It can change a foreign AI-agent skill control surface without the installer's explicit approval. - **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:** 0.1.4 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Installing the package automatically invokes a third-party skill synchronization command. Failures are hidden, making the install-time mutation non-transparent. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-30T22:08:54.278Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-30T22:09:44.699Z - **Download time:** 505 ms - **Static scan time:** 4734 ms - **AI review time:** 45180 ms - **Total time:** 50421 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installing the package automatically invokes a third-party skill synchronization command. Failures are hidden, making the install-time mutation non-transparent. - **Trigger:** npm installs elia-ai. - **Impact:** It can change a foreign AI-agent skill control surface without the installer's explicit approval. - **Evidence paths:** package.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-30T22:09:44.699Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Post-install invocation of Prisma skill synchronization. - **Attack narrative:** The package's post-install lifecycle hook runs Prisma skill synchronization whenever the package is installed. This is an automatic third-party AI-agent integration action rather than a user-invoked setup command, and the shell fallback conceals whether it failed. The package source does not establish a constrained, package-owned destination for that synchronization. - **Rationale:** The install-time hook creates an unconsented AI-agent control-surface mutation and hides errors. This is concrete install-hook abuse even though the rest of the application includes ordinary user-invoked agent capabilities. - **Files touched:** package.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The automatic post-install hook runs Prisma's skill synchronization command and deliberately suppresses any failure., This runs during dependency installation, without an explicit command from the user, and can alter an external AI-agent skill control surface. - **Evidence against:** The package has no runtime dependency on another release of itself., Its command-line entry point only loads the application when the user invokes the command., The network policy source rejects private, link-local, and cloud metadata targets. ## Public findings ### 1.
