It also installs Python dependencies into the user's environment. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall during package installation - **Impact:** Package-controlled instructions and code are placed into broad AI-agent control surfaces without an explicit user command; existing skill files may be deleted. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, install-skills.mjs, prepare-search-deps.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-05T06:36:25.284Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** automatic cross-agent skill deployment and user-level pip installation - **Attack narrative:** On installation, npm runs the package's postinstall hook. That hook copies package-supplied skills into both Codex and Claude configuration trees and prunes files from those targets. It then runs pip with --user to install additional dependencies. This is an unconsented install-time mutation of broad AI-agent control surfaces and the user environment. - **Rationale:** The lifecycle hook makes broad AI-agent configuration changes and user-level dependency installation automatically. This meets the install-hook abuse blocking policy even though no direct credential exfiltration was found. - **Files touched:** ~/.codex/skills/luna-loop, ~/.codex/skills/insane-search, ~/.claude/skills/luna-loop, ~/.claude/skills/insane-search ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The automatic postinstall runs two package-controlled scripts., The installer copies bundled skills into both Codex and Claude user configuration directories., It removes destination entries absent from the package source, modifying existing agent skill trees., The postinstall also invokes pip to install Python packages into the user's environment. - **Evidence against:** No credential collection or outbound exfiltration was found in the inspected lifecycle scripts., The Claude bridge removes Anthropic credentials from its child environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
