A package installation can place a downloaded executable and globally install agent instructions affecting supported AI-agent tools. - **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:** 0.2.6 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Installing the package runs a downloader and can automatically install a global agent skill in an interactive terminal. This mutates a broad AI-agent control surface without an explicit user command or confirmation. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-31T13:38:25.280Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-31T13:40:10.197Z - **Download time:** 768 ms - **Static scan time:** 89 ms - **AI review time:** 104059 ms - **Total time:** 104917 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installing the package runs a downloader and can automatically install a global agent skill in an interactive terminal. This mutates a broad AI-agent control surface without an explicit user command or confirmation. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall in an interactive terminal, or installation with VOLC\_FLINK\_INSTALL\_SKILLS enabled. - **Impact:** A package installation can place a downloaded executable and globally install agent instructions affecting supported AI-agent tools. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, npm/bin/install.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-31T13:40:10.197Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Lifecycle downloader plus global npx-based agent-skill installation. - **Attack narrative:** The postinstall hook downloads and enables a platform executable. In interactive installs it then invokes npx to copy a companion skill globally; a non-interactive environment variable path defaults to the universal agent target. This is an unconsented lifecycle mutation of a broad AI-agent control surface, compounded by executable download without cryptographic integrity verification. - **Rationale:** The automatic postinstall hook both installs a remotely downloaded executable and can globally install agent skills without an explicit setup command. That concrete lifecycle control-surface mutation meets the publish-block policy. - **Files touched:** npm/bin/install.js, bin/volc-flink, skills/byted-serverlessflink-volc-flink - **Network endpoints:** lf3-static.bytednsdoc.com, skills.volces.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The manifest runs npm/bin/install.js automatically after installation., The installer downloads an executable, makes it executable, and performs no cryptographic integrity check., In an interactive install, the lifecycle script automatically starts companion skill installation without a confirmation prompt., The installer invokes npx skills add globally and targets the universal agent set when explicitly enabled non-interactively. - **Evidence against:** Skill installation is skipped in non-interactive environments unless an environment variable opts in., The normal skill source is bundled with the package and its version is checked., No package self-dependency or credential-harvesting code was found. ## Public findings ### 1.
