Package-controlled instructions become available to detected agent tools across the user profile. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Warn by default - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Soft block: AI-agent control surface - **Selected version:** 0.1.1 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Installing the package automatically mutates broad third-party AI-agent instruction surfaces. It links packaged skills and writes VS Code prompt files without an explicit setup command. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-08T01:55:42.650Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-08T01:56:17.206Z - **Download time:** 504 ms - **Static scan time:** 212 ms - **AI review time:** 33839 ms - **Total time:** 34556 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installing the package automatically mutates broad third-party AI-agent instruction surfaces. It links packaged skills and writes VS Code prompt files without an explicit setup command. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall - **Impact:** Package-controlled instructions become available to detected agent tools across the user profile. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, src/setup.js, src/targets.js, skills/recall/SKILL.md, skills/remember/SKILL.md, skills/handoff/SKILL.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-08T01:56:17.206Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall creation of AI-agent skill links and prompt files - **Attack narrative:** On npm installation, postinstall imports setup, which writes package-controlled skill content into ~/.agents unconditionally and into detected Claude Code, Codex, and VS Code-family instruction locations. This changes foreign AI-agent control surfaces before the user explicitly runs the package CLI. - **Rationale:** The shipped content shows no exfiltration or remote payload behavior, but the automatic lifecycle hook performs concrete, unconsented writes to broad third-party AI-agent instruction surfaces. That meets the install-time control-surface mutation block boundary. - **Files touched:** ~/.agents/skills/{handoff,recall,remember}, ~/.claude/skills/{handoff,recall,remember}, ~/.codex/skills/{handoff,recall,remember}, VS Code-family User/prompts/{handoff,recall,remember}.prompt.md ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json defines postinstall., scripts/postinstall.js invokes setup during npm install., src/setup.js creates links/copies and prompt files in agent directories., src/targets.js targets ~/.agents plus detected Claude, Codex, and VS Code-family paths. - **Evidence against:** No network client or endpoint is present., No credential harvesting or exfiltration found., Skills contain memory/handoff workflows, not hidden payload instructions., child\_process use is fixed-argument git inspection only. ## Public findings ### 1.

Critical: Ai Agent Control Hijack - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** src/targets.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Source creates an unconsented AI-agent control surface through install-time mutation or a default unauthenticated remote skill channel. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript Install-time code directly mutates a foreign AI-agent control surface: L58: const overridden = Boolean(process.env.AGENT_MEMORY_SKILLS_HOME); L59: return (!overridden && process.env.CODEX_HOME) || join(home, '.codex'); L60: } ...
