Unconsented agent control-surface modification; bundled instructions and scripts become available to multiple AI-agent environments. - **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:** 1.0.57 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. On npm postinstall, the package extracts a bundled skills archive and mutates broad, foreign AI-agent skill directories in the user home. It does so without an explicit setup command or opt-in. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-06T13:44:48.623Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-06T13:45:32.139Z - **Download time:** 1518 ms - **Static scan time:** 56 ms - **AI review time:** 41941 ms - **Total time:** 43516 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** On npm postinstall, the package extracts a bundled skills archive and mutates broad, foreign AI-agent skill directories in the user home. It does so without an explicit setup command or opt-in. - **Trigger:** npm install - **Impact:** Unconsented agent control-surface modification; bundled instructions and scripts become available to multiple AI-agent environments. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, install.js, assets/dws-skills.zip, bin/dws.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-06T13:45:32.139Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall extraction and overwrite of cross-vendor agent skill roots - **Attack narrative:** Installing the npm package invokes install.js. It extracts bundled skills, always removes and replaces ~/.agents/skills/dws, and conditionally removes and replaces dws skill directories in numerous unrelated agent products whenever their parent directories exist. This install-time, cross-vendor mutation exposes bundled agent instructions and Python scripts without a user-requested setup action. - **Rationale:** This is a concrete unconsented postinstall mutation of a broad foreign AI-agent control surface, which meets the blocking policy. No network exfiltration was found in the inspected JavaScript installer, but it is not required for this verdict. - **Files touched:** package.json, install.js, assets/dws-skills.zip, vendor/dws, share/skills, ~/.agents/skills/dws, ~/.claude/skills/dws, ~/.cursor/skills/dws, ~/.gemini/skills/dws, ~/.codex/skills/dws, ~/.github/skills/dws ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs \`node install.js\` in postinstall., install.js unconditionally installs skills to \`~/.agents/skills/dws\`., install.js also targets 15 pre-existing third-party agent skill roots, including Claude, Cursor, Gemini, Codex, GitHub, and Cline., The installer deletes each target \`dws\` directory before copying bundled archive content., assets/dws-skills.zip contains executable Python helper scripts and agent instruction files. - **Evidence against:** Installer uses only bundled archives; no installer network endpoint or remote payload fetch is present., bin/dws.js only launches the locally extracted vendor binary when explicitly invoked., The sampled bundled SKILL.md documents confirmation requirements for dangerous CLI operations. ## Public findings ### 1.
