Subsequent AI-agent sessions can load package-authored operating instructions automatically, changing their behavior 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:** 3.24.9 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **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. Automatic npm postinstall writes instructions into the consumer project's shared AI-agent control surfaces. It generates adapters for six tools without a separate user setup command or consent gate. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-01T18:58:17.855Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-01T18:59:41.524Z - **Download time:** 1293 ms - **Static scan time:** 1751 ms - **AI review time:** 80623 ms - **Total time:** 83669 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

It generates adapters for six tools without a separate user setup command or consent gate. - **Trigger:** Installing the package as a dependency in a project without .agents/core. - **Impact:** Subsequent AI-agent sessions can load package-authored operating instructions automatically, changing their behavior in the consumer project. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/postinstall.js, dist/scripts/postinstall.js, dist/installer.js, dist/exporters.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-01T18:59:41.524Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The lifecycle bootstrap imports postinstall code, selects INIT\_CWD, and runs the installer with all packs and all adapters; exporters write shared instruction files. - **Attack narrative:** A dependency installation automatically initializes the consumer project. The installer places framework instructions at the project root and generates adapters across multiple AI tools. Preserving unmarked existing files limits overwrites but still allows unsolicited creation of shared instruction files that agents subsequently load. - **Rationale:** The inspected lifecycle chain performs unconsented mutation of broad AI-agent control surfaces, meeting the supplied blocking policy. Existing-file safeguards do not provide consent for automatic instruction creation. - **Files touched:** AGENTS.md, SYSTEM.md, RULES.md, CLAUDE.md, .codex/instructions.md, .github/copilot-instructions.md, opencode.json, .cursor/rules/izanagi-core.mdc ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** package.json activates bin/postinstall.js automatically, which imports the distributed postinstall implementation., The postinstall implementation targets INIT\_CWD and calls installToProject with every pack and all CLI adapters without an opt-in gate., dist/installer.js writes consumer AGENTS.md and invokes every AI-tool adapter., dist/exporters.js creates root CLAUDE.md and writes agent control files, replacing existing files bearing its generated marker. - **Evidence against:** Initialization skips projects already containing .agents/core., Existing instruction files without the generated marker are preserved. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to izanagi-ai@3.24.9. - Avoid installing izanagi-ai@3.24.9. 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.
