External binaries gain automatic execution on Claude Code UserPromptSubmit and PostToolUse events. - **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:** 0.22.114 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. npm postinstall creates or rewrites Claude Code's global hook configuration when Telora hook binaries exist.

It registers those commands for broad prompt and tool-use events without an explicit user setup command. - **Trigger:** npm install of the package while telora-ai-hook and telora-ai-human-hook are on PATH - **Impact:** External binaries gain automatic execution on Claude Code UserPromptSubmit and PostToolUse events. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-15T16:30:58.715Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** install-time mutation of ~/.claude/settings.json to add command hooks - **Attack narrative:** The package's npm postinstall runs automatically, discovers two external Telora binaries, then creates or rewrites ~/.claude/settings.json. It inserts them as command hooks for all Claude Code UserPromptSubmit and PostToolUse events. This is an unconsented install-time mutation of a broad foreign AI-agent control surface; errors are suppressed so the install does not disclose failure or mutation. - **Rationale:** Direct source inspection confirms an install-triggered write to Claude Code's global settings that registers broad command hooks. This meets the policy's concrete AI-agent control-hijack block condition. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.js, ~/.claude/settings.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** postinstall runs automatically during npm installation., Install script locates external hook binaries and mutates Claude Code's global settings., It adds command hooks for every PostToolUse and UserPromptSubmit event., The mutation is silently swallowed, so installation succeeds without surfacing the control-surface change. - **Evidence against:** Hook insertion is conditional on both Telora hook binaries already being on PATH., No credential exfiltration or remote payload execution was found in the inspected lifecycle script. ## Public findings ### 1.
