AI Security Review

scanned 2h ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

LPM blocks this version under the AI-agent control-surface policy. Installing the dependency invokes a postinstall script that changes AI-agent instruction files in the consumer project. It preferentially appends to `CLAUDE.md`, otherwise creates/appends `AGENTS.md`, directing agents to package-controlled instructions.

Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source fingerprint signature matched known malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
npm install of this package as a dependency
Impact
Can alter downstream AI-agent behavior across the consumer project without an explicit user command.
Mechanism
unconsented postinstall mutation of foreign AI-agent control files
Policy narrative
On dependency installation, `scripts/postinstall.mjs` identifies the consumer project via `INIT_CWD` or the current directory. It then selects the consumer's `CLAUDE.md` if present, otherwise `AGENTS.md`, and appends or creates a marked block instructing agents to read package-supplied instructions under `node_modules`. This is automatic postinstall mutation of a foreign project-level AI-agent control surface; no network or secondary payload is needed for the control-hijack behavior.
Rationale
The package performs an unconsented install-time write to consumer-owned AI-agent instruction files. This concrete behavior meets the blocking policy despite the absence of exfiltration or remote execution.

Decision evidence

public snapshot
AI called this Malicious at 99.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for policy block
  • `package.json` runs `node scripts/postinstall.mjs` automatically on install.
  • `scripts/postinstall.mjs` targets consumer-root `CLAUDE.md` or `AGENTS.md`.
  • It creates or appends a package-supplied agent-instruction block without consent.
  • `INIT_CWD`/`cwd` selects the installing project and only checks for its `package.json`.
Evidence against
  • No network, subprocess, eval, credential harvesting, or payload loading is present in inspected files.
  • `dist/index.js` is a UI component bundle and contains no matching execution primitives.
  • The lifecycle script is idempotent for its marker and suppresses errors.
