Package content becomes available to and can influence future agent sessions without an explicit setup command. - **Verdict:** AI-agent control-surface policy finding - **Product-default install policy:** Warn by default; block when configured - **Firewall policy:** Warn by default - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Soft block: AI-agent control surface - **Selected version:** 0.16.8 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This finding concerns changes to an AI agent's instructions or configuration without explicit user action. It does not by itself establish malware intent. The CLI warns by default and blocks when configured for this policy. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Installing the package automatically changes global AI-agent command and skill directories. It can overwrite same-named Claude commands and recursively place package-controlled agent instructions and executables. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-19T16:19:30.341Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-19T16:20:21.365Z - **Download time:** 521 ms - **Static scan time:** 943 ms - **AI review time:** 49560 ms - **Total time:** 51024 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:** Installing the package automatically changes global AI-agent command and skill directories. It can overwrite same-named Claude commands and recursively place package-controlled agent instructions and executables. - **Trigger:** npm installation activates the postinstall hook. - **Impact:** Package content becomes available to and can influence future agent sessions without an explicit setup command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install.js, .claude/skills/yzsgo-e2e/bootstrap.py - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-19T16:20:21.365Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic recursive copying into global Claude and Codex agent control surfaces. - **Attack narrative:** On npm installation, the postinstall script creates and writes to global Claude directories, copying all packaged commands and skills, and recursively installs Codex skills. This is an unconsented mutation of broad AI-agent control surfaces rather than an explicit user-invoked setup action. Installed content includes a bootstrap utility capable of installing software and launching a browser when later invoked. - **Rationale:** The automatic postinstall hook broadly mutates foreign AI-agent configuration and instruction locations. This meets the install-control-surface blocking policy regardless of the package's operational tooling purpose. - **Files touched:** scripts/install.js, .claude/commands, .claude/skills, .codex/skills, ~/.claude/commands, ~/.claude/skills, $CODEX\_HOME/skills/optima-dev ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** The manifest runs scripts/install.js automatically through postinstall., The installer targets the user's global Claude and Codex agent directories., The installer copies every packaged command and skill into global Claude directories without a user command or confirmation., The copied skill set includes a bootstrapper that can install Playwright, Chromium, and sshpass when invoked. - **Evidence against:** The bootstrapper's subprocess actions require its explicit command-line invocation; they are not run by postinstall., The inspected billing client sends OAuth credentials only to environment-selected Optima authentication URLs. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @optima-chat/dev-skills@0.16.8. - Avoid installing @optima-chat/dev-skills@0.16.8. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
