Future agent sessions can gain shell and file modification permissions and load installed agent plugins without the consumer explicitly authorizing these changes. - **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:** 1.1.0 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **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 npm postinstall hook automatically changes the consumer project's AI-agent controls. It creates broad Claude Code permissions and deploys OpenCode configuration and plugins without specific consent. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-01T15:38:57.903Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-01T15:40:29.583Z - **Download time:** 1276 ms - **Static scan time:** 277 ms - **AI review time:** 90126 ms - **Total time:** 91680 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

It creates broad Claude Code permissions and deploys OpenCode configuration and plugins without specific consent. - **Trigger:** npm install or npm ci with lifecycle scripts enabled in a consumer project. - **Impact:** Future agent sessions can gain shell and file modification permissions and load installed agent plugins without the consumer explicitly authorizing these changes. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/npm-postinstall.mjs, scripts/install.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-01T15:40:29.583Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook passes INIT\_CWD to the installer, which writes agent configuration and plugin files. Missing Claude Code settings receive broad permission grants. - **Attack narrative:** An ordinary dependency installation activates the postinstall hook, which launches the framework installer against the consumer project. The installer creates Claude Code settings allowing broad tools and installs OpenCode configuration and plugins. Existing Claude settings are preserved, but projects without those settings receive the permission grants automatically. The .NET compatibility prompt does not request consent to agent control changes and is skipped in noninteractive execution. - **Rationale:** Source proves unconsented postinstall mutation of broad, foreign AI-agent control surfaces, meeting the supplied blocking rule. Preserving existing Claude settings limits exposure but does not prevent automatic permission grants in other projects. - **Files touched:** .claude/settings.json, .opencode/opencode.jsonc, .opencode/plugin, opencode.jsonc ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** package.json automatically runs scripts/npm-postinstall.mjs after installation., The hook identifies the consumer project through INIT\_CWD and invokes the installer during npm install or ci., The installer creates Claude Code settings granting broad shell, editing, writing, and web capabilities with no ask rules., Installation writes OpenCode configuration and copies plugins into the consumer project's agent directories., The only installation prompt concerns missing .NET project files; noninteractive installation continues without agent configuration consent. - **Evidence against:** Existing Claude Code settings are preserved during installation., The installer rejects the filesystem root and home directory as targets. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @techierathore/techieflow@1.1.0. - Avoid installing @techierathore/techieflow@1.1.0. 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.
