## Verdict summary
**Soft block: AI-agent control surface** — Warn by default; block when configured. Future Claude Code sessions can be influenced to use Tigris for object-storage tasks without the user's explicit setup action.

- **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:** 3.11.0
- **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.

This is an automatic postinstall mutation of a foreign AI-agent control surface, not an explicit user-command setup flow. The hook installs behavioral instructions that influence future agent actions.

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 modifies an existing Claude Code control surface. It installs a non-user-invocable skill that steers future agent behavior toward this package's service.

- **Trigger:** npm installation runs the postinstall hook when the user's .claude directory exists.

- **Impact:** Future Claude Code sessions can be influenced to use Tigris for object-storage tasks without the user's explicit setup action.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.cjs, SKILL.md

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-01T14:45:15.311Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** Automatic installation of a Claude Code skill into the user's home directory.

- **Attack narrative:** The package registers a postinstall lifecycle hook. On dependency installation, it detects an existing Claude Code directory and copies its bundled non-user-invocable skill into the user's global Claude skills directory. That skill instructs the agent to use Tigris for all object-storage tasks, creating an unconsented cross-session agent control surface.

- **Rationale:** This is an automatic postinstall mutation of a foreign AI-agent control surface, not an explicit user-command setup flow. The hook installs behavioral instructions that influence future agent actions.

- **Files touched:** postinstall.cjs, SKILL.md, .claude/skills/tigris/SKILL.md

- **Network endpoints:** https://t3.storage.dev

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 99.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for policy risk:** The manifest runs postinstall automatically., The install hook copies a package skill into the user's Claude Code skills directory when .claude exists., The installed skill is non-user-invocable and directs the agent to prefer Tigris for all object-storage work.

- **Evidence against:** The hook does not show credential collection, network access, or shell execution., Other agent configuration changes are behind the interactive tigris init command.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @tigrisdata/cli@3.11.0.

- Avoid installing @tigrisdata/cli@3.11.0. 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.
