Adds a package-controlled MCP server and instructions to detected AI tools without an explicit setup command. - **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:** 2.3.0 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. An npm postinstall silently runs AI-tool setup in the consuming project. It writes project AI instructions/configuration and a user-wide Codex MCP configuration when detected. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-21T09:20:08.183Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-21T09:21:07.538Z - **Download time:** 760 ms - **Static scan time:** 15560 ms - **AI review time:** 43032 ms - **Total time:** 59355 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** An npm postinstall silently runs AI-tool setup in the consuming project. It writes project AI instructions/configuration and a user-wide Codex MCP configuration when detected. - **Trigger:** npm install of @rfdtech/components - **Impact:** Adds a package-controlled MCP server and instructions to detected AI tools without an explicit setup command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, dist/mcp/installers/setup.js, dist/mcp/installers/claude.js, dist/mcp/installers/cursor.js, dist/mcp/installers/codex.js, dist/mcp/installers/opencode.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-21T09:21:07.538Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall launches a setup CLI that mutates AI-agent configuration surfaces - **Attack narrative:** Installing the dependency executes its postinstall, which launches \`rfdui setup\` in the consuming project. Setup writes AI skill documents even without a detected tool, then modifies configurations for detected Claude, Cursor, Codex, and OpenCode installations. The Codex path is user-wide (\`~/.codex/config.toml\`), so an npm dependency install mutates a foreign, broad AI-agent control surface and registers its MCP server without explicit user setup. - **Rationale:** This is concrete, unconsented postinstall mutation of project and user-wide AI-agent control surfaces. It meets the firewall block policy despite no observed exfiltration or remote payload download. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.mjs, dist/mcp/installers/setup.js, dist/mcp/installers/claude.js, dist/mcp/installers/cursor.js, dist/mcp/installers/codex.js, dist/mcp/installers/opencode.js, .ai/SKILL.md, .ai/image-to-components.md, .mcp.json, .claude/skills/rfdtech-ui/SKILL.md, .cursor/mcp.json, .cursor/rules/rfdtech-ui.mdc, ~/.codex/config.toml, opencode.json, AGENTS.md ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** postinstall automatically invokes the setup CLI in the consumer project., Setup creates cross-tool AI skill files and configures detected Claude, Cursor, Codex, and OpenCode installations., Codex installer appends an MCP server to the user-wide ~/.codex/config.toml., OpenCode installer writes an enabled MCP configuration and modifies AGENTS.md. - **Evidence against:** No credential harvesting, network requests, or remote payload download was found in the inspected lifecycle and installer code., The mutation is branded and idempotent, but it is still initiated automatically at dependency install time. ## Public findings ### 1. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Package defines install-time lifecycle scripts. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json scripts.postinstall = node scripts/postinstall.mjs ``` ### 2. Medium: Ambiguous Install Lifecycle Script - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 75.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Install-time lifecycle script is not statically allowlisted and needs review. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json scripts.postinstall = node scripts/postinstall.mjs ``` ### 3. Low: Non Install Lifecycle Scripts - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 80.0% Package declares lifecycle scripts that are not normally run for registry tarball installs. ### 4. Low: Scripts Present - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 100.0% Package declares npm scripts. ### 5. Medium: Dynamic Require - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 75.0% - **Path:** dist/next.cjs - **Public source:** [View source]() Package source references dynamic require/import behavior. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript L1: "use strict";require('./next.css');var dm=Object.create;var Oo=Object.defineProperty;var um=Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor;var hm=Object.getOwnPropertyNames;var fm=Object.getProto... L2: react-router-dom: import from '@rfdtech/components' ``` ### 6. Medium: Environment Vars - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 75.0% Package source references environment variables. ### 7. Low: Filesystem - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 70.0% Package source references filesystem APIs. ### 8. Low: High Entropy Strings - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 55.0% Package source contains high-entropy string patterns. ### 9. Low: Url Strings - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 65.0% Package source contains URL literals. ### 10. Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review - **Category:** Artifact Inventory - **Confidence:** 100.0% Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean. ### 11. High: Suspicious Lifecycle Evidence - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Path:** scripts/postinstall.mjs - **Public source:** [View source]() postinstall automatically invokes the setup CLI in the consumer project. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript // npm sets INIT_CWD to the directory the top-level `npm install` was run // from. process.cwd() during a dependency's postinstall is the package's // own folder inside node_modules — the wrong place to write .claude/, // .cursor/, etc. Always target the consumer's actual project root. const targetDir = process.env.INIT_CWD || process.cwd(); try { spawnSync(process.execPath, [cliPath, "setup"], { cwd: targetDir, stdio: "inherit", }); ``` ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** Yes - **Published lifecycle scripts:** postinstall, prepare, prepublishOnly - **Dependencies:** 13 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 17 - **Development dependencies:** 43 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 30 ### Published dependency entries - @dnd-kit/core ^6.3.1 (Dependency) - @dnd-kit/sortable ^10.0.0 (Dependency) - @dnd-kit/utilities ^3.2.2 (Dependency) - @fontsource/lato ^5.3.0 (Dependency) - @fontsource/roboto-serif ^5.3.0 (Dependency) - @modelcontextprotocol/sdk ^1.30.0 (Dependency) - @tanstack/react-virtual ^3.14.9 (Dependency) - cmdk ^1.1.1 (Dependency) - country-flag-icons ^1.6.20 (Dependency) - libphonenumber-js ^1.13.11 (Dependency) - lottie-react ^2.4.1 (Dependency) - sonner ^2.0.8 (Dependency) - zod ^4.4.3 (Dependency) - @hookform/resolvers \>=3.0.0 (PeerDependency) - @radix-ui/react-alert-dialog ^1.1.0 (PeerDependency) - @radix-ui/react-checkbox ^1.3.0 (PeerDependency) - @radix-ui/react-dialog ^1.1.0 (PeerDependency) - @radix-ui/react-popover ^1.1.0 (PeerDependency) - @radix-ui/react-radio-group ^1.4.0 (PeerDependency) - @radix-ui/react-select ^2.3.0 (PeerDependency) - @radix-ui/react-switch ^1.2.0 (PeerDependency) - @radix-ui/react-tabs ^1.1.0 (PeerDependency) - lucide-react \>=1.0.0 (PeerDependency) - next \>=14.0.0 (PeerDependency) - react \>=18.0.0 (PeerDependency) - react-dom \>=18.0.0 (PeerDependency) - react-hook-form \>=7.0.0 (PeerDependency) - react-router-dom \>=7.0.0 (PeerDependency) - xlsx \>=0.18.5 (PeerDependency) - zod \>=3.0.0 (PeerDependency) ## Package metadata - **Package:** @rfdtech/components - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 2.3.0 - **License:** MIT - **Version published:** 2026-08-19T22:58:09.060Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-07-05T09:55:29.672Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-08-21T09:21:07.538Z - **Known versions:** 3 - **Latest version:** 2.3.0 - **Appeal under review:** No - **Description:** Shared React component library for Clet projects - **Keywords:** react, components, gsl, clet, app-switcher, app-launcher, google-apps, product-switcher - **Artifact files:** 675 - **Artifact unpacked size:** 8,818,374 bytes - **Artifact signatures:** 1 - **Attestations:** No ## References - [HTML security report]()
