Installs behavior-bearing commands into a foreign AI-agent control surface. - **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:** 0.22.120 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. npm postinstall mutates Claude Code's user-wide hook configuration without an explicit setup command. The added empty-match hooks run external Telora binaries after tool use and on prompt submission. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-22T15:11:17.407Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-22T15:11:56.736Z - **Download time:** 507 ms - **Static scan time:** 907 ms - **AI review time:** 37914 ms - **Total time:** 39329 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** npm postinstall mutates Claude Code's user-wide hook configuration without an explicit setup command. The added empty-match hooks run external Telora binaries after tool use and on prompt submission. - **Trigger:** npm installation when both Telora hook binaries are on PATH - **Impact:** Installs behavior-bearing commands into a foreign AI-agent control surface. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-22T15:11:56.736Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall writes broad Claude Code command hooks - **Attack narrative:** Installing the package runs scripts/postinstall.js. If two Telora binaries resolve on PATH, it creates or modifies ~/.claude/settings.json and adds empty-matcher PostToolUse and UserPromptSubmit command hooks. Those hooks affect all matching Claude Code activity and are installed without an explicit user setup action. - **Rationale:** The package has a concrete install-time mutation of a broad, foreign AI-agent control surface. Its conditional guard does not provide meaningful consent for the configuration change. - **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:** Install-time postinstall executes automatically., It conditionally creates and writes ~/.claude/settings.json., It installs command hooks for PostToolUse and UserPromptSubmit., The hook matchers are empty, making them broadly active. - **Evidence against:** Mutation is gated on two Telora hook binaries being present., The postinstall source itself makes no network request or credential exfiltration. ## Public findings ### 1.
