Package-authored instructions can persist in two user agent environments 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:** 1.7.9 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Installing the package automatically replaces skills in the user's Codex and Claude control directories. Its bridge also attempts to use Claude permission bypass. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-31T22:05:33.070Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-31T22:07:22.916Z - **Download time:** 506 ms - **Static scan time:** 297 ms - **AI review time:** 109042 ms - **Total time:** 109846 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installing the package automatically replaces skills in the user's Codex and Claude control directories. Its bridge also attempts to use Claude permission bypass. - **Trigger:** npm installation runs postinstall. - **Impact:** Package-authored instructions can persist in two user agent environments without an explicit setup command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, install-skills.mjs, bridge/claude-agent-sdk-bridge.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-31T22:07:22.916Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic cross-agent skill deployment and permission-bypass preference. - **Attack narrative:** On installation, npm launches install-skills.mjs. It copies the bundled luna-loop skill into both the user's Codex and Claude skill locations and prunes files there, creating an unconsented persistent cross-agent control-surface change. The bundled bridge additionally attempts to select bypassPermissions for Claude sessions. No network theft was found, but the automatic broad agent mutation is concrete. - **Rationale:** This is an unconsented postinstall mutation of foreign AI-agent control surfaces, compounded by code that prefers permission bypass. The behavior meets the install-control-surface block policy even without observed exfiltration. - **Files touched:** install-skills.mjs, 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 the skill installer., The installer copies package-controlled files into both Codex and Claude user skill directories., The installer also recursively removes destination items absent from its bundled skill., The Claude bridge prefers a permission-bypass mode when a session starts. - **Evidence against:** The inspected installer contains no network request or credential-exfiltration code., The postinstall payload is readable JavaScript rather than an opaque downloaded script. ## Public findings ### 1.
