Foreign coding agents may automatically discover and follow package-supplied instructions, including filesystem-writing workflows. - **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:** 0.1.3 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. npm postinstall mutates a user-wide AI-agent control surface. It installs packaged skills into ~/.agents/skills unconditionally and into detected Claude/Codex/editor locations. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-08T01:55:42.616Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-08T01:56:25.582Z - **Download time:** 515 ms - **Static scan time:** 234 ms - **AI review time:** 42215 ms - **Total time:** 42966 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** npm postinstall mutates a user-wide AI-agent control surface. It installs packaged skills into ~/.agents/skills unconditionally and into detected Claude/Codex/editor locations. - **Trigger:** npm install of @vib795/agent-memory@0.1.3 - **Impact:** Foreign coding agents may automatically discover and follow package-supplied instructions, including filesystem-writing workflows. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, src/targets.js, src/setup.js, src/promptfile.js, skills/handoff/SKILL.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-08T01:56:25.582Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall deployment of agent skills and prompt files - **Attack narrative:** Installation automatically executes setup, which unconditionally creates ~/.agents/skills and installs three package-controlled skills there. Detected Claude Code, Codex, and VS Code locations receive the same skills or generated agent-mode prompts. This mutates user-wide, foreign AI-agent instruction surfaces without an explicit setup command. - **Rationale:** The package has no confirmed exfiltration or remote execution, but its postinstall hook concretely and unconsentedly installs active instructions into broad third-party AI-agent control surfaces. That meets the firewall block boundary. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.js, src/setup.js, src/targets.js, skills/handoff/SKILL.md, ~/.agents/skills/handoff, ~/.agents/skills/recall, ~/.agents/skills/remember, ~/.claude/skills/\*, ~/.codex/skills/\*, VS Code User/prompts/\*.prompt.md ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs scripts/postinstall.js automatically., scripts/postinstall.js imports and runs setup during npm install., src/targets.js always selects ~/.agents/skills even without detecting an agent., src/setup.js symlinks or copies three packaged skills into agent skill directories., src/setup.js writes VS Code prompt files with mode: agent for detected editors., skills/handoff/SKILL.md directs agents to create files outside project scope. - **Evidence against:** No network client, endpoint, or exfiltration code found., No eval, shell interpolation, remote payload loading, or binary loading found., Child-process use is limited to fixed git commands in src/cli.js and src/staleness.js., src/redact.js redacts secrets before notes are persisted. ## Public findings ### 1.
