Changes instructions and capabilities available to Copilot, Claude Code, Codex, and detected VS Code forks. - **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:** 0.1.6 - **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 automatically installs package-supplied agent skills into multiple user-level AI-agent control surfaces. This occurs without an explicit setup command. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-10T17:56:43.996Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-10T17:57:26.283Z - **Download time:** 507 ms - **Static scan time:** 353 ms - **AI review time:** 41425 ms - **Total time:** 42287 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** npm postinstall automatically installs package-supplied agent skills into multiple user-level AI-agent control surfaces. This occurs without an explicit setup command. - **Trigger:** npm installation with lifecycle scripts enabled - **Impact:** Changes instructions and capabilities available to Copilot, Claude Code, Codex, and detected VS Code forks. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, src/setup.js, src/targets.js, src/promptfile.js, skills/remember/SKILL.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-10T17:57:26.283Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall setup symlinks/copies agent skills and writes VS Code prompt files - **Attack narrative:** On npm installation, the postinstall hook invokes setup. Setup detects and mutates several user-level agent instruction locations, including shared .agents, Claude Code, Codex, and VS Code-family prompt directories, by linking/copying package-controlled skills. These skills are then available to agents and include terminal/file-write operational instructions. Although no network exfiltration or remote code-loading was found, this is an unconsented install-time mutation of broad foreign AI-agent control surfaces. - **Rationale:** The package’s stated feature is implemented through an automatic postinstall mutation of several third-party/shared AI-agent skill locations. That concrete lifecycle control-surface write meets the publish-block boundary despite the absence of network exfiltration. - **Files touched:** ~/.agents/skills/{handoff,recall,remember}, ~/.claude/skills/{handoff,recall,remember}, ~/.codex/skills/{handoff,recall,remember}, \/prompts/{handoff,recall,remember}.prompt.md, ~/.agents/memory ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json invokes postinstall automatically., scripts/postinstall.js imports and runs setup during installation., src/setup.js creates/copies skills into detected agent directories., src/targets.js targets ~/.agents, ~/.claude, ~/.codex and VS Code/Copilot locations., Installed skills grant agent-mode terminal and file-write instructions. - **Evidence against:** No network client or exfiltration code found., No remote payload, eval, or shell execution path found., Git execution is limited to local git metadata queries. ## Public findings ### 1.
