It does not by itself establish malware intent. The CLI warns by default and blocks when configured for this policy. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. npm postinstall runs install.js, unpacks bundled skills, and writes them into the shared user agent skill store plus detected third-party agent skill directories. There is no consent prompt. Installed coding agents can load those skills after a normal package install. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-18T04:48:35.581Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-18T04:51:30.175Z - **Download time:** 2790 ms - **Static scan time:** 229 ms - **AI review time:** 171575 ms - **Total time:** 174594 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

There is no consent prompt. Installed coding agents can load those skills after a normal package install. - **Trigger:** npm install of dingtalk-workspace-cli, which runs the postinstall script. - **Impact:** Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Grok, and other detected agents can execute DingTalk-supplied skill instructions without an explicit setup command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, install.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-18T04:51:30.175Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** unconsented postinstall write of bundled skills into foreign and shared AI-agent skill directories - **Attack narrative:** On npm install, postinstall runs install.js with no consent prompt. The script unpacks bundled dws-skills.zip and always writes those skills into the shared ~/.agents/skills directory. It then walks a registry of dozens of third-party coding agents and, when their config parents exist, copies or links the same skills into those agents skill folders, including Claude Code and others. Universal agents that read the shared store still receive the payload through ~/.agents/skills. Installed agents can therefore load DingTalk-supplied skill instructions after a dependency install the user did not treat as agent configuration. - **Rationale:** The postinstall hook performs unconsented writes of bundled agent skills into the shared ~/.agents/skills store and into detected third-party agent skill directories, which is foreign and broad AI-agent control-surface mutation. The JS installer does not exfiltrate secrets, but that does not make the install-time hijack package-aligned or consented. - **Files touched:** install.js, assets/dws-skills.zip, share/skills, vendor/dws, ~/.agents/skills, ~/.claude/skills, ~/.dws/skills, ~/.dws/skills-state.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** package.json postinstall runs node install.js on every npm install., main() unpacks dws-skills.zip and installs skills with no prompt or skip flag., UPSTREAM\_AGENTS lists dozens of third-party agent skill paths, including Claude and Cursor., Detected non-universal agent homes get copied or linked bundled skills in their skill directories., Canonical ~/.agents/skills is created and filled unconditionally as a shared agent skill store., Written skill state records source npm-postinstall; DWS\_SKILL\_MODE only chooses mono versus multi. - **Evidence against:** The JavaScript installer has no HTTP client, eval, or credential collection., Platform archives are extracted only to place the dws binary in the package vendor directory., Per-agent copies skip missing parent directories, and managed skill names match DingTalk product modules. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to dingtalk-workspace-cli@1.0.60. - Avoid installing dingtalk-workspace-cli@1.0.60. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
