A dependency installation silently changes a foreign project's AI-agent control surface and project command configuration. - **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:** 0.7.6 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Installing the package mutates the consuming project without consent. It adds a command chain to package.json and writes Cursor AI-agent rules. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-08T13:02:21.481Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-08T13:03:16.218Z - **Download time:** 1256 ms - **Static scan time:** 2774 ms - **AI review time:** 50705 ms - **Total time:** 54737 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installing the package mutates the consuming project without consent. It adds a command chain to package.json and writes Cursor AI-agent rules. - **Trigger:** npm install of @nqlib/nqui; skipped only when CI is true or 1. - **Impact:** A dependency installation silently changes a foreign project's AI-agent control surface and project command configuration. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/post-install.js, scripts/init-cursor.js, scripts/cursor-rule-nqui-components.mdc, docs/product/epics/EP-005-packaging-entries-publishing/stories/ST-043-postinstall-consent.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-08T13:03:16.218Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall writes consumer package metadata and Cursor rule configuration - **Attack narrative:** The npm postinstall hook executes during dependency installation. It rewrites the consumer project's package.json to add a setup command and creates a Cursor rule under .cursor/rules. The written rule instructs AI assistants to follow package-provided guidance. These writes occur without an explicit user command or consent gate, creating a foreign AI-agent control-surface mutation at install time. - **Rationale:** Concrete source shows unconsented postinstall mutation of a consuming project's package.json and Cursor rules. This meets the firewall block policy regardless of the absence of network exfiltration. - **Files touched:** package.json, .cursor/rules/nqui-components.mdc ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs scripts/post-install.js as postinstall., scripts/post-install.js unconditionally rewrites the consumer package.json to add nqui:init., post-install calls writeCursorRule(targetDir) outside any user-command or consent gate., scripts/init-cursor.js writes .cursor/rules/nqui-components.mdc, an AI-agent behavior rule., The shipped rule directs AI assistants to load package-controlled setup/component guidance., docs/product/epics/EP-005-packaging-entries-publishing/stories/ST-043-postinstall-consent.md confirms this silent mutation is unimplemented. - **Evidence against:** No credential harvesting, exfiltration, or network client was found in install-time scripts., README.md discloses the postinstall mutations; the scanner's reviewer-manipulation claim was not confirmed. ## Public findings ### 1.
