Unconsented installation of agent skill instructions/scripts into a user-level AI-agent staging area - **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:** 1.2.0 - **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. The package does not show credential theft, exfiltration, persistence, or destructive behavior, and scanner blob findings are package-aligned skill assets. However, the npm lifecycle hook performs unconsented AI-agent control-surface mutation by staging bundled .agents skills at install time, which is a blocking policy violation. Product guard normalized a concrete AI-agent control hijack publish\_block to the blockable dangerous-capability shape. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-02T21:42:53.129Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-02T21:43:28.513Z - **Download time:** 756 ms - **Static scan time:** 134 ms - **AI review time:** 34494 ms - **Total time:** 35384 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:** Confirmed install-time mutation of an AI-agent control surface: npm postinstall stages bundled .agents skills into the user's home config. No exfiltration or destructive behavior was found in the inspected entrypoints. - **Trigger:** npm install of hi-aiot-skills@1.2.0 - **Impact:** Unconsented installation of agent skill instructions/scripts into a user-level AI-agent staging area - **Evidence paths:** package.json, src/postinstall.js, src/install.js, cli.js, src/remotes/gitcode.js, raw/.agents/skills/origin/hi3516cv610-burn-local/scripts/setup\_pc\_local.bat, raw/.agents/skills/origin/spi-panel-bringup/assets/Hi3516CV610\_PINOUT\_CN.xlsx - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-02T21:43:28.513Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall copies bundled AI-agent skills into ~/.config/hi-aiot-cli/.agents - **Attack narrative:** On npm install, package.json runs src/postinstall.js, which calls setup() and copies raw/.agents into ~/.config/hi-aiot-cli/.agents. That writes AI-agent skill content and helper scripts into a user-level control surface before the user invokes the CLI. Later CLI commands can install those staged skills into project or tool-specific .agents directories; remote GitCode cloning is only user-invoked. - **Rationale:** The package does not show credential theft, exfiltration, persistence, or destructive behavior, and scanner blob findings are package-aligned skill assets. However, the npm lifecycle hook performs unconsented AI-agent control-surface mutation by staging bundled .agents skills at install time, which is a blocking policy violation. Product guard normalized a concrete AI-agent control hijack publish\_block to the blockable dangerous-capability shape. - **Files touched:** ~/.config/hi-aiot-cli/.agents, ~/.config/hi-aiot-cli/.agents/skills/origin/\* - **Network endpoints:** https://gitcode.com/\/\.git ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** src/postinstall.js automatically calls setup() during npm install., src/install.js setup copies raw/.agents into ~/.config/hi-aiot-cli/.agents without consent beyond install., cli.js start can copy staged .agents skills into current project/AI tool dirs when user invokes it. - **Evidence against:** No credential/env harvesting found in inspected JS entrypoints., Network use is limited to user-invoked hi-aiot-cli install skill --gitcode via git clone to gitcode.com., Bundled .bat/.sh/.py/xlsx files are skill assets/examples for HiSilicon workflows, not executed by postinstall., Dynamic require in cli.js only loads local ./src/interactive during list -i. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to hi-aiot-skills@1.2.0. - Avoid installing hi-aiot-skills@1.2.0. 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.
