Unconsented persistence in a broad AI-agent control surface; later Claude events execute external Telora commands. - **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:** 0.22.121 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Installing the package can alter the user-wide Claude Code hook configuration. The added command hooks execute Telora binaries for all matching prompt and tool-use events. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-23T02:10:05.945Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-23T02:10:55.541Z - **Download time:** 772 ms - **Static scan time:** 816 ms - **AI review time:** 48006 ms - **Total time:** 49596 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installing the package can alter the user-wide Claude Code hook configuration. The added command hooks execute Telora binaries for all matching prompt and tool-use events. - **Trigger:** npm install (when both Telora hook binaries are present on PATH) - **Impact:** Unconsented persistence in a broad AI-agent control surface; later Claude events execute external Telora commands. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, dist/cli/init.js, dist/shared.js, dist/handlers/daemonConfig.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-23T02:10:55.541Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall writes global Claude Code command hooks - **Attack narrative:** The postinstall lifecycle hook resolves two Telora executables and, if found, creates or modifies ~/.claude/settings.json. It installs unrestricted command hooks for PostToolUse and UserPromptSubmit, causing those external binaries to run on subsequent Claude Code interactions. This occurs during installation rather than an explicit configuration command and affects the user-wide Claude control surface. - **Rationale:** Direct source inspection confirms an install-time write to global Claude Code hooks, not merely a scanner signature. The PATH guard limits exposure but does not make the unconsented broad control-surface mutation safe. - **Files touched:** 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:** npm postinstall runs scripts/postinstall.js., Postinstall targets ~/.claude/settings.json., It adds global PostToolUse and UserPromptSubmit command hooks., Hooks invoke externally resolved telora-ai binaries on every matching Claude event. - **Evidence against:** Hook writes require both telora-ai binaries already on PATH., Postinstall itself contains no network or credential exfiltration., The separate MCP init command is interactive and user-invoked. ## Public findings ### 1.
