## Verdict summary
**Soft block: AI-agent control surface** — Warn by default; block when configured. Unconsented modification of multiple AI-agent instruction/capability surfaces.

- **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:** 1.0.59
- **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 deploys bundled AI skills into the user's canonical agent directory and detected third-party agent skill directories. The installed skills become available after agent restart.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Installing the package automatically deploys bundled AI skills into the user's canonical agent directory and detected third-party agent skill directories. The installed skills become available after agent restart.

- **Trigger:** npm postinstall

- **Impact:** Unconsented modification of multiple AI-agent instruction/capability surfaces.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, install.js, assets/dws-skills.zip

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-20T11:02:05.408Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** extracts bundled skills and publishes them into broad AI-agent skill control surfaces

- **Attack narrative:** On npm installation, package.json invokes install.js. It extracts a bundled skill archive, installs it by default to ~/.agents/skills, detects numerous unrelated AI-agent installations, and publishes symlinks or copied skills into their skill directories. This changes behavior-bearing AI-agent control surfaces without an explicit user setup command; existing managed skill paths can be backed up and replaced.

- **Rationale:** This is concrete, install-time mutation of foreign and broad AI-agent control surfaces. The absence of network exfiltration does not mitigate that policy-triggering behavior.

- **Files touched:** assets/dws-skills.zip, vendor/dws, share/skills, ~/.agents/skills, ~/.claude/skills, ~/.codex/skills, ~/.cursor/skills

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 99.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** npm postinstall runs install.js automatically., Installer enumerates foreign AI-agent skill directories, including Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor., Default postinstall extracts the bundled skills and installs multi-skill payloads., It writes into ~/.agents/skills then links or copies skills into detected agent homes, replacing managed victims.

- **Evidence against:** No network client or remote payload download is present in the inspected JavaScript., The command wrapper executes only the bundled platform binary with user-supplied CLI arguments.
