Unconsented mutation of a foreign AI-agent control-surface configuration. - **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:** 0.3.3 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Installation silently modifies Herdr’s user-level agent-sidebar configuration. The mutation is best-effort but is triggered automatically by npm postinstall. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-13T14:29:09.533Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-13T14:30:23.472Z - **Download time:** 507 ms - **Static scan time:** 377 ms - **AI review time:** 73054 ms - **Total time:** 73939 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installation silently modifies Herdr’s user-level agent-sidebar configuration. The mutation is best-effort but is triggered automatically by npm postinstall. - **Trigger:** npm installation with lifecycle scripts enabled - **Impact:** Unconsented mutation of a foreign AI-agent control-surface configuration. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.sh, scripts/install-herdr-config.py - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-13T14:30:23.472Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall executes a Python writer for Herdr config - **Attack narrative:** On installation, npm runs scripts/postinstall.sh, which invokes install-herdr-config.py. That script creates or merges ~/.config/herdr/config.toml to add dsh-grok-tui sidebar rows. Although the change is metric-display oriented and no exfiltration was found, it is an unconsented lifecycle-time write to a separate agent application’s configuration. - **Rationale:** This is concrete install-time mutation of a foreign AI-agent configuration, meeting the firewall block boundary despite its limited intended UI effect. - **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.sh, scripts/install-herdr-config.py, ~/.config/herdr/config.toml ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** npm postinstall invokes a Python config mutator automatically., The mutator writes ~/.config/herdr/config.toml, a separate agent UI’s configuration., It creates or changes sidebar rows without an explicit user command. - **Evidence against:** No credential exfiltration, remote payload download, or external network endpoint was found in the install path., The config content is limited to dsh usage-metric display rows. ## Public findings ### 1.
