## Verdict summary
**Soft block: AI-agent control surface** — Warn by default; block when configured. Installation alters AI-agent instructions and MCP configuration without a separate setup action, creating an unconsented agent control-surface change.

- **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:** 2.4.3
- **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 package’s postinstall automatically invokes setup against the consumer environment, where it writes AI-agent skill files and can modify global Codex configuration. This meets the policy for blocking unconsented install-time mutation of an AI-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 npm postinstall hook automatically changes AI-agent configuration and installs skill files in the consumer environment. It runs setup without requiring a separate user command.

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

- **Impact:** Installation alters AI-agent instructions and MCP configuration without a separate setup action, creating an unconsented agent control-surface change.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-09T10:08:03.812Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The hook launches the setup CLI in the consumer project; setup writes shared skill files and, for detected tools, changes agent configuration, including the global Codex config.

- **Attack narrative:** During npm installation, the postinstall script invokes the setup CLI in the consumer’s project. Setup writes shared AI-tool skills and configures detected tools; for Codex it adds an MCP server entry to the user’s global config. This is an automatic agent control-surface change.

- **Rationale:** The package’s postinstall automatically invokes setup against the consumer environment, where it writes AI-agent skill files and can modify global Codex configuration. This meets the policy for blocking unconsented install-time mutation of an AI-agent control surface.

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

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 95.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for policy risk:** package.json defines a postinstall hook that runs scripts/postinstall.mjs., The postinstall hook launches the setup CLI with the consumer project as its working directory., Setup automatically writes shared AI-tool skill files into the consumer project’s .ai directory., When Codex is detected, setup adds this package’s MCP server to the user’s global Codex config.

- **Evidence against:** The setup has an RFDUI\_SKIP\_SETUP environment opt-out., The inspected setup writes package-related skills and MCP configuration; no credential collection or network transmission was identified.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @rfdtech/components@2.4.3.

- Avoid installing @rfdtech/components@2.4.3. 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.
