It can change agent instructions and configuration across the consumer project without an explicit user command. - **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:** 3.22.1 - **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. Installing this dependency automatically modifies the consumer project and multiple AI-agent control surfaces. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-10T00:06:47.254Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-10T00:08:50.229Z - **Download time:** 761 ms - **Static scan time:** 2711 ms - **AI review time:** 119502 ms - **Total time:** 122975 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:** Installing this dependency automatically modifies the consumer project and multiple AI-agent control surfaces. - **Trigger:** npm installs izanagi-ai as a dependency. - **Impact:** It can change agent instructions and configuration across the consumer project without an explicit user command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/scripts/postinstall.js, dist/installer.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-10T00:08:50.229Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** A postinstall hook copies framework files and generates all AI CLI adapters. - **Attack narrative:** During npm dependency installation, the postinstall hook uses the consumer working directory, installs all framework packs, and generates adapters for Claude, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Kimi, and Opencode. This creates and populates AI-agent instruction and configuration paths before the user explicitly runs a setup command. - **Rationale:** The automatic lifecycle hook broadly mutates a foreign consumer project's AI-agent control surface. This meets the publish-block policy regardless of the absence of observed exfiltration. - **Files touched:** .agents/\*\*, AGENTS.md, SYSTEM.md, RULES.md, .izanagi/izanagi.config.json, opencode.json, .claude/\*\*, .codex/\*\*, .cursor/\*\*, .github/\*\*, .kimi/\*\*, .opencode/\*\* ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** The package declares an automatic postinstall hook., The hook targets the consumer project during dependency installation and invokes installation for every pack and every supported AI CLI., The installer creates a consumer .agents directory, copies package content into it, writes root instruction documents and configuration, and generates all adapters. - **Evidence against:** No network request or credential exfiltration is present in the install-hook path inspected., The sandbox and LLM network code is runtime functionality, not reached by postinstall. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to izanagi-ai@3.22.1. - Avoid installing izanagi-ai@3.22.1. 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.
