External binaries gain automatic execution across the user's Claude Code sessions 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:** 0.22.135 - **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 automatically alters Claude Code's global hook configuration. It registers unrestricted commands that run after every tool use and submitted prompt. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-13T06:41:14.933Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-13T06:42:04.876Z - **Download time:** 1015 ms - **Static scan time:** 699 ms - **AI review time:** 48228 ms - **Total time:** 49943 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 automatically alters Claude Code's global hook configuration. It registers unrestricted commands that run after every tool use and submitted prompt. - **Trigger:** Installing the package runs its postinstall hook when both Telora hook binaries are present on PATH. - **Impact:** External binaries gain automatic execution across the user's Claude Code sessions without an explicit setup command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-13T06:42:04.876Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Postinstall mutation of global Claude Code command hooks. - **Attack narrative:** The manifest invokes a postinstall script. When two Telora binaries are discoverable, it creates or rewrites ~/.claude/settings.json and adds empty-matcher command hooks for PostToolUse and UserPromptSubmit. Those hooks automatically execute external binaries for all matching Claude Code activity, while errors are swallowed. This is an unconsented install-time mutation of a broad AI-agent control surface. - **Rationale:** The package automatically installs unrestricted global Claude Code hooks rather than requiring an explicit user setup action. This meets the install-time AI-agent control-surface abuse blocking rule. - **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 policy risk:** The automatic postinstall script runs on installation., It opens the user's Claude Code settings file., It adds unrestricted command hooks for tool use and prompt submission., It suppresses installation errors, reducing visibility of the change. - **Evidence against:** The hook write occurs only when both external Telora hook binaries are already on PATH., The inspected postinstall code contains no network request or credential upload. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @telora/mcp-products@0.22.135. - Avoid installing @telora/mcp-products@0.22.135. 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.
