## Verdict summary
**Soft block: AI-agent control surface** — Warn by default; block when configured. Installation can modify project and global AI-agent 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:** 2.4.2
- **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 modifies consumer and global AI-agent configuration, including shared instructions and MCP settings. This meets the policy for blocking unconsented install-time mutation of a broad agent control surface.

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 package's postinstall automatically runs setup against the consumer project. Setup writes shared agent instructions and modifies detected AI tool configurations, including global Codex configuration.

- **Trigger:** Installing the package with npm when RFDUI\_SKIP\_SETUP is unset or false-like.

- **Impact:** Installation can modify project and global AI-agent configuration without a separate setup command.

- **Evidence paths:** scripts/postinstall.mjs, dist/mcp/installers/setup.js, dist/mcp/installers/codex.js, dist/mcp/installers/claude.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-09T10:07:58.006Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The postinstall runs the package CLI's setup command in INIT\_CWD; setup writes .ai files and configures detected agent integrations.

- **Attack narrative:** During installation, the postinstall hook launches setup in the consumer project. Setup writes shared agent instruction files and configures detected integrations; the Codex installer also writes to the global ~/.codex/config.toml. This is an automatic mutation of AI-agent control surfaces.

- **Rationale:** The postinstall hook automatically modifies consumer and global AI-agent configuration, including shared instructions and MCP settings. This meets the policy for blocking unconsented install-time mutation of a broad agent control surface.

- **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.mjs, dist/mcp/installers/setup.js, dist/mcp/installers/codex.js, dist/mcp/installers/claude.js

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 98.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for policy risk:** package.json runs a postinstall script that launches the package's setup command., The postinstall setup targets the consumer project and writes shared agent instruction files., Setup detects and modifies multiple AI tool configurations, including the global Codex config.

- **Evidence against:** The setup is intended to install this package's MCP server and related instructions; no exfiltration or remote payload execution was identified in the inspected installer code.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @rfdtech/components@2.4.2.

- Avoid installing @rfdtech/components@2.4.2. 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.
