Unconsented agent-control configuration and package-code launch registration in the consumer workspace. - **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:** 1.5.0 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Installation silently modifies the consuming repository's Copilot instruction and MCP control surfaces. The MCP configuration launches package code in the workspace. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-20T16:15:05.270Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-20T16:17:03.685Z - **Download time:** 510 ms - **Static scan time:** 1614 ms - **AI review time:** 116289 ms - **Total time:** 118415 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installation silently modifies the consuming repository's Copilot instruction and MCP control surfaces. The MCP configuration launches package code in the workspace. - **Trigger:** npm install of the package in a non-production repository - **Impact:** Unconsented agent-control configuration and package-code launch registration in the consumer workspace. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, workspace/.vscode/mcp.json, workspace/.github/AGENTS.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-20T16:17:03.685Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall scaffolds .github agent files and .vscode MCP configuration - **Attack narrative:** The automatic postinstall hook resolves the consumer project directory, creates or merges its VS Code MCP configuration, and registers a Node command that loads copilot-framework. It also copies package-supplied Copilot instruction and skills content into the consumer's .github directory, then ignores these artifacts in git. These mutations happen without an explicit setup command or consent prompt. - **Rationale:** This is a concrete unconsented postinstall mutation of foreign AI-agent control surfaces, meeting the blocking policy. No separate exfiltration chain was needed for this verdict. - **Files touched:** .vscode/mcp.json, .github/AGENTS.md, .github/copilot-instructions.md, .github/skills/, .gitignore, context/, .ai-context/setup-telemetry.jsonl ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs scripts/postinstall.js automatically after installation., Postinstall targets INIT\_CWD/current directory and proceeds outside CI/production., It writes .vscode/mcp.json configuring Node to load this package., It copies package-owned AGENTS/instructions and skills into the target .github directory., It adds those agent-control files and MCP config to the target .gitignore. - **Evidence against:** No install-time network request or credential exfiltration was found., Azure DevOps requests are runtime functionality and require caller-supplied environment configuration. ## Public findings ### 1.
