AI Security Review

scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The confirmed postinstall mutation of the host project's Cursor rules meets the blocking policy for an unconsented foreign AI-agent control-surface write. Other reviewed scripts do not mitigate that install-time behavior.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review

Trigger

npm install, pnpm install, or yarn install

Impact

Changes AI-agent behavior for the consumer project without install-time consent.

Mechanism

postinstall writes a Cursor rule into the host project

Policy narrative

The manifest runs post-install.js automatically during dependency installation. That script resolves the consumer project root, including when invoked from node_modules, and writes nqui-components.mdc under .cursor/rules. This is an unconsented install-time mutation of a foreign AI-agent control surface; no network exfiltration is needed for the policy-triggering behavior.

AI rationale

Evidence

package.jsonscripts/post-install.jsscripts/init-cursor.jsscripts/resolve-target-dir.js.cursor/rules/nqui-components.mdc

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI identified this as a dangerous AI-agent capability at 98.0% confidence with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for policy risk

Install lifecycle runs scripts/post-install.js.
Postinstall automatically writes a Cursor rule into the consumer project.
Target resolution selects the host project when running from node_modules.

Evidence against

No credential harvesting, exfiltration, or runtime network endpoint found in the install path.
Claude skill installation is an explicit CLI action, not the lifecycle hook.
