The package can persist and update agent instructions in user-level Codex and Claude directories without an explicit setup command. - **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:** 1.6.62 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Installing the package automatically changes both Codex and Claude user skill control surfaces. Its runtime bridge also requests bypass-permissions operation for Claude sessions. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-29T22:59:21.427Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-29T23:00:21.834Z - **Download time:** 521 ms - **Static scan time:** 301 ms - **AI review time:** 59585 ms - **Total time:** 60407 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installing the package automatically changes both Codex and Claude user skill control surfaces. Its runtime bridge also requests bypass-permissions operation for Claude sessions. - **Trigger:** npm installation triggers postinstall; running the packaged client triggers the bridge. - **Impact:** The package can persist and update agent instructions in user-level Codex and Claude directories without an explicit setup command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, install-skills.mjs, bridge/claude-agent-sdk-bridge.mjs, skills/luna-loop/SKILL.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-29T23:00:21.834Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic cross-agent skill installation and permission-bypass preference. - **Attack narrative:** The package runs install-skills.mjs automatically during npm installation. That script copies its bundled skill into both Codex and Claude user skill directories, then removes target files that are no longer in the package copy. This is an unconsented install-time mutation of broad, foreign AI-agent control surfaces. Separately, the shipped Claude bridge initializes sessions with permission-skipping capability and attempts bypass-permissions mode. No source evidence established secret exfiltration, but the automatic persistence and control-surface mutation meet the install-hook abuse blocking rule. - **Rationale:** This release automatically writes and prunes user-level skills for two unrelated AI-agent platforms during postinstall, rather than requiring an explicit setup command. The added runtime permission-bypass behavior increases the impact of that injected control surface. - **Files touched:** skills/luna-loop/\*\*, $CODEX\_HOME/skills/luna-loop/\*\*, $CLAUDE\_CONFIG\_DIR/skills/luna-loop/\*\* ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The npm postinstall hook automatically runs an installer., The installer writes a supplied skill into both Codex and Claude user skill directories., Each install also recursively deletes target entries absent from the packaged skill, persisting package control over those agent surfaces., The runtime bridge explicitly prefers Claude's bypass-permissions mode and enables dangerous permission skipping. - **Evidence against:** No source-level credential exfiltration or operational remote endpoint was found., The bridge removes Anthropic API credential variables before spawning Claude., The manifest has no runtime dependency on another version of itself. ## Public findings ### 1.
