Mutates a foreign AI-agent control surface and can influence future Gemini agent actions across projects. - **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:** 1.0.0 - **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 installs a skill into the user's Gemini configuration. That skill directs an AI agent to run this package and create further project-local agent skills. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-16T04:23:13.407Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-16T04:23:51.844Z - **Download time:** 513 ms - **Static scan time:** 31 ms - **AI review time:** 37893 ms - **Total time:** 38437 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

That skill directs an AI agent to run this package and create further project-local agent skills. - **Trigger:** npm installation, through the postinstall lifecycle hook. - **Impact:** Mutates a foreign AI-agent control surface and can influence future Gemini agent actions across projects. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, install.js, bin/cli.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-16T04:23:51.844Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Unconsented user-level AI-agent skill installation followed by agent-directed package execution. - **Attack narrative:** On installation, npm runs install.js, which creates ~/.gemini/config/skills/joy/SKILL.md without an explicit user setup action. The installed Gemini skill tells an AI agent that it has permission to run npx joysetter or joy. Running the CLI writes additional skills into the active project's .agent/skills directory. This is an automatic mutation of a foreign AI-agent control surface intended to influence later agent behavior. - **Rationale:** The package's postinstall hook silently writes a Gemini skill into the user's home configuration and embeds instructions that authorize an agent to execute the package. This meets the install-time foreign AI-agent control-surface mutation blocking policy. - **Files touched:** install.js, bin/cli.js, ~/.gemini/config/skills/joy/SKILL.md, .agent/skills/architecture-create/SKILL.md, .agent/skills/architecture-scanner/SKILL.md, .agent/skills/architecture-updater/SKILL.md ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** The automatic postinstall hook runs install.js without a user command., Install code creates and overwrites a Gemini user-level skill at ~/.gemini/config/skills/joy/SKILL.md., The installed skill instructs an AI agent to run npx joysetter or joy and asserts permission to do so., The CLI can then write three agent skill files into the current project's .agent/skills directory. - **Evidence against:** No network requests, subprocess execution, credential collection, or environment-variable harvesting appear in the inspected source., The generated content is readable JavaScript and Markdown rather than an obfuscated or remote payload. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to joysetter@1.0.0. - Avoid installing joysetter@1.0.0. 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.
