Future agent sessions can load package-supplied instructions and launch the registered MCP server. - **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:** 3.2.8 - **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. Automatic npm postinstall modifies user-level control surfaces of multiple foreign AI agents. It installs skill instructions and registers an MCP launcher without requiring an explicit setup command. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-30T16:05:20.974Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-30T16:07:11.833Z - **Download time:** 1286 ms - **Static scan time:** 433 ms - **AI review time:** 109139 ms - **Total time:** 110859 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Automatic npm postinstall modifies user-level control surfaces of multiple foreign AI agents. It installs skill instructions and registers an MCP launcher without requiring an explicit setup command. - **Trigger:** npm installation runs the postinstall hook. - **Impact:** Future agent sessions can load package-supplied instructions and launch the registered MCP server. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install.js, dist/installer.js, dist/targets.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-30T16:07:11.833Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The lifecycle handler defaults to all client targets, copies package skills into their user directories, and writes MCP configuration for detected clients. - **Attack narrative:** Installing the package activates its postinstall script, which calls the shared lifecycle handler. With default settings, every registered client is selected and skills are written into user-level agent directories. The same lifecycle also registers an MCP launcher in detected clients' configuration files. Presence checks and preservation of disabled entries limit some writes, but do not provide affirmative consent for broad foreign-agent setup. - **Rationale:** Source establishes unconsented postinstall mutation of broad foreign AI-agent control surfaces, meeting the supplied blocking policy. Package-aligned functionality and partial configuration guards do not remove that automatic mutation. - **Files touched:** SKILL.md, .codex/config.toml, .claude.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** package.json automatically runs scripts/install.js after installation; that script invokes runLifecycle., The postinstall handler installs skills into user-level agent directories without an affirmative setup gate., Target selection defaults to every registered client., The installer writes package skill content into SKILL.md files, including existing files whose contents differ., Targets include Codex user skills and its config.toml; the installer appends an MCP command registration. - **Evidence against:** MCP registration checks client presence and preserves existing remote registrations and disabled settings., The behavior matches the package's agent setup purpose, but still automatically modifies foreign agent control surfaces. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @wowok/skills@3.2.8. - Avoid installing @wowok/skills@3.2.8. 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.
