AI Security Review

scanned 25d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Installing the package automatically writes its bundled skill into detected AI-agent control directories and can modify the active shell startup file. This occurs without an explicit user command or agent selection.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; source fingerprint signature matched known malicious package; routed for review

Trigger

npm postinstall during package installation

Impact

The package can alter instructions available to multiple installed AI tools and establish a shell completion startup hook.

Mechanism

automatic broad AI-agent skill deployment and shell startup modification

Policy narrative

On installation, npm runs the package postinstall hook. The hook invokes `skill install`, which enumerates known AI-agent directories, discovers additional agent skill folders, and copies package-controlled instructions into them. That command also registers shell completion in the current shell startup file. The mutation is automatic and broad rather than a user-invoked, package-owned setup action.

AI rationale

This is unconsented postinstall mutation of a broad foreign AI-agent control surface. The absence of observed exfiltration does not neutralize the automatic cross-agent instruction deployment.
