The package can persist package-authored instructions in AI-agent skill directories without an explicit user 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:** 1.7.60 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. npm installation silently installs package-controlled skills into both Codex and Claude user control surfaces. It also removes stale files in those destinations and installs Python dependencies. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-05T05:55:56.334Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-05T05:57:04.759Z - **Download time:** 1524 ms - **Static scan time:** 370 ms - **AI review time:** 66531 ms - **Total time:** 68425 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** npm installation silently installs package-controlled skills into both Codex and Claude user control surfaces. It also removes stale files in those destinations and installs Python dependencies. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall during package installation - **Impact:** The package can persist package-authored instructions in AI-agent skill directories without an explicit user setup command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, install-skills.mjs, prepare-search-deps.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-05T05:57:04.759Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic cross-agent skill deployment and user-level pip installation - **Attack narrative:** Installing the package runs a postinstall hook. That hook copies its two skills into the default Codex and Claude user skill directories, pruning files from those directories, so future agent sessions load package-controlled instructions. The same automatic path runs pip with --user to install additional Python packages. This is an unconsented, broad AI-agent control-surface mutation rather than an explicit user-invoked setup action. - **Rationale:** The automatic lifecycle hook writes and prunes skills in both Codex and Claude user directories, meeting the install-time AI-agent control-surface abuse policy. The additional user-level pip installation increases the install-time supply-chain impact. - **Files touched:** ~/.codex/skills/luna-loop, ~/.codex/skills/insane-search, ~/.claude/skills/luna-loop, ~/.claude/skills/insane-search ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** Installation automatically runs the skill installer., The installer targets both Codex and Claude user skill directories., It copies package-provided skills and deletes destination entries absent from the package., Installation also invokes pip to add Python packages to the user environment. - **Evidence against:** No runtime self-dependency is declared., The inspected lifecycle scripts contain no direct secret collection or explicit exfiltration endpoint. ## Public findings ### 1.
