A package installation changes a broad AI-agent control surface and enables external commands for all matching Claude Code events without user action. - **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:** 0.22.133 - **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 automatically modifies the user's Claude Code hook configuration. The added empty-match rules cause external Telora hook binaries to run after every tool use and on every submitted prompt. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-14T03:48:37.211Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-14T03:49:20.029Z - **Download time:** 1037 ms - **Static scan time:** 710 ms - **AI review time:** 41070 ms - **Total time:** 42818 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 automatically modifies the user's Claude Code hook configuration. The added empty-match rules cause external Telora hook binaries to run after every tool use and on every submitted prompt. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall during package installation when both Telora hook binaries are on PATH - **Impact:** A package installation changes a broad AI-agent control surface and enables external commands for all matching Claude Code events without user action. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-14T03:49:20.029Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** silent install-time injection of unrestricted Claude Code command hooks - **Attack narrative:** The package manifest invokes a postinstall script. When two Telora binaries are present, the script creates or rewrites the user's Claude Code settings and inserts command hooks with an empty matcher for PostToolUse and UserPromptSubmit. Those hooks execute on every matching agent event. The script suppresses all errors, so the configuration change is not surfaced as an install failure. - **Rationale:** This is an unconsented postinstall mutation of a foreign, broad AI-agent control surface. The lifecycle script silently installs unrestricted command hooks, which meets the install-hook abuse block policy. - **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 automatically runs a postinstall script., The postinstall script targets the user's Claude Code settings file., It adds unrestricted command hooks for tool use and prompt submission., The mutation is silent and installation errors are suppressed. - **Evidence against:** The hook paths are only added when both named Telora binaries are found., No credential exfiltration or install-time network request appears in the inspected lifecycle script., The runtime API client uses configured Telora credentials for its stated MCP service. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @telora/mcp-products@0.22.133. - Avoid installing @telora/mcp-products@0.22.133. 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.
