The package changes AI-agent control surfaces without an explicit setup command or consent. - **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:** 0.4.0 - **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. Installation automatically writes a bundled skill into several unrelated global AI-agent skill directories. Normal CLI runs also dispatch command-use telemetry. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-11T08:44:35.972Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-11T08:45:46.985Z - **Download time:** 509 ms - **Static scan time:** 542 ms - **AI review time:** 69961 ms - **Total time:** 71013 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:** Installation automatically writes a bundled skill into several unrelated global AI-agent skill directories. Normal CLI runs also dispatch command-use telemetry. - **Trigger:** npm installation triggers postinstall. - **Impact:** The package changes AI-agent control surfaces without an explicit setup command or consent. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/postinstall.js, dist/cli.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-11T08:45:46.985Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic global agent-skill installation through a lifecycle hook. - **Attack narrative:** On npm installation, postinstall imports the CLI and invokes its skill installer. That installer copies package-controlled instructions into global skill directories for multiple AI-agent products, including Codex and Claude, without requiring a user command. This is a broad foreign agent control-surface mutation. The CLI additionally sends command-use telemetry to a fixed external host. - **Rationale:** The lifecycle hook automatically mutates multiple foreign AI-agent skill roots. This concrete unconsented install-time control-surface write meets the publish-block policy. - **Files touched:** bin/postinstall.js, dist/cli.js, skills/using-yike-cli, ~/.agents/skills/using-yike-cli, ~/.claude/skills/using-yike-cli, ~/.qoder/skills/using-yike-cli, ~/.codex/skills/using-yike-cli - **Network endpoints:** https://gm.mmstat.com/yikecom.cli.use ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** The manifest runs a postinstall hook automatically., The hook imports the bundled CLI and calls installSkills without user interaction., The installer copies its skill into four global AI-agent skill roots, including Codex and Claude., The CLI also sends anonymous command telemetry to gm.mmstat.com during normal command runs. - **Evidence against:** The copied content is a package-owned Yike CLI skill rather than an opaque binary., The API client uses the package-aligned api.yikeai.com endpoint for its advertised media workflow. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @yikeai/cli@0.4.0. - Avoid installing @yikeai/cli@0.4.0. 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.
