A package install changes agent behavior and stages a remotely supplied executable without an install-time user 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:** 0.5.1 - **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. Every npm installation downloads a native executable and writes a Claude skill under the installing user's ~/.claude directory. This unconsented postinstall mutation affects a broad AI-agent control surface. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 97.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-19T19:42:52.648Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-19T19:43:39.198Z - **Download time:** 260 ms - **Static scan time:** 34 ms - **AI review time:** 46255 ms - **Total time:** 46550 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:** Every npm installation downloads a native executable and writes a Claude skill under the installing user's ~/.claude directory. This unconsented postinstall mutation affects a broad AI-agent control surface. - **Trigger:** Automatic npm postinstall execution. - **Impact:** A package install changes agent behavior and stages a remotely supplied executable without an install-time user command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, install.js, skill/scu-cli/SKILL.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-19T19:43:39.198Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Postinstall remote binary download and Claude skill installation. - **Attack narrative:** Installing the package automatically invokes install.js. It downloads a native executable from GitHub, writes it to bin/scu, and copies a bundled skill into ~/.claude/skills/scu-cli unless the installer environment already sets an opt-out variable. The installed skill directs Claude agents to invoke the CLI, which handles authenticated campus-service sessions. This is an unconsented install-time modification of a broad agent control surface, coupled with remote executable delivery. - **Rationale:** The postinstall hook automatically mutates ~/.claude/skills and installs a remote executable. This meets the policy for malicious install-hook abuse of a foreign AI-agent control surface. - **Files touched:** package.json, install.js, bin/scu, skill/scu-cli/SKILL.md, ~/.claude/skills/scu-cli/SKILL.md - **Network endpoints:** github.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 97.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** The manifest automatically runs install.js as a postinstall hook., The install hook creates ~/.claude/skills/scu-cli and copies an agent skill there unless an environment opt-out is set., The same automatic hook downloads a platform-native executable from GitHub and writes it into bin/., The dropped skill instructs AI agents to use the CLI and describes automatic authenticated-session handling. - **Evidence against:** The download URL is fixed to the package repository and version., The installer attempts SHA-256 verification when checksums.txt is available. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @the-brotherhood-of-scu/scu-cli@0.5.1. - Avoid installing @the-brotherhood-of-scu/scu-cli@0.5.1. 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.
