Unconsented persistence of package-controlled instructions and skills across Claude Code, Copilot, and compatible agents; future package updates can alter those instructions. - **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:** 1.5.149 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Install-time code alters a consuming project's package-manager settings and AI-agent control files.

It also installs a review-suppression instruction for its generated artifacts. - **Trigger:** Automatic npm postinstall when the package is installed as a dependency. - **Impact:** Unconsented persistence of package-controlled instructions and skills across Claude Code, Copilot, and compatible agents; future package updates can alter those instructions. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.js, merge.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-26T03:46:02.974Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall spawns a project-root rule generator that writes broad AI-agent configuration. - **Attack narrative:** The manifest automatically runs postinstall. That script locates the consuming project, changes .npmrc to enable dependency lifecycle execution, and spawns merge.js init. The init path writes package-provided instructions into AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, Copilot instruction files, and .claude skills without an explicit user command. It also creates a Copilot instruction telling reviewers to skip those generated files, weakening review of the package-controlled control surface. - **Rationale:** This is unconsented postinstall mutation of broad, foreign AI-agent control surfaces, including reviewer-suppression rules. No exfiltration is needed for this concrete 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 runs automatically on dependency installation., It changes the consuming project's .npmrc to enable dependency lifecycle scripts., postinstall launches init in the consuming project., Init writes AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, Copilot instructions, and Claude skills., Generated Copilot instruction suppresses review of package-generated files. - **Evidence against:** No lifecycle network request or credential exfiltration was found., The screenshot helper only processes user-supplied local image files. ## Public findings ### 1.
