Package-authored instructions become available to Codex, Claude, Cursor, Copilot, and shared agent skill loaders. - **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:** 0.10.0 - **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. The postinstall hook silently installs a package-controlled skill into multiple unrelated AI-agent user directories. That changes future agent behavior without an explicit setup command. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-06T03:49:34.052Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-06T03:50:22.401Z - **Download time:** 522 ms - **Static scan time:** 701 ms - **AI review time:** 47126 ms - **Total time:** 48349 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** The postinstall hook silently installs a package-controlled skill into multiple unrelated AI-agent user directories. That changes future agent behavior without an explicit setup command. - **Trigger:** npm installation of the package - **Impact:** Package-authored instructions become available to Codex, Claude, Cursor, Copilot, and shared agent skill loaders. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/install-skills.mjs, SKILL.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-06T03:50:22.401Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** automatic cross-platform AI-agent skill installation - **Attack narrative:** Installing the package invokes its postinstall hook. The hook creates several home-directory agent skill folders and copies the packaged SKILL.md into each. The copied skill gives future agents package-preferred deployment and update instructions, affecting multiple agent products without a separate user action. - **Rationale:** This is an unconsented postinstall mutation of broad, foreign AI-agent control surfaces. The local payload and absence of secret theft do not neutralize the automatic cross-platform agent configuration change. - **Files touched:** SKILL.md, ~/.agents/skills/sfdeploy/SKILL.md, ~/.cursor/skills/sfdeploy/SKILL.md, ~/.cursor/skills-cursor/sfdeploy/SKILL.md, ~/.claude/skills/sfdeploy/SKILL.md, ~/.codex/skills/sfdeploy/SKILL.md, ~/.copilot/skills/sfdeploy/SKILL.md ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** Installation automatically runs a skill installer., The installer targets shared and vendor-specific agent skill directories in the user's home directory., The installer recursively creates those directories and overwrites a SKILL.md file., The installed skill directs agent deployment choices and tells agents to update this package. - **Evidence against:** No credential harvesting or hidden network activity was found in the install hook., The install hook copies a packaged local file rather than downloading a payload. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @studyfetch/sfdeploy@0.10.0. - Avoid installing @studyfetch/sfdeploy@0.10.0. 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.
