Global AI-agent control surfaces can be changed during dependency installation without an explicit affirmative response. - **Verdict:** AI-agent control-surface policy finding - **Product-default install policy:** Warn by default; block when configured - **Firewall policy:** Warn by default - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Soft block: AI-agent control surface - **Selected version:** 2.1.2 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This finding concerns changes to an AI agent's instructions or configuration without explicit user action. It does not by itself establish malware intent. The CLI warns by default and blocks when configured for this policy. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. The install hook can alter broad, user-level AI-agent instruction files. It changes future agent behavior to prioritize this package's tools. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-22T19:45:15.742Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-22T19:49:53.672Z - **Download time:** 1258 ms - **Static scan time:** 6600 ms - **AI review time:** 270070 ms - **Total time:** 277930 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** The install hook can alter broad, user-level AI-agent instruction files. It changes future agent behavior to prioritize this package's tools. - **Trigger:** npm installation runs the postinstall hook; pressing Enter at its update prompt accepts the change. - **Impact:** Global AI-agent control surfaces can be changed during dependency installation without an explicit affirmative response. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-22T19:49:53.672Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook finds instruction files below the user home directory and appends or replaces CodeSeeker guidance using synchronous file writes. - **Attack narrative:** Installing the package automatically launches a postinstall hook that searches multiple global AI-agent instruction locations. Its update prompt accepts an empty response as approval, then writes mandatory CodeSeeker guidance into existing files. This persists a package-selected instruction across future projects and agents. - **Rationale:** The automatic lifecycle hook modifies a foreign, broad AI-agent control surface, and its default-empty response authorizes the write. This is concrete install-hook-based AI-agent control hijacking. - **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** The package registers an automatic postinstall lifecycle hook., The postinstall script enumerates user-home AI-agent instruction files, including global Claude, Cursor, and Copilot locations., During installation, an empty response is treated as approval and the script writes guidance into the selected agent files., The injected guidance mandates that AI assistants use CodeSeeker tools as their primary code-discovery method. - **Evidence against:** The script skips prompts in non-interactive environments., The script displays the files and asks a visible question before modifying existing files. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to codeseeker@2.1.2. - Avoid installing codeseeker@2.1.2. 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. ## Public findings ### 1.
