Unconsented modification of broad global or project AI-agent control surfaces. - **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:** 0.5.10 - **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. npm installation automatically installs and updates a bundled skill in foreign AI-agent control directories. It can create directories and delete stale files in those skill locations. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-06T05:48:36.808Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-06T05:49:26.923Z - **Download time:** 755 ms - **Static scan time:** 2379 ms - **AI review time:** 46980 ms - **Total time:** 50115 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:** npm installation automatically installs and updates a bundled skill in foreign AI-agent control directories. It can create directories and delete stale files in those skill locations. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall - **Impact:** Unconsented modification of broad global or project AI-agent control surfaces. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, scripts/skill-agent.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-06T05:49:26.923Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic cross-agent skill installation and replacement - **Attack narrative:** Installing the package invokes postinstall without a user command. The script detects numerous AI-agent installations, defaults to Claude Code when none are found, always includes a generic agents directory, and copies its bundled skill there. Its copy routine removes destination entries that are no longer present in the package before writing the replacement content. This is an unconsented install-time mutation of foreign and broad AI-agent control surfaces. - **Rationale:** The automatic lifecycle hook modifies multiple external AI-agent skill directories, including fallback targets, rather than limiting setup to an explicit user command or package-owned location. This meets the install-control-surface blocking policy. - **Files touched:** skills/qzhuli-cli, ~/.claude/skills/qzhuli-cli, ~/.codex/skills/qzhuli-cli, ~/.agents/skills/qzhuli-cli ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** The package runs a postinstall script automatically., The installer targets global skill directories for many unrelated AI-agent products., When no agent is detected it selects Claude Code, and it always adds the generic agents directory., Skill updates delete destination files absent from the package source before copying the bundled skill. - **Evidence against:** The lifecycle installer contains no network request or subprocess execution., The CLI's network endpoints are explicit QZhuli service URLs used by invoked commands, not by postinstall. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @qzhuli/qzhuli-cli@0.5.10. - Avoid installing @qzhuli/qzhuli-cli@0.5.10. 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.
