## Public findings

### 1. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@titan-design/active-work@0.10.0/package.json>)

Package defines install-time lifecycle scripts.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```json
scripts.postinstall = node scripts/postinstall.js
```

### 2. Medium: Ambiguous Install Lifecycle Script

- **Confidence:** 75.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@titan-design/active-work@0.10.0/package.json>)

Install-time lifecycle script is not statically allowlisted and needs review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```json
scripts.postinstall = node scripts/postinstall.js
```

### 3. Low: Non Install Lifecycle Scripts
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 80.0%

Package declares lifecycle scripts that are not normally run for registry tarball installs.

### 4. Low: Scripts Present
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

Package declares npm scripts.

### 5. Medium: Environment Vars
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 75.0%

Package source references environment variables.

### 6. Medium: Install Persistence
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 75.0%
- **Path:** dist/cli.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@titan-design/active-work@0.10.0/dist/cli.js>)

Source writes installer persistence such as shell profile or service configuration.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L145: }
L146: const cwd = path.resolve(process.cwd());
L147: if (isInside(cwd, from)) {
...
L921: frontmatter: raw.frontmatter,
L922: body: raw.body,
L923: prefix
...
L1540: }
L1541: function parseWorktreePorcelain(stdout) {
L1542: const out = [];
...
L2067: function claudeProjectsRoot() {
L2068: const override = process.env.CLAUDE_PROJECTS_ROOT;
L2069: if (override && override.length > 0) {
```

### 7. Low: Filesystem
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 70.0%

Package source references filesystem APIs.

### 8. Critical: Ai Agent Control Hijack
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** scripts/postinstall.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@titan-design/active-work@0.10.0/scripts/postinstall.js>)

Source creates an unconsented AI-agent control surface through install-time mutation or a default unauthenticated remote skill channel.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L1: // Copy the bundled Claude Code skill into ~/.claude/skills/active-work/ and the
L2: // /aw-prompt slash command into ~/.claude/commands/ when ~/.claude exists. Skip
L3: // silently otherwise. Fail-soft: never abort an npm install if a copy fails.
L4: import { existsSync, mkdirSync, cpSync, copyFileSync, rmSync } from 'node:fs';
L5: import { join, dirname } from 'node:path';
...
L12: const commandSource = join(__dirname, '..', 'claude-commands', 'aw-prompt.md');
L13: const claudeDir = join(homedir(), '.claude');
L14: const claudeSkillsDir = join(claudeDir, 'skills', 'active-work');
...
L29: }
L30: mkdirSync(claudeSkillsDir, { recursive: true });
L31: cpSync(skillSource, claudeSkillsDir, { recursive: true });
L32: console.log(`active-work: installed Claude Code skill to ${claudeSkillsDi
```

### 9. High: Trigger Reachable Persistence
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 94.0%
- **Path:** dist/cli.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@titan-design/active-work@0.10.0/dist/cli.js>)

A manifest entrypoint or package-local install chain reaches persistence behavior.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
Trigger-reachable persistence chain: manifest.bin -> dist/cli.js
L145: }
L146: const cwd = path.resolve(process.cwd());
L147: if (isInside(cwd, from)) {
...
L921: frontmatter: raw.frontmatter,
L922: body: raw.body,
L923: prefix
...
L1540: }
L1541: function parseWorktreePorcelain(stdout) {
L1542: const out = [];
...
L2067: function claudeProjectsRoot() {
L2068: const override = process.env.CLAUDE_PROJECTS_ROOT;
L2069: if (override && override.length > 0) {
```

### 10. Low: High Entropy Strings
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 55.0%

Package source contains high-entropy string patterns.

### 11. Low: Url Strings
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 65.0%

Package source contains URL literals.

### 12. Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review
- **Category:** Artifact Inventory
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean.

### 13. High: Semantic Analysis Limited
- **Category:** Scanner Coverage
- **Confidence:** 100.0%
- **Path:** dist/chunk-6C4LEGVO.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@titan-design/active-work@0.10.0/dist/chunk-6C4LEGVO.js>)

A bounded semantic-analysis stage reached its safety limit; remaining detectors completed, but this package requires AI review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
stage = ast_semantic_analysis; reason = ast_alias_growth_limit_exceeded; limitedFiles = 2
```

### 14. High: Previous Version Dangerous Delta
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 93.0%
- **Path:** dist/cli.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@titan-design/active-work@0.10.0/dist/cli.js>)

This package version adds a dangerous source file absent from the previous stored version; route for source-aware review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
matchType = previous_version_dangerous_delta
matchedPackage = @titan-design/active-work@0.8.0
matchedIdentity = npm:[redacted]:0.8.0
similarity = 0.833
summary = stored previous version shares package body but lacks this dangerous source file
```
