## Verdict summary
**Soft block: AI-agent control surface** — Warn by default; block when configured. A dependency install can add a foreign AI-agent executable and its transitive code to the user's global environment.

- **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:** 3.52.1
- **Selected version is latest:** Yes
- **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 this package can automatically install a separate global AI-agent CLI. This changes the user's global npm-managed command environment without an explicit setup command.

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:** Installing this package can automatically install a separate global AI-agent CLI. This changes the user's global npm-managed command environment without an explicit setup command.

- **Trigger:** npm installation of agents-chat-cli on a system without a detected supported AI CLI

- **Impact:** A dependency install can add a foreign AI-agent executable and its transitive code to the user's global environment.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, app/lib/kernel-setup.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-12T16:03:33.417Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** postinstall-triggered global installation of opencode-ai

- **Attack narrative:** During npm installation, the postinstall hook calls kernel setup. If it does not find one of several AI command-line tools, it executes npm install -g opencode-ai. This is an automatic lifecycle mutation of a separate global AI-agent control surface rather than a user-invoked setup action.

- **Rationale:** The source establishes an unconsented postinstall chain that installs a foreign global AI-agent package. The opt-out and detection guard do not change that the mutation occurs automatically for affected users.

- **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.js, app/lib/kernel-setup.js

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 96.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for policy risk:** The package declares an automatic postinstall hook., The postinstall hook invokes kernel setup during npm installation., When no supported AI CLI is found, kernel setup runs a global npm installation of the separate opencode-ai agent CLI.

- **Evidence against:** The install is skipped if a supported AI CLI is detected or the documented environment opt-out is set., No package-source credential harvesting or unrelated data exfiltration was found in the inspected lifecycle path.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to agents-chat-cli@3.52.1.

- Avoid installing agents-chat-cli@3.52.1. 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.
