A dependency installation can alter AI-agent behavior and repository hook execution without an explicit user command. - **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:** 18.0.0 - **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. Installing the package mutates the consumer project's Claude and agent control surfaces. It installs an automatic Claude Stop command hook and Git hook configuration. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-14T12:05:15.084Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-14T12:06:43.245Z - **Download time:** 503 ms - **Static scan time:** 1584 ms - **AI review time:** 86073 ms - **Total time:** 88161 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

It installs an automatic Claude Stop command hook and Git hook configuration. - **Trigger:** npm installation of @softize/opus in a consumer project. - **Impact:** A dependency installation can alter AI-agent behavior and repository hook execution without an explicit user command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/lib/postinstall.mjs, bin/lib/materialize.mjs, registry/hooks/opus-check-on-stop.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-14T12:06:43.245Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Postinstall materializes agent skills, Claude hooks, settings, and Git hooks into the consumer project. - **Attack narrative:** During npm postinstall, the package detects its consumer project and runs initialization. That initialization copies skills and a command hook into Claude and agent directories, adds the hook to .claude/settings.json, and configures Git hooks. The installed Stop hook invokes a package-controlled check and can exit with status 2 to block the agent from stopping. This is an unconsented install-time mutation of a foreign AI-agent control surface. - **Rationale:** The automatic lifecycle path materially changes consumer AI-agent settings and hooks, rather than limiting setup to an explicit user command. This meets the policy threshold for a publish block. - **Files touched:** .agents/skills/, .claude/skills/, .claude/hooks/opus-check-on-stop.mjs, .claude/settings.json, .githooks/pre-push.d/, .githooks/run-opus-pre-push.mjs, .git/config ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** The package automatically runs a postinstall script., The postinstall initializes the consumer project., Initialization copies package skills and hooks into agent directories., It modifies Claude settings to install a command hook., The installed hook can block an agent stop event., It also configures the consumer repository's Git hooks path., On check failures, the hook tells the agent to fix violations before ending its turn and exits with status 2. - **Evidence against:** No credential harvesting, data exfiltration, or unrelated network endpoint was found in the inspected lifecycle path., No runtime dependency on another release of this package was found. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @softize/opus@18.0.0. - Avoid installing @softize/opus@18.0.0. 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.
