A dependency installation can add persistent instructions and agent configurations that affect multiple AI coding tools in the consumer project. - **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:** 3.23.0 - **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. LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Installing the package automatically modifies the consuming project’s AI-agent control surfaces. It installs all framework packs and adapters for Claude, Cursor, Codex, Copilot, Kimi, and OpenCode without an explicit user command. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-12T00:32:21.563Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-12T00:33:31.747Z - **Download time:** 510 ms - **Static scan time:** 1532 ms - **AI review time:** 68141 ms - **Total time:** 70184 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

It installs all framework packs and adapters for Claude, Cursor, Codex, Copilot, Kimi, and OpenCode without an explicit user command. - **Trigger:** npm runs postinstall after this package is installed as a dependency. - **Impact:** A dependency installation can add persistent instructions and agent configurations that affect multiple AI coding tools in the consumer project. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/postinstall.js, dist/scripts/postinstall.js, dist/installer.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-12T00:33:31.747Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic broad AI-agent configuration and instruction-file installation into INIT\_CWD. - **Attack narrative:** On dependency installation, npm invokes the committed postinstall bootstrap. When the package is under node\_modules, the handler resolves INIT\_CWD as the consumer project, copies every framework pack into .agents, creates root instruction and configuration files, and generates adapters for six AI coding platforms. This is an unconsented, broad mutation of foreign AI-agent control surfaces. - **Rationale:** The package has a concrete automatic install-time chain that modifies a consumer project and activates multiple AI-agent integrations. This meets the install-hook abuse policy even though no secret theft or external exfiltration was confirmed. - **Files touched:** bin/postinstall.js, dist/scripts/postinstall.js, dist/installer.js, .agents/, AGENTS.md, SYSTEM.md, RULES.md, .izanagi/izanagi.config.json, opencode.json, .claude/, .cursor/, .codex/, .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 committed bootstrap imports the install handler when dist is present., The install handler targets the consumer directory and automatically installs every pack and all six AI CLI adapters., The installer writes agent assets, root instruction files, local configuration, and an auto-loading OpenCode configuration into the consumer project. - **Evidence against:** No credential harvesting, data exfiltration, or attacker-controlled network endpoint was confirmed in the inspected install path. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to izanagi-ai@3.23.0. - Avoid installing izanagi-ai@3.23.0. 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.
