AI Security Review
scanned 8d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource confirms automatic installation and pruning of package-owned skills in user-level agent directories, which warrants a warning under the agent extension lifecycle policy. The bridge’s separate permission RPC does not establish an automatic settings mutation or a concrete attack.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
Installing the package through npm, which runs its postinstall hook.
Impact
The installation changes which skills are available to the user’s agents and can remove custom files within those two skill directories. This is a package-owned agent extension setup with unresolved user consent, so it warrants a warning.
Mechanism
The installer copies the bundled luna-loop and insane-search skills into the user skill directories, then removes destination entries missing from the corresponding package skill tree.
AI rationale
Source confirms automatic installation and pruning of package-owned skills in user-level agent directories, which warrants a warning under the agent extension lifecycle policy. The bridge’s separate permission RPC does not establish an automatic settings mutation or a concrete attack.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 90.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The npm postinstall hook runs the skill installer and a Python dependency preparation script.
- The installer targets user-level Codex and Claude skill directories, using their standard home paths unless environment overrides are set.
- On postinstall, the installer copies two bundled skills and prunes destination entries missing from the package’s copies.
- The search skill identifies itself as a bundled port; this supports a package-owned extension setup finding.
- The bridge’s settings helper resolves user, project, or local Claude settings paths; its permission update is dispatched through a separate permissions RPC.
Evidence against
- The reviewed postinstall skill installer does not write Claude settings; the bridge permission update has a separate RPC trigger.
- The installer copies package-bundled skills, and the inspected skill source describes a package-aligned web access capability.
