Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. LPM treats this as warn-only first-party agent extension lifecycle risk. Postinstall conditionally refreshes a pre-existing Claude Code workflow directory in NextSpark projects. It copies package-owned AI-agent instructions and overwrites designated managed files. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-09T16:11:19.082Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-09T16:12:34.190Z - **Download time:** 1016 ms - **Static scan time:** 104 ms - **AI review time:** 73988 ms - **Total time:** 75108 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:** Postinstall conditionally refreshes a pre-existing Claude Code workflow directory in NextSpark projects. It copies package-owned AI-agent instructions and overwrites designated managed files. - **Trigger:** npm install/update when the consumer has a NextSpark dependency and existing .claude directory - **Impact:** Changes Claude Code agent instructions and workflow files in the consumer project. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, scripts/setup.mjs, README.md, claude/skills/nextjs-api-development/scripts/generate-crud-tests.py - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-09T16:12:34.190Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** guarded lifecycle sync of first-party AI workflow templates - **Rationale:** This is a documented, guarded first-party AI-agent extension lifecycle mutation, not concrete malware. It merits a warning because an install-time hook modifies an AI-agent control surface and overwrites managed instructions. - **Files touched:** .claude/agents/\*\*, .claude/commands/\*\*, .claude/skills/\*\*, .claude/templates/\*\*, .claude/workflows/\*\*, .claude/\_docs/\*\*, .claude/config/\*.schema.json, .claude/sessions/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** package.json defines postinstall., scripts/postinstall.mjs invokes setup during install in guarded projects., scripts/setup.mjs overwrites managed .claude agents, commands, skills, templates, workflows, and docs., Generated CRUD-test template includes a hard-coded test API-key fallback. - **Evidence against:** Postinstall requires a NextSpark dependency and an existing .claude directory., No lifecycle network, credential-harvesting, or remote-payload code was found., README.md documents the opt-in setup and update sync behavior. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @nextsparkjs/ai-workflow@0.1.0-beta.184. - Review the evidence and your use of @nextsparkjs/ai-workflow@0.1.0-beta.184 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
