The hooks execute after tool use and prompt submission. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall, when telora-ai hook binaries are present on PATH - **Impact:** unconsented execution of external hook binaries across Claude Code sessions - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-22T13:15:24.559Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** global Claude Code hook registration - **Attack narrative:** Installing the package invokes scripts/postinstall.js. If both Telora hook binaries resolve on PATH, it reads or creates ~/.claude/settings.json, adds catch-all command hooks for PostToolUse and UserPromptSubmit, and writes the file while suppressing all errors. This modifies a broad, foreign AI-agent control surface without an explicit setup command. - **Rationale:** The package performs unconsented postinstall persistence in global Claude Code settings, configuring broad lifecycle hooks that execute other binaries. This meets the install-time AI-agent control-surface hijack block criterion. - **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, ~/.claude/settings.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** postinstall runs automatically on npm installation., Install hook edits the global Claude Code settings file., It registers command hooks for every PostToolUse and UserPromptSubmit event., Errors are swallowed, leaving the install successful after mutation. - **Evidence against:** Mutation is conditional on two Telora hook binaries already being on PATH., No credential exfiltration or network activity appears in the postinstall script. ## Public findings ### 1.
