Installation can alter project and user-level AI-agent instructions and server configuration without a separate 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:** 2.4.1 - **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. The postinstall hook automatically runs setup, which writes agent instruction files and MCP configuration across detected coding tools, including user-level Codex configuration. This is an unconsented install-time mutation of AI-agent control surfaces, so the package should be blocked. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 95.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-09T10:06:40.023Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-09T10:07:43.299Z - **Download time:** 1511 ms - **Static scan time:** 13256 ms - **AI review time:** 48506 ms - **Total time:** 63276 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 install hook automatically configures detected AI coding tools for this package. It writes project-level agent files and can add an MCP server to the user-level Codex configuration. - **Trigger:** Installing the package with its postinstall hook enabled; setup can be skipped with RFDUI\_SKIP\_SETUP. - **Impact:** Installation can alter project and user-level AI-agent instructions and server configuration without a separate setup command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, dist/mcp/installers/setup.js, dist/mcp/installers/codex.js, dist/mcp/installers/claude.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-09T10:07:43.299Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook runs the package’s setup command from the consumer’s project directory. Setup writes shared skill files and invokes installers for detected coding tools, including Codex configuration under the user’s home directory. - **Attack narrative:** During package installation, the postinstall hook launches setup in the consumer’s project. Setup writes shared AI-tool skill files and configures detected agents; the Codex installer can modify the user-level Codex configuration. This creates an automatic install-time change to project and user AI-agent control surfaces. - **Rationale:** The postinstall hook automatically runs setup, which writes agent instruction files and MCP configuration across detected coding tools, including user-level Codex configuration. This is an unconsented install-time mutation of AI-agent control surfaces, so the package should be blocked. - **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, dist/mcp/installers/setup.js, dist/mcp/installers/codex.js, dist/mcp/installers/claude.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** The package runs a postinstall script that launches its setup command in the consumer project., Setup writes shared AI-tool skill files and installs configuration for detected coding agents., The Codex installer adds this package’s MCP server to the user-level Codex configuration., The Claude installer writes MCP configuration and skill files into the consumer project. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @rfdtech/components@2.4.1. - Avoid installing @rfdtech/components@2.4.1. 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.
