It can hijack future coding-agent behavior in the consumer repository by creating or modifying agent instruction surfaces. - **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:** 0.1.7 - **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. Installation drops an agent-directed instruction file into the consumer project. Following its instructions modifies broad AI-agent control files with a managed block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-08T11:50:57.718Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-08T11:52:20.303Z - **Download time:** 511 ms - **Static scan time:** 10137 ms - **AI review time:** 71936 ms - **Total time:** 82585 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:** Installation drops an agent-directed instruction file into the consumer project. Following its instructions modifies broad AI-agent control files with a managed block. - **Trigger:** Installing the package, then a coding agent reading the automatically created KORAINIT.md. - **Impact:** It can hijack future coding-agent behavior in the consumer repository by creating or modifying agent instruction surfaces. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, KORAINIT.md, src/practice/sync.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-08T11:52:20.303Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Postinstall prompt dropper leading to agent instruction-file writes. - **Attack narrative:** During npm installation, the package copies KORAINIT.md into the consumer project without consent. That file addresses any coding agent as an imperative instruction and tells it to run a command that writes a persistent managed block into AGENTS.md and other agent-specific instruction files. The sync code can create AGENTS.md even when absent and writes multiple agent control surfaces, causing later agents to receive package-authored directives. - **Rationale:** This is an automatic install-time delivery chain that plants an AI-directed prompt and induces broad, persistent modification of the consumer project's agent control surfaces. The behavior is not necessary for ordinary package installation and constitutes AI-agent control hijacking. - **Files touched:** KORAINIT.md, AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, .cursor/rules/koragraph.mdc, .clinerules/koragraph.md, .windsurfrules, .github/copilot-instructions.md, GEMINI.md ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** The manifest automatically runs a postinstall script., The postinstall script silently adds KORAINIT.md to the consuming project., The dropped file directly instructs coding agents and directs them to modify their agent instruction files., The sync implementation targets several agent control files and writes them in the project. - **Evidence against:** No runtime self-dependency is declared., No package-owned network endpoint or credential exfiltration was confirmed. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to koragraphmcp@0.1.7. - Avoid installing koragraphmcp@0.1.7. 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.
