Package-controlled instructions and skills become active in the consumer project's AI-agent surfaces without an explicit user 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:** 1.5.131 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. On npm postinstall, the package alters the consuming project's npm configuration and generates AI-agent instruction files. It also installs package-supplied skills into the project's Claude control directory. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-13T12:14:15.789Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-13T12:14:43.040Z - **Download time:** 775 ms - **Static scan time:** 112 ms - **AI review time:** 26364 ms - **Total time:** 27251 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** On npm postinstall, the package alters the consuming project's npm configuration and generates AI-agent instruction files. It also installs package-supplied skills into the project's Claude control directory. - **Trigger:** npm installation runs postinstall - **Impact:** Package-controlled instructions and skills become active in the consumer project's AI-agent surfaces without an explicit user command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.js, merge.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-13T12:14:43.040Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** automatic foreign project AI-agent configuration and skill deployment - **Attack narrative:** Installing the dependency runs postinstall, finds the consumer project, changes its .npmrc to ensure lifecycle execution, and launches initialization. Initialization writes AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, Copilot instruction files, and package-provided skills under .claude/skills. These are behavior-bearing AI-agent control surfaces in a foreign project and are mutated without an explicit user setup command. - **Rationale:** This is a concrete, unconsented postinstall mutation of broad foreign AI-agent control surfaces, which meets the blocking policy. No network exfiltration is needed for the control-hijack behavior. - **Files touched:** .npmrc, AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.private.md, .github/copilot-instructions.md, .github/instructions/\*.instructions.md, .github/PULL\_REQUEST\_TEMPLATE.md, .claude/skills/\* ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** postinstall locates the consuming project and appends pnpm execution settings to its .npmrc., postinstall automatically invokes merge.js init in the consumer project., Init writes AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, GitHub Copilot instructions, and copies package skills into .claude/skills., The lifecycle mutation is unconsented and targets multiple foreign AI-agent control surfaces. - **Evidence against:** No credential harvesting, data exfiltration, remote endpoint, or hidden payload execution was found in inspected JavaScript., The explicit update command is user-invoked; it is not the basis for this verdict. ## Public findings ### 1.
