It changes multiple foreign AI-agent control surfaces without an explicit user command or agent selection. - **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:** 2.1.0 - **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 invokes an automatic installer that populates project and user-global skill directories for every detected AI agent. It can replace existing skill directories with a symlink to the package's skill collection. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-01T01:55:07.041Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-01T01:56:42.461Z - **Download time:** 5607 ms - **Static scan time:** 12287 ms - **AI review time:** 77525 ms - **Total time:** 95420 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installing the package invokes an automatic installer that populates project and user-global skill directories for every detected AI agent. It can replace existing skill directories with a symlink to the package's skill collection. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall - **Impact:** It changes multiple foreign AI-agent control surfaces without an explicit user command or agent selection. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/install.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-01T01:56:42.461Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic broad AI-agent skill installation and directory replacement - **Attack narrative:** npm runs bin/install.js with --auto during postinstall. The installer enumerates installed AI agents and, for each detected one, installs all skills to both the current project's agent directory and the user's global agent directory. Where linking is enabled, it force-removes an existing target skill directory and replaces it with a symlink to this package. This is an unconsented, broad mutation of third-party AI-agent control surfaces. - **Rationale:** The automatic postinstall path broadly modifies foreign project and user-global AI-agent skill directories, including destructive replacement of existing directories. This meets the install-control-surface blocking policy. - **Files touched:** .claude/skills, .cursor/skills, .windsurf/skills, .github/skills, .agents/skills, .gemini/skills, .opencode/skills ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The package automatically runs its installer after npm installation., The installer detects several unrelated AI-agent installations and targets both consumer-project and user-global skill directories., Automatic mode installs the complete skill set for every detected agent without user selection., The installer can recursively delete existing agent skill directories before replacing them with a symlink. - **Evidence against:** No runtime dependency on another ani-skills release is declared., The inspected installer contains no external network request or credential exfiltration path. ## Public findings ### 1.
