Arbitrary executables already available on PATH gain automatic execution in the user's Claude Code sessions. - **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:** 0.22.126 - **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. Installation silently modifies the user's broad Claude Code control surface. It registers PATH-resolved executables to run as command hooks on every prompt submission and tool use. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-19T11:58:43.011Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-19T11:59:29.792Z - **Download time:** 1040 ms - **Static scan time:** 699 ms - **AI review time:** 45041 ms - **Total time:** 46781 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:** Installation silently modifies the user's broad Claude Code control surface. It registers PATH-resolved executables to run as command hooks on every prompt submission and tool use. - **Trigger:** npm installation triggers postinstall. - **Impact:** Arbitrary executables already available on PATH gain automatic execution in the user's Claude Code sessions. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-19T11:59:29.792Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Install-time persistence through Claude Code command-hook configuration. - **Attack narrative:** The package's automatic postinstall hook resolves two external binaries from PATH and writes their resolved paths into ~/.claude/settings.json. It adds command hooks with an empty matcher for PostToolUse and UserPromptSubmit, causing them to run across Claude Code activity. This occurs without an explicit setup command or consent and suppresses install failures, making it an unconsented mutation of a broad AI-agent control surface. - **Rationale:** The automatic lifecycle hook persistently grants PATH-resolved commands execution in Claude Code's global hook configuration. This is concrete install-time AI-agent control-surface hijacking. - **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 policy risk:** The manifest runs scripts/postinstall.js automatically after installation and suppresses failures., The install hook locates executables on PATH, then creates or changes the user's Claude Code settings to register them as command hooks for every prompt submission and tool use. - **Evidence against:** The normal API client sends its configured credential only to the configured Telora URL; this does not mitigate the install-time hook mutation. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @telora/mcp-products@0.22.126. - Avoid installing @telora/mcp-products@0.22.126. 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.
