AI Security Review

scanned 3h ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

LPM blocks this version under the AI-agent control-surface policy. Installing the dependency invokes a postinstall script that mutates AI-agent instruction files in the consumer project. This is an unconsented install-time write to a broad foreign AI-agent control surface.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.

Trigger

`npm install` or any dependency installation that runs lifecycle scripts.

Impact

Future AI-assisted work in the consumer project can be steered toward package-controlled instructions.

Mechanism

Postinstall appends or creates a package-authored AI-agent instruction block.

Policy narrative

During dependency installation, `scripts/postinstall.mjs` resolves the consumer project root, selects an existing `CLAUDE.md` or `AGENTS.md` (or creates `CLAUDE.md`), and appends a marked instruction block. The block tells future AI agents to read the installed package's `AGENTS.md`. This unconsented mutation occurs automatically during installation and targets broad project-level agent control files.

Rationale

The package contains a concrete, unconsented postinstall mutation of foreign project AI-agent instruction files. Benign UI bundle contents do not mitigate this lifecycle control-surface hijack.

Evidence

package.jsonscripts/postinstall.mjsdist/index.jsCLAUDE.md (consumer project root)AGENTS.md (consumer project root)

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Malicious at 98.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for policy block

`package.json` runs `postinstall` automatically on dependency installation.
`scripts/postinstall.mjs` identifies a consumer project through `INIT_CWD`/cwd.
It writes or appends package-authored instructions to the consumer root `CLAUDE.md` or `AGENTS.md`.
The injected block directs AI agents to follow `node_modules/artefact-design-system/AGENTS.md`.
The write is silent on failure and needs no explicit user command or consent.

Evidence against

No network clients, credential harvesting, shell execution, eval, or remote payload loading were found in inspected executable files.
`dist/index.js` is a React design-system bundle; inspected imports and code are UI-related.
The postinstall content is a visible marked block and avoids duplicate insertion.
