## Verdict summary
**Soft block: AI-agent control surface** — Warn by default; block when configured. Persistent AI-agent behavior modification across installed tools.

- **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:** 0.0.2
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. npm install silently modifies detected Claude, Codex, Cursor, Cline, and other AI-agent skill directories. This injects the package's command-routing instructions into broad, pre-existing agent control surfaces.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** npm install silently modifies detected Claude, Codex, Cursor, Cline, and other AI-agent skill directories. This injects the package's command-routing instructions into broad, pre-existing agent control surfaces.

- **Trigger:** npm install / postinstall

- **Impact:** Persistent AI-agent behavior modification across installed tools.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, skill/SKILL.md, site-meta.json

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-08T13:16:09.213Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** unconsented cross-agent skill installation

- **Attack narrative:** On npm postinstall, the package enumerates existing AI coding-tool roots and copies its bundled skill and references into each matching tool's skills directory, creating a version marker. This occurs automatically, spans unrelated vendor control surfaces, and changes agent instructions without an explicit user setup command.

- **Rationale:** The install hook concretely performs unconsented, broad foreign AI-agent control-surface writes. The absence of lifecycle network exfiltration does not remove this policy-defined blocking behavior.

- **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.js, skill/SKILL.md, skill/reference/, site-meta.json, ~/.claude/skills/cbs-cainiao-merchant-cli/, ~/.codex/skills/cbs-cainiao-merchant-cli/, ~/.cursor/skills/cbs-cainiao-merchant-cli/

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 99.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** package.json runs scripts/postinstall.js on every install., scripts/postinstall.js detects ten unrelated AI-tool home directories., It copies bundled SKILL.md/reference into each detected tool's skills directory without consent., It creates persistent .skill-version markers and suppresses write failures.

- **Evidence against:** Postinstall performs no network request and only checks whether an API key exists., dist API requests target the declared cainiao.4px.com service and use user-configured credentials.

## Public findings

### 1. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/cbs-cainiao-merchant-cli@0.0.2/package.json>)

```json
scripts.postinstall = node scripts/postinstall.js
```

### 3. Low: Non Install Lifecycle Scripts

Manifest entrypoint contains risky behavior absent from dist/build output.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
Manifest entrypoint (scripts.postinstall) carries capability families absent from dist/build output: environment+network, execution+network
L25: import { fileURLToPath } from 'url';
L26: import { execSync } from 'child_process';
L27: 
L28: const __dirname = dirname(fileURLToPath(import.meta.url));
L29: const skillSource = join(__dirname, '..', 'skill', 'SKILL.md');
...
L41: env: 'prod',

Source creates an unconsented AI-agent control surface through install-time mutation or a default unauthenticated remote skill channel.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L13: existsSync,
L14: mkdirSync,
L15: copyFileSync,
L16: cpSync,
L17: openSync,
