It registers commands for PostToolUse and UserPromptSubmit without an explicit setup command. - **Trigger:** npm install of the package with telora-ai-hook and telora-ai-human-hook on PATH - **Impact:** Subsequent Claude Code tool-use and prompt-submit events execute package-associated binaries. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-17T00:26:56.133Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Install-time global Claude Code hook registration - **Attack narrative:** Installation invokes scripts/postinstall.js. If both Telora hook executables resolve from PATH, it creates or edits ~/.claude/settings.json and inserts command hooks for PostToolUse and UserPromptSubmit. Those hooks activate later across the user's Claude Code activity, creating an unconsented global AI-agent control surface. - **Rationale:** This is concrete install-time mutation of a foreign, broad AI-agent control surface. The binary-presence guard limits reach but does not make the automatic configuration consensual. - **Files touched:** ~/.claude/settings.json, telora-ai-hook, telora-ai-human-hook ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** postinstall runs automatically after npm installation., Postinstall locates Telora hook binaries and edits the user's Claude Code settings., It adds global PostToolUse and UserPromptSubmit command hooks., The hook commands execute on every matching Claude Code event. - **Evidence against:** Mutation is conditional on both named Telora binaries already being on PATH., No credential harvesting or network exfiltration is present in the postinstall script., The separate MCP configuration path is an explicit \`init\` command. ## Public findings ### 1.
