## Verdict summary
**Soft block: AI-agent control surface** — Warn by default; block when configured. A dependency installation can alter the instructions and capabilities available to AI tooling in the consumer project.

- **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:** 2.0.1
- **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 automatically writes bundled agent skills into consumer AI-agent control directories. The default target is the consumer project's .claude directory.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Installing the package automatically writes bundled agent skills into consumer AI-agent control directories. The default target is the consumer project's .claude directory.

- **Trigger:** npm installation invokes postinstall.

- **Impact:** A dependency installation can alter the instructions and capabilities available to AI tooling in the consumer project.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, scripts/install.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-30T18:48:43.139Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Automatic copying of skills and agents into AI-agent directories.

- **Attack narrative:** The package declares a postinstall hook that calls its installer with .claude as the default target. The installer resolves the consumer project directory and copies its bundled skills and agents into .claude, with alternate .agents and .github targets and overwrite support. This changes a foreign AI-agent control surface during dependency installation without an explicit user command.

- **Rationale:** This is unconsented postinstall mutation of broad AI-agent control surfaces in the consumer project. No separate network or credential-theft behavior is required to establish the install-time control-surface risk.

- **Files touched:** .claude/skills, .claude/agents, .agents/skills, .agents/agents, .github/skills, .github/agents

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 97.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** The manifest runs a postinstall script automatically., Postinstall defaults to installing into .claude without prompting., The installer targets Claude, OpenCode, and GitHub Copilot control directories., It copies bundled skills and agents and can overwrite destination entries.

- **Evidence against:** No source code network requests, subprocess execution, or credential harvesting were found., The Python finding is a readable test fixture, not a hidden payload.
