AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package performs the policy-defined blocking behavior: an npm postinstall modifies multiple foreign AI-agent skill roots by default. The lack of credential theft does not remove the confirmed control-surface hijack.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
npm postinstall
Impact
Bundled instructions become active in installed AI-agent environments and can override same-named skill links.
Mechanism
Automatic creation and forceful replacement of AI-agent skill symlinks
Policy narrative
On npm installation, the postinstall script imports the skill installer by default. That installer copies the bundled pack into the user's Clawd directory, creates skill directories for generic agents, Claude, and Codex, then runs shell commands that use forceful symbolic-link replacement for every bundled skill. This is an unconsented install-time mutation of broad, foreign AI-agent control surfaces.
AI rationale
The package performs the policy-defined blocking behavior: an npm postinstall modifies multiple foreign AI-agent skill roots by default. The lack of credential theft does not remove the confirmed control-surface hijack.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI identified this as a dangerous AI-agent capability at 98.0% confidence with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for policy risk
- The manifest runs a postinstall script automatically.
- The postinstall path installs bundled skills unless an opt-out environment variable is set.
- The installer targets Codex, Claude, and generic agent skill directories in the user home directory.
- It creates those directories and force-replaces skill symlinks through a shell command.
Evidence against
- The default lifecycle path copies bundled local files; no credential harvesting or credential exfiltration was found in that path.
- The external skill seeding and shell installers require the separate full-install flow or explicit user execution.

Affected versions and remediation
This report applies to clawd-go@1.0.6.

- Avoid installing clawd-go@1.0.6. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies.
- Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe.
- If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment.
