The package changes an AI-agent control surface without an explicit user 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:** 2.0.3 - **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 populates an AI-agent configuration directory in the consumer project. A global install instead writes under the user's home directory. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-09T08:17:28.559Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-09T08:18:29.606Z - **Download time:** 506 ms - **Static scan time:** 191 ms - **AI review time:** 60348 ms - **Total time:** 61047 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:** Installing the package automatically populates an AI-agent configuration directory in the consumer project. A global install instead writes under the user's home directory. - **Trigger:** npm installation, including postinstall execution - **Impact:** The package changes an AI-agent control surface without an explicit user command or consent. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, scripts/install.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-09T08:18:29.606Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic copying of packaged agent and skill definitions into .claude - **Attack narrative:** The package declares postinstall, which calls its installer automatically. That installer selects the consumer project's .claude directory by default and copies its bundled skills and agents there; global npm installs target the user's home directory. This is an unconsented install-time mutation of an AI-agent control surface. - **Rationale:** The automatic lifecycle hook writes package-authored agent definitions into a consumer or home AI-agent directory. This meets the blocking policy for unconsented postinstall mutation of a foreign or broad AI-agent control surface. - **Files touched:** .claude/skills, .claude/agents, ~/.claude/skills, ~/.claude/agents ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** The manifest automatically runs a postinstall script., The postinstall script installs into .claude without asking the user., The installer targets the consuming project or, for global installs, the user home directory., The installer copies the package's skills and agents into that AI-agent control directory. - **Evidence against:** No network, credential harvesting, shell execution, or self-dependency was found in the executable scripts., The flagged Python file is a plain test fixture with an intentional failing assertion, not a payload. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to agile-sddf@2.0.3. - Avoid installing agile-sddf@2.0.3. 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.
