AI Security Review
scanned 4d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource inspection confirms first-party build-time setup that automatically replaces project agent instructions from a remote archive, so a behavior-specific warning is appropriate. The update is not directly run by the npm lifecycle hook, and the inspected source does not establish malicious archive content.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
The consumer runs the project's build script after the package has copied its build files into the project root.
Impact
The downloaded instructions may influence agent behavior in the consumer project.
Mechanism
The build script fetches the remote version and archive, then replaces AGENTS.md and the AGENTS directory without a separate consent check.
AI rationale
Source inspection confirms first-party build-time setup that automatically replaces project agent instructions from a remote archive, so a behavior-specific warning is appropriate. The update is not directly run by the npm lifecycle hook, and the inspected source does not establish malicious archive content.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 91.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The postinstall hook copies package files into the consumer project root, including the build script.
- When that build script runs, it fetches newer agent instructions and replaces the project-root AGENTS.md and AGENTS directory.
- The build script calls the agent-instruction update automatically, without a separate consent check.
Evidence against
- The agent-instruction update runs from the build script rather than directly from an npm lifecycle hook.
- The update is conditional on a newer remote version; no credential collection or transfer was identified in the inspected paths.
