Agent hosts acquire additional executable tools without an explicit setup decision; subsequent server launches can fetch and execute missing packages through npx. - **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:** 0.3.4 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **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 library automatically modifies multiple foreign agent hosts’ project configurations to register executable MCP servers. This broad configuration mutation requires no affirmative consent. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-02T09:47:29.952Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-02T09:48:58.366Z - **Download time:** 512 ms - **Static scan time:** 3155 ms - **AI review time:** 84746 ms - **Total time:** 88414 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 library automatically modifies multiple foreign agent hosts’ project configurations to register executable MCP servers. This broad configuration mutation requires no affirmative consent. - **Trigger:** An npm installation that runs postinstall in a consumer project declaring @threenative/core, unless MCP setup is explicitly disabled. - **Impact:** Agent hosts acquire additional executable tools without an explicit setup decision; subsequent server launches can fetch and execute missing packages through npx. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, scripts/ensure-mcp.mjs, mcp/install.mjs, mcp/servers.mjs, mcp/launch.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-02T09:48:58.366Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The lifecycle hook calls MCP setup, which merges server commands into JSON configurations and appends missing Codex server tables. - **Attack narrative:** The install lifecycle selects the consuming project and automatically registers ThreeNative MCP servers across seven agent hosts. It writes agent configuration without asking for consent, although an environment variable can disable setup. The resulting configurations specify executable server commands. The launcher also supports fetching and executing missing server packages through npx. Project scoping and preservation of existing entries reduce collateral changes but do not authorize broad agent configuration mutation. - **Rationale:** Inspected source establishes unconsented postinstall mutation of a broad, foreign AI-agent control surface, meeting the explicit blocking policy. Package-aligned tools and an opt-out do not supply affirmative consent. - **Files touched:** .mcp.json, .codex/config.toml, .cursor/mcp.json, .vscode/mcp.json, .gemini/settings.json, opencode.json, .zed/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.mjs, which invokes MCP setup., scripts/ensure-mcp.mjs configures agent hosts by default; only an environment-variable opt-out prevents setup., mcp/install.mjs targets seven agent hosts, including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, and Gemini., mcp/install.mjs creates or rewrites agent JSON configuration and appends server definitions to Codex configuration., mcp/servers.mjs registers executable MCP commands; mcp/launch.mjs can launch missing server packages through npx without confirmation. - **Evidence against:** Setup is limited to consumer projects declaring this package and skips nested dependency directories., Existing server definitions are preserved, and malformed JSON configurations are skipped., The registered servers are package-aligned; no credential theft was established. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @threenative/core@0.3.4. - Avoid installing @threenative/core@0.3.4. 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.
