The package can make its instructions available to multiple agent hosts automatically. - **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:** 0.8.13 - **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 npm installation automatically installs the bundled skill into several AI-agent skill locations. This mutates shared Claude, Codex, OpenClaw, and generic agent control surfaces without an explicit setup command. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 97.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-01T10:56:42.502Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-01T10:57:50.300Z - **Download time:** 754 ms - **Static scan time:** 3054 ms - **AI review time:** 63990 ms - **Total time:** 67798 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** A global npm installation automatically installs the bundled skill into several AI-agent skill locations. This mutates shared Claude, Codex, OpenClaw, and generic agent control surfaces without an explicit setup command. - **Trigger:** Global npm installation while an active ClawClaw account is present. - **Impact:** The package can make its instructions available to multiple agent hosts automatically. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, scripts/sync-bundled-skill.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-01T10:57:50.300Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Postinstall copies and symlinks a bundled agent skill into host skill directories. - **Attack narrative:** Installing this package globally runs postinstall. If an active account exists, the package copies its bundled skill into its account workspace and links that skill into generic agent, Claude, Codex, and OpenClaw skill directories. This automatically alters several host agent instruction surfaces rather than requiring a user-invoked setup action. - **Rationale:** The automatic global postinstall mutation of multiple foreign or shared AI-agent skill surfaces is a concrete install-hook abuse. No exfiltration is needed for this policy outcome. - **Files touched:** skills/clawclaw, ~/.agents/skills/clawclaw, ~/.claude/skills/clawclaw, ~/.codex/skills/clawclaw, ~/.openclaw/skills/clawclaw ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 97.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The manifest runs a postinstall script automatically., Postinstall invokes bundled-skill synchronization on global installs., The synchronizer targets shared agent, Claude, Codex, and OpenClaw skill directories., It copies the package skill and creates links into those foreign agent control surfaces. - **Evidence against:** The automatic path is limited to global installs and skips without an active account., The installer contains no network request or self-dependency., No credential exfiltration was found in the inspected install path. ## Public findings ### 1.
