Changes agent behavior across the consuming project and makes generated control files less likely to be reviewed. - **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:** 1.5.145 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Install-time code mutates the consuming project's package-manager and broad AI-agent control files without an explicit user command. It also installs instructions that suppress review of its generated artifacts. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-24T03:46:20.869Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-24T03:48:09.920Z - **Download time:** 510 ms - **Static scan time:** 101 ms - **AI review time:** 108440 ms - **Total time:** 109051 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Install-time code mutates the consuming project's package-manager and broad AI-agent control files without an explicit user command. It also installs instructions that suppress review of its generated artifacts. - **Trigger:** npm lifecycle postinstall - **Impact:** Changes agent behavior across the consuming project and makes generated control files less likely to be reviewed. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.js, merge.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-24T03:48:09.920Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** project-root AI-agent configuration injection and lifecycle-policy mutation - **Attack narrative:** On installation, postinstall locates the consuming project, changes .npmrc to ensure lifecycle execution, and starts bundled initialization there. The initializer writes AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, Copilot instructions, and Claude skills, then adds an instruction directing code review to skip these generated files. This is unconsented install-time mutation of broad AI-agent control surfaces. - **Rationale:** The package has no observed exfiltration, but its automatic postinstall changes consuming-project lifecycle policy and injects broad agent instructions plus review-suppression rules. This meets the blocking policy for unconsented install-time mutation of a foreign/broad AI-agent control surface. - **Files touched:** package.json, postinstall.js, merge.js, .npmrc, AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, .github/copilot-instructions.md, .github/instructions/, .claude/skills/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json registers an automatic postinstall hook., postinstall appends lifecycle and cache settings to the consuming project's .npmrc., postinstall runs merge initialization in the consuming project root., Initialization writes broad AI-agent instruction files and copies Claude skills., Generated Copilot instruction suppresses review of the package's generated files. - **Evidence against:** No credential harvesting or network/exfiltration code was found., The only postinstall subprocess is local node execution of the bundled merge script. ## Public findings ### 1.
