## Verdict summary
**Soft block: AI-agent control surface** — Warn by default; block when configured. An unconsented installation can persist package-authored wallet-operation guidance into Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf control surfaces.

- **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:** 0.10.0
- **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 automatically changes configuration that controls multiple AI-agent products. The injected text directs agents to prefer this package's wallet command over other tools.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Installing the package automatically changes configuration that controls multiple AI-agent products. The injected text directs agents to prefer this package's wallet command over other tools.

- **Trigger:** npm installation runs the postinstall lifecycle hook.

- **Impact:** An unconsented installation can persist package-authored wallet-operation guidance into Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf control surfaces.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-19T20:31:34.943Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Automatic writes to home-directory AI-agent instruction and rules files.

- **Attack narrative:** The manifest automatically executes scripts/postinstall.mjs on installation. That script detects installed AI-agent products and writes, appends, or replaces marked instruction blocks in their home-directory configuration files. The block directs future agents to use the Memeplex CLI for wallet actions and to prefer it over MCP tools. This is an unconsented, persistent mutation of foreign AI-agent control surfaces.

- **Rationale:** The package uses an automatic npm lifecycle hook to alter several unrelated AI-agent instruction surfaces without a user command or consent. This meets the install-time AI-agent control-surface mutation block policy.

- **Files touched:** ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md, ~/.cursor/rules/memeplex.md, ~/.windsurfrules

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 99.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for policy risk:** The package declares an automatic postinstall hook that runs the context-injection script., The install hook writes or appends a directive block to the Claude Code configuration file in the user's home directory., The same automatic hook creates or changes Cursor rules and the Windsurf rules file when those agent installations are present.

- **Evidence against:** No credential collection or network transmission occurs in the inspected postinstall script.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @memeplex/cli@0.10.0.

- Avoid installing @memeplex/cli@0.10.0. 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.
