Stable terminal UI for Codex and Claude Agent SDK

AI Security Review

scanned 26d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Installation mutates global Codex and Claude skill control surfaces without a user command. It also invokes pip to fetch and install Python dependencies into the user environment.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; source fingerprint signature matched known malicious package; routed for review

Trigger

npm postinstall during package installation

Impact

The package can persist package-supplied instructions in two AI-agent skill directories and expands the install-time supply chain with Python packages.

Mechanism

automatic global AI-agent skill deployment and user-level dependency installation

Attack narrative

Installing the package runs postinstall automatically. That hook copies its bundled skill trees into both global Codex and Claude skill directories, prunes files there, and writes a marker. It then probes for Python and invokes pip --user to install multiple dependencies. These actions occur without an explicit setup command and change broad AI-agent control surfaces plus the user-level dependency environment.

AI rationale

The automatic postinstall hook performs unconsented mutation of foreign AI-agent skill directories and installs additional dependencies. This is concrete install-hook abuse, not merely user-invoked setup.
