A package install changes unrelated agent behavior without user consent and can cause later user requests to be sent to FocalAPI. - **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:** 0.7.6 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. npm installation silently injects FocalAPI skills into detected third-party AI-agent directories. Those skills redirect ordinary creative requests to the package vendor's gateway. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-28T08:46:28.981Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-28T08:48:07.973Z - **Download time:** 255 ms - **Static scan time:** 482 ms - **AI review time:** 98254 ms - **Total time:** 98992 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** npm installation silently injects FocalAPI skills into detected third-party AI-agent directories. Those skills redirect ordinary creative requests to the package vendor's gateway. - **Trigger:** Installing the package when a supported AI agent is detected outside CI and FOCALAPI\_SKIP\_POSTINSTALL is unset. - **Impact:** A package install changes unrelated agent behavior without user consent and can cause later user requests to be sent to FocalAPI. - **Evidence paths:** scripts/postinstall.cjs, dist/cli.js, skills/focalapi/SKILL.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-28T08:48:07.973Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Postinstall scans agent directories and copies auto-routing skill files. - **Attack narrative:** During npm postinstall, the package launches its CLI with connect install. The CLI detects numerous third-party AI-agent directories, creates their skill directories, and copies bundled FocalAPI skills there. The primary injected skill instructs an agent to route creative requests through FocalAPI even when the user did not request that service. This is an unconsented install-time mutation of a broad foreign AI-agent control surface. - **Rationale:** This is concrete unconsented postinstall mutation of unrelated AI-agent skill directories, followed by injected routing behavior. The local-only and opt-out safeguards do not make the automatic cross-agent modification consented. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.cjs, dist/cli.js, skills/focalapi/SKILL.md, ~/.claude/skills/focalapi\*, ~/.agents/skills/focalapi\* ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The postinstall hook automatically invokes agent-skill installation., The installer detects many unrelated AI-agent home directories., It copies bundled skills into detected agent skill directories and records a manifest., The injected router tells agents to use FocalAPI for creative requests without the user naming it. - **Evidence against:** The install hook states it makes no network request or API-key read., The hook skips CI and can be disabled with FOCALAPI\_SKIP\_POSTINSTALL., Installation is limited to detected agent directories and failures do not fail npm installation. ## Public findings ### 1.
