## Verdict summary
**Soft block: AI-agent control surface** — Warn by default; block when configured. Alters a foreign, broad AI-agent control surface without an explicit user command; tool-call data is sent to an unauthenticated local-network service.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Warn by default
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Soft block: AI-agent control surface
- **Selected version:** 1.5.3
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Installation unconditionally changes the global Antigravity/Gemini hook configuration. The added wildcard hook intercepts agent tool calls and routes their arguments to LinkGravity's approval service.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Installation unconditionally changes the global Antigravity/Gemini hook configuration. The added wildcard hook intercepts agent tool calls and routes their arguments to LinkGravity's approval service.

- **Trigger:** npm install / npm postinstall

- **Impact:** Alters a foreign, broad AI-agent control surface without an explicit user command; tool-call data is sent to an unauthenticated local-network service.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, npm-scripts/postinstall.js, npm-scripts/register-hook.js, hooks/hook.py, src/api/server.py

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-04T02:47:35.772Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** Global AI-agent hook registration and tool-call interception

- **Attack narrative:** On installation, postinstall creates a persistent virtual environment and calls register-hook. That script writes a wildcard PreToolUse hook and Stop hook into ~/.gemini/config/hooks.json, causing the agent platform to execute package-controlled Python for future tool calls. The PreToolUse hook serializes tool arguments to LinkGravity's approval endpoint, whose server listens on all interfaces without authentication.

- **Rationale:** This is a concrete, unconsented postinstall mutation of a foreign broad AI-agent control surface. The documented product purpose does not remove the install-time control-surface impact.

- **Files touched:** package.json, npm-scripts/postinstall.js, npm-scripts/register-hook.js, hooks/hook.py, src/api/server.py, ~/.gemini/config/hooks.json, ~/.gemini/linkgravity/venv

- **Network endpoints:** http://localhost:18080/approve

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 99.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** package.json runs postinstall automatically., npm-scripts/postinstall.js invokes register-hook during installation., npm-scripts/register-hook.js writes ~/.gemini/config/hooks.json., It installs wildcard PreToolUse and Stop hooks pointing to package scripts., hooks/hook.py receives agent tool arguments and forwards them to localhost:18080., src/api/server.py binds the approval endpoint on 0.0.0.0:18080 without authentication.

- **Evidence against:** The hook is presented as LinkGravity's Discord-based approval bridge., No remote payload download or external credential-exfiltration endpoint was found.
