The package gains automatic control over skills loaded by Codex, Claude, OpenClaw, and a shared agent directory. - **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:** 0.8.14 - **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 plants the bundled skill into multiple AI-agent skill surfaces. It can replace existing symlinked skill targets without an explicit setup command. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-05T08:47:00.388Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-05T08:47:58.005Z - **Download time:** 1016 ms - **Static scan time:** 3072 ms - **AI review time:** 53529 ms - **Total time:** 57617 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** A global npm installation automatically plants the bundled skill into multiple AI-agent skill surfaces. It can replace existing symlinked skill targets without an explicit setup command. - **Trigger:** Installing the package globally through npm while an active ClawClaw profile exists. - **Impact:** The package gains automatic control over skills loaded by Codex, Claude, OpenClaw, and a shared agent directory. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, scripts/sync-bundled-skill.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-05T08:47:58.005Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Postinstall copies a bundled skill and links it into agent skill directories. - **Attack narrative:** On global installation, npm runs the postinstall hook automatically. When an active ClawClaw profile is available, the hook copies the bundled skill to its workspace and creates or replaces links in shared, Claude, Codex, and OpenClaw skill directories. This mutates broad foreign AI-agent control surfaces without an explicit user setup action. - **Rationale:** The automatic global-install hook writes package-controlled skill content into several foreign AI-agent skill locations. That is unconsented broad control-surface mutation, even though this path shows no network exfiltration. - **Files touched:** 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:** The package registers an automatic postinstall hook., The hook runs for global installation and calls the skill synchronizer without user confirmation., The synchronizer targets skill directories for several unrelated agent platforms, including Codex and Claude., It replaces a canonical skill directory and creates or replaces platform-facing symlinks. - **Evidence against:** The install hook does nothing for non-global installs., The synchronizer stops when no active ClawClaw profile is present., No network request or self-dependency is involved in this install-time path. ## Public findings ### 1.
