A dependency installation changes a broad AI-agent control surface and causes package-supplied hook code to run in the consumer project. - **Verdict:** AI-agent control-surface policy finding - **Product-default install policy:** Warn by default; block when configured - **Firewall policy:** Warn by default - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Soft block: AI-agent control surface - **Selected version:** 16.0.0 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This finding concerns changes to an AI agent's instructions or configuration without explicit user action. It does not by itself establish malware intent. The CLI warns by default and blocks when configured for this policy. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Installation automatically alters the consumer project's AI-agent configuration and deploys package-controlled skills. It also adds a Claude Stop command hook. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-11T20:26:46.548Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-11T20:27:31.460Z - **Download time:** 510 ms - **Static scan time:** 1786 ms - **AI review time:** 42615 ms - **Total time:** 44912 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

It also adds a Claude Stop command hook. - **Trigger:** npm installation of the package as a direct consumer dependency. - **Impact:** A dependency installation changes a broad AI-agent control surface and causes package-supplied hook code to run in the consumer project. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/lib/postinstall.mjs, bin/lib/materialize.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-11T20:27:31.460Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Postinstall materializes agent skills and injects a Claude command hook. - **Attack narrative:** The package's automatic postinstall locates a consuming project and calls setup. That setup copies package-controlled skills into .agents and .claude and alters .claude/settings.json to register a command hook. These AI-agent control-surface changes occur during dependency installation rather than through an explicit user setup command. - **Rationale:** This is an unconsented postinstall mutation of a consumer project's broad AI-agent control surface. Guards limiting the target project do not remove the automatic hook and skill injection. - **Files touched:** package.json, bin/lib/postinstall.mjs, bin/lib/materialize.mjs, .agents/skills/\*, .claude/skills/\*, .claude/settings.json, .claude/hooks/opus-check-on-stop.mjs ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** The manifest runs a postinstall script automatically during installation., The postinstall invokes project setup for the consuming project when it resolves to this package instance., Setup materializes package-provided skills into both .agents and .claude directories., Setup injects a command hook into .claude/settings.json, creating an AI-agent control-surface change without an explicit user command. - **Evidence against:** The postinstall has skip and package-resolution guards., The inspected install path contains no network request or credential-exfiltration code. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @softize/opus@16.0.0. - Avoid installing @softize/opus@16.0.0. 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.
