Changes agent behavior and can prevent an agent turn from ending. - **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:** 12.4.0 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. On npm install, the package initializes the consuming project and writes agent skills, a Claude Stop hook, and Git hooks. This is an unconsented mutation of foreign AI-agent control surfaces. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-24T03:23:01.569Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-24T03:24:10.068Z - **Download time:** 754 ms - **Static scan time:** 1829 ms - **AI review time:** 65915 ms - **Total time:** 68499 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** On npm install, the package initializes the consuming project and writes agent skills, a Claude Stop hook, and Git hooks. This is an unconsented mutation of foreign AI-agent control surfaces. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall when installed by a consumer project - **Impact:** Changes agent behavior and can prevent an agent turn from ending. - **Evidence paths:** bin/lib/postinstall.mjs, bin/lib/init.mjs, bin/lib/materialize.mjs, registry/hooks/opus-check-on-stop.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-24T03:24:10.068Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** materializes agent skills and registers a blocking Claude hook - **Attack narrative:** During postinstall, the package calls initProject for the consumer. That setup materializes its bundled skills into .agents and .claude, writes a Claude Stop hook registration, and installs hook code that can exit 2 to block the agent from stopping. These are automatic changes to broad, foreign agent-control surfaces rather than an explicit user setup command. - **Rationale:** Source confirms an unconsented postinstall chain that modifies both Codex-style and Claude agent configuration and installs a blocking lifecycle hook. This meets the firewall block boundary for foreign/broad AI-agent control-surface mutation. - **Files touched:** opus.json, base.json, .agents/skills/\*, .claude/skills/\*, .claude/hooks/opus-check-on-stop.mjs, .claude/settings.json, .githooks/\*, AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, .git/config ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** postinstall automatically invokes project initialization for consumers., Initialization materializes bundled skills into both .agents and .claude control surfaces., It adds a Claude Stop hook command to .claude/settings.json., The installed hook can block an agent turn by exiting 2. - **Evidence against:** Postinstall supports OPUS\_SKIP\_INIT and avoids the package's own repo., Writes are project-scoped and managed-file checks preserve edited files. ## Public findings ### 1.
