Unconsented mutation of .agents, Claude, Codex, or OpenClaw skill control surfaces. - **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:** 0.7.13 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. A global-install postinstall automatically installs the bundled clawclaw agent skill. It discovers and backs up/replaces skill targets spanning multiple unrelated AI-agent control surfaces. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-12T12:35:54.985Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-12T12:36:54.630Z - **Download time:** 761 ms - **Static scan time:** 3158 ms - **AI review time:** 55725 ms - **Total time:** 59645 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** A global-install postinstall automatically installs the bundled clawclaw agent skill. It discovers and backs up/replaces skill targets spanning multiple unrelated AI-agent control surfaces. - **Trigger:** npm global installation of @myclaw163/clawclaw-cli - **Impact:** Unconsented mutation of .agents, Claude, Codex, or OpenClaw skill control surfaces. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, scripts/sync-bundled-skill.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-12T12:36:54.630Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall invokes a noninteractive global skill installer - **Attack narrative:** During a global npm install, the lifecycle hook calls syncBundledSkill without user confirmation. That routine identifies existing clawclaw skill directories across generic agent, Claude, Codex, and OpenClaw locations, backs up differing content, then runs the skills CLI with -y -g to install the bundled skill. This is automatic mutation of foreign and broad AI-agent control surfaces. - **Rationale:** Source inspection confirms the policy-defined blocking condition: an unconsented postinstall mutates multiple foreign/broad AI-agent skill locations. The opt-out environment variable does not make the default lifecycle action consented. - **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, scripts/sync-bundled-skill.mjs, skills/clawclaw/, ~/.agents/skills/clawclaw, ~/.claude/skills/clawclaw, ~/.codex/skills/clawclaw, ~/.openclaw/skills/clawclaw ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs postinstall., Postinstall runs on global npm installs without an interactive prompt., Sync targets .agents, Claude, Codex, and OpenClaw skill locations., Sync invokes skills add -y -g for the bundled skill. - **Evidence against:** Postinstall is limited to global installs and has an environment opt-out., No install-time network request or credential exfiltration was found. ## Public findings ### 1.
