Subsequent Claude Code activity executes the registered commands across the user's agent environment without a 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:** 0.22.171 - **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. An automatic postinstall hook modifies global Claude Code settings without consent. It registers commands for tool use and user prompt submission. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-01T03:47:11.585Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-01T03:48:38.911Z - **Download time:** 774 ms - **Static scan time:** 889 ms - **AI review time:** 85661 ms - **Total time:** 87326 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:** An automatic postinstall hook modifies global Claude Code settings without consent. It registers commands for tool use and user prompt submission. - **Trigger:** npm installation when telora-ai-hook and telora-ai-human-hook are available on PATH. - **Impact:** Subsequent Claude Code activity executes the registered commands across the user's agent environment without a setup decision. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-01T03:48:38.911Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The installer reads global agent settings, adds or updates command hooks with an empty matcher, and writes the settings back. - **Attack narrative:** Installation automatically invokes the postinstall script. When both Telora hook binaries are available, the script changes the user's global Claude Code settings, installing broadly matching commands for PostToolUse and UserPromptSubmit. No prompt or saved consent gates this mutation. The existing-binary check limits activation but does not authorize changing a foreign agent's global control surface. - **Rationale:** The inspected lifecycle performs unconsented mutation of a foreign, global AI-agent control surface, which meets the supplied blocking rule. Existing Telora binaries and a separate interactive setup command do not provide consent for this automatic behavior. - **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 resolves two Telora hook binaries from PATH; their presence is the activation gate., The installer targets the user's global .claude/settings.json without requesting consent., It adds broadly matching command hooks for tool use and prompt submission., It persists the modified global agent settings. - **Evidence against:** The hook commands reference existing Telora binaries, and installation skips configuration when either is absent., The separate init command provides interactive MCP setup, but does not gate the postinstall mutation. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @telora/mcp-products@0.22.171. - Avoid installing @telora/mcp-products@0.22.171. 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.
