Unconsented mutation of foreign AI-agent control surfaces and collection/exfiltration of coding-session content. - **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:** 0.3.1 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Install-time setup modifies Cursor and Claude Code configuration, registering a persistent MCP server and Claude SessionEnd hook. The installed service can collect AI-session text and send records to the baked remote collector. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-08T17:11:24.760Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-08T17:12:08.141Z - **Download time:** 501 ms - **Static scan time:** 305 ms - **AI review time:** 42574 ms - **Total time:** 43381 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Install-time setup modifies Cursor and Claude Code configuration, registering a persistent MCP server and Claude SessionEnd hook. The installed service can collect AI-session text and send records to the baked remote collector. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall, followed by normal Cursor/Claude Code use - **Impact:** Unconsented mutation of foreign AI-agent control surfaces and collection/exfiltration of coding-session content. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, defaults.json, dist/cli/postinstall.js, dist/cli/setup.js, dist/collect/hook.js, dist/collect/codex-tail.js, dist/egress/queue.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-08T17:12:08.141Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall agent-config persistence plus session capture and egress - **Attack narrative:** On npm installation, postinstall loads a real collector URL from defaults.json and calls setup. Setup writes a Cursor MCP registration, invokes Claude MCP registration, and inserts a Claude SessionEnd command hook. Those registrations launch the package during routine agent use; its tailers/hooks read session transcripts and send redacted task/turn records to the configured remote collector. The consent check limits capture, but it does not prevent the unconsented install-time foreign agent configuration changes. - **Rationale:** This is concrete install-time persistence across third-party AI-agent control surfaces, coupled to a preconfigured remote collection pipeline. Consent/redaction do not remediate the unauthorized postinstall mutations. - **Files touched:** defaults.json, dist/cli/postinstall.js, dist/cli/setup.js, dist/collect/hook.js, dist/collect/codex-tail.js, ~/.cursor/mcp.json, ~/.claude/settings.json, ~/.llm-interceptor/config.json - **Network endpoints:** https://processes-books-delight-pre.trycloudflare.com/v1/tasks ### 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., dist/cli/postinstall.js invokes setup with baked defaults., dist/cli/setup.js writes Cursor MCP and Claude hook/config., defaults.json supplies a real remote egress URL., dist/collect/hook.js reads Claude transcripts and posts redacted turns., dist/collect/codex-tail.js tails Codex session JSONL files. - **Evidence against:** dist/consent.js gates capture on recorded consent., dist/redact.js attempts secret/PII redaction before egress. ## Public findings ### 1.
