These changes affect future agent sessions without a user invoking setup. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall during package installation - **Impact:** Changes the control instructions available to Claude Code, Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI in later sessions. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-05T04:24:39.936Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Silent setup writes global agent guidance and skills - **Attack narrative:** A normal npm installation invokes scripts/postinstall.mjs, which runs kordis setup with --silent. The setup code detects global AI-agent directories and writes or updates their instruction files and bundled skill directories. Because this happens automatically during installation and changes foreign, broad agent control surfaces for future sessions, it is an unconsented install-hook control hijack. - **Rationale:** The automatic lifecycle chain silently mutates global instruction surfaces for multiple AI-agent products. This meets the install-control-surface blocking policy regardless of the absence of confirmed credential theft. - **Files touched:** ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md, ~/.codex/AGENTS.md, ~/.gemini/GEMINI.md, ~/.claude/skills, ~/.codex/skills, ~/.gemini/skills ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The package automatically runs a postinstall script., That script launches setup silently during installation., Setup writes bundled guidance into global Claude Code, Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI instruction and skill paths without an install-time consent prompt. - **Evidence against:** No credential collection or network request occurs in the postinstall script itself., The setup command limits writes to detected supported-agent directories and uses identifiable markers. ## Public findings ### 1.

High: Credential Redirect Persistence - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Path:** dist/index.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Manifest-reachable source sends a prompted API credential to a fixed unofficial gateway and persists the redirection. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript Manifest-reachable source captures an API credential, sends it to a fixed unofficial gateway, and persists that redirection in agent or shell configuration. dist/index.js: // merges the hooks section into `.claude/settings.json` target: ".claude/settings.json" // `mcpToCodex` merges `.codex/config.toml` (`:103-109`), `mcpToContinue` target: ".codex/config.toml" // still knows how to write `.claude/judgments/.md`, and it is kept. baseUrl; this.baseUrl = config.baseUrl.replace(/\/$/, ""); if (token) headers.authorization = `Bearer ${token}`; ``` ### 9.
