Commands outside this package become configured to run on future AI-agent events without an explicit setup command. - **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:** 0.22.123 - **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. Installing the package can modify the user's Claude Code configuration. It registers executable hooks for all tool-use and prompt-submission events when matching binaries are on PATH. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-19T11:58:43.090Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-19T11:59:23.795Z - **Download time:** 1040 ms - **Static scan time:** 626 ms - **AI review time:** 39038 ms - **Total time:** 40705 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installing the package can modify the user's Claude Code configuration. It registers executable hooks for all tool-use and prompt-submission events when matching binaries are on PATH. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall during package installation, when both Telora hook binaries are available. - **Impact:** Commands outside this package become configured to run on future AI-agent events without an explicit setup command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-19T11:59:23.795Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic persistent Claude Code hook registration. - **Attack narrative:** The package manifest automatically launches scripts/postinstall.js during installation. If two executables are found on PATH, that script creates or edits ~/.claude/settings.json and registers them as command hooks for PostToolUse and UserPromptSubmit. This changes a broad AI-agent control surface without an explicit user setup action and persists after installation. - **Rationale:** This is an unconsented postinstall mutation of a foreign, broad AI-agent control surface. The conditional executable lookup does not remove the automatic persistent configuration change when the condition is met. - **Files touched:** ~/.claude/settings.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** The manifest runs a postinstall script automatically., The postinstall script locates two hook executables and then modifies the user's Claude Code settings., It adds command hooks for both tool-use and prompt-submission events, creating persistent execution in a broad AI-agent control surface. - **Evidence against:** The install hook exits without changes when either Telora hook executable is unavailable., The inspected postinstall source does not itself send data over the network. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @telora/mcp-products@0.22.123. - Avoid installing @telora/mcp-products@0.22.123. 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.
