It drops framework instructions and agent assets without an explicit user command. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-23T12:50:02.412Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-23T12:50:44.953Z - **Download time:** 520 ms - **Static scan time:** 53 ms - **AI review time:** 41967 ms - **Total time:** 42541 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** npm postinstall mutates the consuming project's generic .agents AI-agent control surface. It drops framework instructions and agent assets without an explicit user command. - **Trigger:** npm installation of izanagi-ai@2.0.4 - **Impact:** Can override or introduce AI-agent instructions and configuration in the host project. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/postinstall.cjs, dist/postinstall.js, dist/installer.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-23T12:50:44.953Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall recursive copy into INIT\_CWD/.agents - **Attack narrative:** The install lifecycle loads the package installer, which targets the consumer project via INIT\_CWD or the current directory. It recursively copies a large agent framework into the generic .agents directory and overwrites same-named instruction files, causing unconsented modification of a broad AI-agent control surface. - **Rationale:** This is a concrete unconsented postinstall mutation of a generic host AI-agent directory, not merely an explicit CLI setup command. No additional exfiltration behavior was found, but the lifecycle control-surface write meets the block boundary. - **Files touched:** package.json, bin/postinstall.cjs, dist/postinstall.js, dist/installer.js, .agents/AGENTS.md, .agents/SYSTEM.md, .agents/RULES.md, .agents/agents, .agents/skills ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs bin/postinstall.cjs on install., dist/postinstall.js invokes installToProject() automatically., dist/installer.js resolves INIT\_CWD or cwd and writes .agents., Installer recursively copies AGENTS.md, SYSTEM.md, RULES.md and agent assets into the host project., Existing destination files are overwritten without consent or ownership checks. - **Evidence against:** No network, credential harvesting, or shell execution in the install path., Build/release child-process scripts are package-maintenance commands, not lifecycle hooks. ## Public findings ### 1.
