Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. On npm installation, the package mutates consumer-project configuration and writes Copilot and Claude agent-control files. It also installs a rule that excludes its generated files from Copilot code review and distributes instructions to include real secrets in documentation. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-11T09:46:07.615Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-11T09:47:15.851Z - **Download time:** 517 ms - **Static scan time:** 166 ms - **AI review time:** 67552 ms - **Total time:** 68236 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

It also installs a rule that excludes its generated files from Copilot code review and distributes instructions to include real secrets in documentation. - **Trigger:** Installing the package runs its postinstall hook. - **Impact:** It can weaken review coverage and cause future AI-assisted work to copy sensitive values into project documents. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.js, merge.js, AGENTS.base.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-11T09:47:15.851Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Lifecycle-driven mutation of project configuration and AI-agent instruction surfaces. - **Attack narrative:** Installing the package invokes postinstall, which changes the consumer project's pnpm behavior and runs the merger. The merger writes Copilot instructions and copies skills into Claude's project control directory. One generated instruction directs Copilot review to skip all matching generated agent-rule files, while packaged rules require real tokens and keys in documentation. This is an unconsented, broad AI-agent control-surface mutation that suppresses review and increases secret-exposure risk. - **Rationale:** The automatic lifecycle hook changes consumer-project package-manager settings and installs AI-agent instructions that suppress review and encourage secret disclosure. These concrete behaviors exceed transparent, package-owned setup and establish malicious install-hook abuse. - **Files touched:** .npmrc, .github/copilot-instructions.md, .github/instructions/no-review-docs.instructions.md, .github/instructions/\*.instructions.md, .github/PULL\_REQUEST\_TEMPLATE.md, .claude/skills/\*, AGENTS.private.md, .gitignore, AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The manifest runs postinstall automatically., Postinstall alters the consumer project's .npmrc to force lifecycle execution and disable pnpm side-effect caching., Postinstall launches the merger in the consumer project., The merger installs a Copilot review instruction that suppresses review of generated agent-rule files., The merger copies all packaged skills into the consumer project's Claude skill directory., Packaged rules instruct users to embed real secrets in documentation. - **Evidence against:** No credential collection or network exfiltration code was found in the inspected lifecycle and merger sources., No runtime dependency on another release of this package appears in package.json. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @routerhub/agent-rules@1.5.211. - Avoid installing @routerhub/agent-rules@1.5.211. 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. ## Public findings ### 1.
