.claude/skills - **Attack narrative:** On install, npm runs skillit-postinstall.cjs. The script reads package metadata, rewrites markdown under the packaged skills directory, creates ~/.claude/skills, and recursively copies each packaged skill directory there. That places package-supplied instructions into Claude's user-level skill surface without an explicit CLI command. - **Rationale:** Although the CLI runtime behavior is largely aligned with LSP/refactoring functionality, the unguarded install-time write into ~/.claude/skills matches the policy for unconsented lifecycle mutation of a foreign AI-agent control surface. No additional exfiltration or remote payload behavior is needed for this block decision. - **Files touched:** skillit-postinstall.cjs, skills/lsproxy-cli/\*\*, ~/.claude/skills/lsproxy-cli/\*\* ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** package.json defines postinstall: node ./skillit-postinstall.cjs, skillit-postinstall.cjs runs at install time and copies packaged skills into os.homedir()/.claude/skills, skills/lsproxy-cli/SKILL.md is package-supplied Claude skill content for invoking lsproxy commands, skillit-postinstall.cjs mutates packaged .md files before copying them - **Evidence against:** No credential harvesting or exfiltration endpoints found in inspected source, dist/connect.js daemon behavior is user-invoked CLI/proxy functionality, dist/session.js child\_process spawn runs user-selected language server commands during CLI use, Config adapter writes are exposed through explicit lsproxy config commands ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @lsproxy/cli@0.11.4. - Avoid installing @lsproxy/cli@0.11.4. 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.
