This can overwrite existing agent-control files. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-23T15:02:44.362Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-23T15:03:19.297Z - **Download time:** 260 ms - **Static scan time:** 53 ms - **AI review time:** 34621 ms - **Total time:** 34935 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** npm installation silently installs a large agent-instruction framework into the consuming project's generic .agents directory. This can overwrite existing agent-control files. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall - **Impact:** Unconsented persistence and control of project AI-agent behavior. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/postinstall.cjs, dist/postinstall.js, dist/installer.js, AGENTS.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-23T15:03:19.297Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** recursive copy of AI-agent instructions into INIT\_CWD/.agents - **Attack narrative:** Installing the package runs its postinstall hook. The hook loads the installer, which resolves the consumer project via INIT\_CWD or cwd and recursively copies framework files into the generic .agents control surface, including AGENTS.md, SYSTEM.md, and RULES.md. Existing destination files are overwritten without an opt-in command or consent check. - **Rationale:** This is a concrete unconsented postinstall mutation of a broad AI-agent control surface. Absence of exfiltration does not remove the persistent prompt/control hijack risk. - **Files touched:** consumer project/.agents/agents, consumer project/.agents/skills, consumer project/.agents/AGENTS.md, consumer project/.agents/SYSTEM.md, consumer project/.agents/RULES.md ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs postinstall automatically., bin/postinstall.cjs loads dist/postinstall.js., dist/installer.js targets INIT\_CWD/cwd and creates .agents., Installer recursively overwrites generic .agents content., Copied AGENTS.md/SYSTEM.md/RULES.md define agent instructions. - **Evidence against:** No network or credential-exfiltration code found., Child-process use is confined to manual build/release scripts. ## Public findings ### 1.
