Claude Code can run extra commands on every tool use and user prompt without the installer asking, which hijacks a foreign agent control surface. - **Verdict:** AI-agent control-surface policy finding - **Product-default install policy:** Warn by default; block when configured - **Firewall policy:** Warn by default - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Soft block: AI-agent control surface - **Selected version:** 0.22.122 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This finding concerns changes to an AI agent's instructions or configuration without explicit user action. It does not by itself establish malware intent. The CLI warns by default and blocks when configured for this policy. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Install automatically runs a postinstall script that silently writes command hooks into Claude Code's user settings. Those hooks use an empty matcher, so they fire on tool use and prompt submit whenever the named binaries are on PATH. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-19T12:36:27.853Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-19T12:44:16.776Z - **Download time:** 758 ms - **Static scan time:** 610 ms - **AI review time:** 467555 ms - **Total time:** 468923 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

Those hooks use an empty matcher, so they fire on tool use and prompt submit whenever the named binaries are on PATH. - **Trigger:** npm install of @telora/mcp-products, which runs the postinstall script. - **Impact:** Claude Code can run extra commands on every tool use and user prompt without the installer asking, which hijacks a foreign agent control surface. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-19T12:44:16.776Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** unconsented write of Claude Code hooks into ~/.claude/settings.json - **Attack narrative:** Installing this package runs scripts/postinstall.js. If telora-ai-hook and telora-ai-human-hook resolve on PATH, the script creates or rewrites ~/.claude/settings.json and inserts empty-matcher PostToolUse and UserPromptSubmit command hooks. Failures are swallowed, including by || true in package.json, so the npm install still succeeds. Claude Code then executes those binaries on tool use and prompt submit without an install-time consent step. - **Rationale:** The postinstall script writes command hooks into Claude Code's global settings file without asking the user. That is unconsented install-time mutation of a foreign AI-agent control surface and should be blocked. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.js, ~/.claude/settings.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** package.json runs scripts/postinstall.js on every install and ignores failure with || true., The postinstall script writes Claude Code hooks into the user's ~/.claude/settings.json without a prompt., It registers empty-matcher PostToolUse and UserPromptSubmit command hooks for PATH-resolved binaries., Errors are swallowed so the install still succeeds and the settings write stays hidden. - **Evidence against:** Hook writes are skipped when telora-ai-hook or telora-ai-human-hook is not on PATH., The MCP server and init command otherwise talk to Telora or syntelyos product endpoints., scripts/postinstall.js uses CommonJS require while package.json sets type module, so the hook may throw before writing. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @telora/mcp-products@0.22.122. - Avoid installing @telora/mcp-products@0.22.122. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
