Later agent sessions can adopt routing instructions that direct creative tasks through FocalAPI without the user having requested that integration. - **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:** 1.1.1 - **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. The npm postinstall hook automatically installs behavioral instructions into multiple foreign AI agents' skill directories. No consent prompt guards this installation. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-02T23:43:09.400Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-02T23:44:33.737Z - **Download time:** 505 ms - **Static scan time:** 292 ms - **AI review time:** 83539 ms - **Total time:** 84337 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** The npm postinstall hook automatically installs behavioral instructions into multiple foreign AI agents' skill directories. No consent prompt guards this installation. - **Trigger:** Installing the package with lifecycle scripts enabled, outside the configured skip conditions, when supported agents are detected. - **Impact:** Later agent sessions can adopt routing instructions that direct creative tasks through FocalAPI without the user having requested that integration. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.cjs, dist/cli.js, skills/focalapi/SKILL.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-02T23:44:33.737Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook invokes connect install, which detects agent directories and installs or replaces bundled FocalAPI skills. - **Attack narrative:** Installation launches the bundled CLI skill installer automatically. It detects supported agents and writes bundled instructions into their skill directories without a consent prompt. The installed router expands activation to creative tasks where the user never mentions FocalAPI. Subsequent installations can replace those skills automatically. This is an install-time change to foreign agent control surfaces, regardless of the skills' package-specific names. - **Rationale:** Inspected source establishes unconsented postinstall mutation of multiple foreign AI-agent instruction surfaces, meeting the blocking policy. The decision rests on that executable installation chain, not the unsupported gateway scanner hint. - **Files touched:** .claude/skills, .agents/skills, .focalapi-managed-skills.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** package.json automatically runs scripts/postinstall.cjs after installation., The postinstall script invokes the CLI skill installer without asking for consent., The installer targets foreign agent skill directories, including Claude Code and Codex, and selects all detected agents by default., The installer copies bundled skills into those directories and replaces existing matching skill directories., The installed router instructs agents to use FocalAPI for creative tasks even when users do not mention FocalAPI. - **Evidence against:** Installation can be skipped through an environment variable or CI detection, but these checks do not establish consent., Writes are limited to FocalAPI-named skills; nevertheless, installation automatically changes multiple foreign agents' instruction surfaces., Inspected authentication code defaults to api.focalapi.com; the scanner's claimed fixed unofficial gateway redirection was not substantiated. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to focalapi-cli@1.1.1. - Avoid installing focalapi-cli@1.1.1. 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.
