A dependency installation can alter multiple AI-agent control surfaces and cause an additional MCP program to be installed and configured without an explicit setup command. - **Verdict:** AI-agent control-surface policy finding - **Product-default install policy:** Warn by default; block when configured - **Firewall policy:** Warn by default - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Soft block: AI-agent control surface - **Selected version:** 3.2.3 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This finding concerns changes to an AI agent's instructions or configuration without explicit user action. It does not by itself establish malware intent. The CLI warns by default and blocks when configured for this policy. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Installing the package automatically changes user-scope AI-client skill directories and MCP control configuration. It also installs and registers a separate global MCP package unless the installer environment opt-out is supplied. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-22T01:56:27.394Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-22T02:05:27.697Z - **Download time:** 760 ms - **Static scan time:** 406 ms - **AI review time:** 539135 ms - **Total time:** 540303 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

It also installs and registers a separate global MCP package unless the installer environment opt-out is supplied. - **Trigger:** npm automatically runs the package postinstall hook. - **Impact:** A dependency installation can alter multiple AI-agent control surfaces and cause an additional MCP program to be installed and configured without an explicit setup command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install.js, dist/installer.js, dist/targets.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-22T02:05:27.697Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook invokes the shared installer, selects all supported targets by default, writes skills, runs a global npm install, and adds MCP launch entries to client configuration files. - **Attack narrative:** A normal npm install triggers scripts/install.js, which calls the lifecycle installer. That installer defaults to every supported AI-client target, writes user-scope skills, installs @wowok/agent-mcp globally, and registers MCP launch entries in client configuration files. The behavior is automatic rather than an explicit user setup command. - **Rationale:** The automatic postinstall hook performs broad, foreign AI-agent configuration mutation and installs an additional global package. This is a concrete install-time control-surface attack under the launcher isolation policy. - **Files touched:** ~/.claude.json, ~/.codex/config.toml, scripts/install.js, dist/installer.js, dist/targets.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** The package declares an automatic postinstall lifecycle hook., The lifecycle wrapper loads and invokes the installer during that hook., On postinstall, the installer resolves the default target set and writes skills into user-scope client roots., Unless an environment opt-out is set, the hook installs a global MCP package and registers it in client configuration files., The default target set contains every supported client, including Codex configuration paths. - **Evidence against:** No credential collection or direct data-exfiltration sink was identified in the inspected lifecycle path., The MCP registration code avoids creating a config for an undetected client when its config file is absent. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @wowok/skills@3.2.3. - Avoid installing @wowok/skills@3.2.3. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
