Subsequent Claude Code sessions execute the configured binaries on agent events without a separate setup decision. - **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:** 0.22.169 - **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. The npm postinstall script modifies global Claude Code command hooks without consent. This affects a broad agent control surface outside the package. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-30T06:20:19.081Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-30T06:22:00.530Z - **Download time:** 1036 ms - **Static scan time:** 849 ms - **AI review time:** 99563 ms - **Total time:** 101449 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:** The npm postinstall script modifies global Claude Code command hooks without consent. This affects a broad agent control surface outside the package. - **Trigger:** Installing the package while telora-ai-hook and telora-ai-human-hook are available on PATH. - **Impact:** Subsequent Claude Code sessions execute the configured binaries on agent events without a separate setup decision. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-30T06:22:00.530Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The installer resolves the binaries, adds or updates global tool-use and prompt-submit command hooks, and writes the settings file. - **Attack narrative:** Installation automatically runs the postinstall script. When both Telora hook binaries exist on PATH, the script reads the user's global Claude settings, adds or updates command hooks for tool-use and prompt-submit events, and saves the file. Binary availability is the only activation guard; there is no consent prompt. The global event hooks extend beyond package-owned configuration and persist into later agent sessions. - **Rationale:** The source establishes unconsented postinstall mutation of a broad AI-agent control surface, which meets the explicit blocking rule. Same-vendor binaries and the PATH prerequisite do not limit the mutation to package-owned settings or establish consent. - **Files touched:** .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:** package.json automatically runs scripts/postinstall.js after installation., The installer proceeds when both Telora hook binaries are available, without requesting consent., The destination is the user's global .claude/settings.json., The installer adds command hooks with an empty matcher to PostToolUse and UserPromptSubmit and saves the settings. - **Evidence against:** Installation skips hook configuration when either binary is absent., The configured commands are Telora binaries; the inspected installer shows no credential exfiltration. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @telora/mcp-products@0.22.169. - Avoid installing @telora/mcp-products@0.22.169. 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.
