Adds package-controlled instructions to multiple agent environments and alters existing skill directories. - **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:** 0.5.11 - **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. The postinstall hook installs a bundled skill into detected AI-agent control directories without user action. It can overwrite the skill directory and remove files within it. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-07T11:09:40.555Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-07T11:10:32.071Z - **Download time:** 765 ms - **Static scan time:** 2273 ms - **AI review time:** 48477 ms - **Total time:** 51516 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:** The postinstall hook installs a bundled skill into detected AI-agent control directories without user action. It can overwrite the skill directory and remove files within it. - **Trigger:** npm package installation - **Impact:** Adds package-controlled instructions to multiple agent environments and alters existing skill directories. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, scripts/skill-agent.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-07T11:10:32.071Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic broad AI-agent skill installation and replacement - **Attack narrative:** Installing the package invokes postinstall. That code detects installed AI agents, selects a fallback even when none are found, always includes a universal agents directory, and copies its bundled skill into global or project control directories. The copy operation also removes target files not present in the new source. This is unconsented install-time mutation of broad, foreign AI-agent control surfaces. - **Rationale:** The automatic postinstall hook mutates numerous third-party AI-agent skill locations, including an unconditional universal fallback. This meets the blocking policy for unconsented broad AI-agent control-surface writes. - **Files touched:** skills/qzhuli-cli, ~/.claude/skills/qzhuli-cli, ~/.codex/skills/qzhuli-cli, ~/.agents/skills/qzhuli-cli ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** Installation automatically runs a skill installer., The installer targets many unrelated AI-agent global and project skill directories., It always adds a universal agents skill target and copies the bundled skill there., Its copy routine deletes target files absent from the source. - **Evidence against:** No lifecycle network request or credential exfiltration was found., The bundled CLI's service endpoints are used by user-invoked commands, not the installer. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @qzhuli/qzhuli-cli@0.5.11. - Avoid installing @qzhuli/qzhuli-cli@0.5.11. 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.
