AI Security Review

scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The package has a concrete automatic postinstall hook that invokes an AI-agent skills synchronization command. This is unconsented install-hook abuse of a foreign control surface.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

npm installation, via the postinstall lifecycle hook.

Impact

Unconsented agent-control configuration mutation during dependency installation.

Mechanism

Automatic external AI-agent skills synchronization.

Attack narrative

The manifest executes `prisma skills sync` automatically after installation and includes Prisma as a dependency. This is an unconsented install-time action targeting an AI-agent skills surface, rather than a user-invoked setup flow. The command suppresses failure, making the installation appear successful even when the side effect cannot be verified.

AI rationale

The package has a concrete automatic postinstall hook that invokes an AI-agent skills synchronization command. This is unconsented install-hook abuse of a foreign control surface.

Evidence

package.json

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Malicious at 95.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for block

Installation automatically runs Prisma's skills synchronization command.
The invoked Prisma CLI is supplied by this package's dependencies, so the lifecycle command can run during installation.

Evidence against

No runtime self-dependency is declared.
Elia's own MCP configuration writes are initiated through explicit interactive choices.
