Installed AI coding agents can load these skill files after restart and change their behavior without the user opting in. - **Verdict:** AI-agent control-surface policy finding - **Product-default install policy:** Warn by default; block when configured - **Firewall policy:** Warn by default - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Soft block: AI-agent control surface - **Selected version:** 1.0.62 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This finding concerns changes to an AI agent's instructions or configuration without explicit user action. 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. On npm install, postinstall runs install.js, unpacks bundled agent skills, and writes them into the home-directory skill folders of many third-party AI agents. Detection is only whether a parent config folder exists; there is no user prompt. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-18T04:48:35.331Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-18T04:51:35.795Z - **Download time:** 3043 ms - **Static scan time:** 226 ms - **AI review time:** 177194 ms - **Total time:** 180464 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

Detection is only whether a parent config folder exists; there is no user prompt. - **Trigger:** npm install of dingtalk-workspace-cli, which runs the postinstall script. - **Impact:** Installed AI coding agents can load these skill files after restart and change their behavior without the user opting in. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, install.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-18T04:51:35.795Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** unconsented postinstall write of bundled skills into foreign agent skill directories - **Attack narrative:** On install, npm runs install.js. That script unpacks assets/dws-skills.zip and copies product skills into ~/.agents/skills, then into any detected third-party agent skill directory such as ~/.claude/skills, ~/.cursor/skills, and ~/.codex/skills. There is no consent prompt and no skip switch. After the user restarts an agent, those files can change what the agent does. - **Rationale:** postinstall runs install.js, which writes bundled skills into many third-party agent skill directories without consent. That is unconsented install-time mutation of a foreign, broad AI-agent control surface. - **Files touched:** install.js, assets/dws-skills.zip, ~/.agents/skills, ~/.claude/skills, ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.codex/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, install.js lists dozens of third-party agent skill folders, including Claude, Cursor, Codex, and Grok, postinstall main() unpacks bundled skills and installs them with no consent prompt or skip flag, skills are written into ~/.agents/skills and into every detected agent home, managed skill state records source as npm-postinstall - **Evidence against:** installer JavaScript has no HTTP client or remote download; GitHub URLs appear only in package metadata, platform zip and tar.gz files match the CLI binary map rather than a second hidden payload channel, publication is limited to DWS-managed skill names plus a canonical dws skill, not wholesale deletion of unrelated user skills ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to dingtalk-workspace-cli@1.0.62. - Avoid installing dingtalk-workspace-cli@1.0.62. 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.
