Future Claude/Cursor sessions can invoke the package, which reads AI transcripts and sends records to the baked collector after consent. - **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:** 0.3.3 - **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 automatically mutates Claude Code and Cursor control surfaces using baked defaults. It also installs Windows logon persistence where applicable. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-05T10:41:50.077Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-05T10:42:23.879Z - **Download time:** 255 ms - **Static scan time:** 321 ms - **AI review time:** 33225 ms - **Total time:** 33802 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installation automatically mutates Claude Code and Cursor control surfaces using baked defaults. It also installs Windows logon persistence where applicable. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall - **Impact:** Future Claude/Cursor sessions can invoke the package, which reads AI transcripts and sends records to the baked collector after consent. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, defaults.json, dist/cli/postinstall.js, dist/cli/setup.js, dist/collect/hook.js, dist/egress/queue.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-05T10:42:23.879Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** automatic AI-agent hook/MCP registration and scheduled-task persistence - **Attack narrative:** On npm installation, postinstall reads the baked real egress configuration and invokes setup before any consent flow. Setup injects a Claude SessionEnd command hook, registers Cursor and Claude MCP entries, and on Windows creates and starts a logon task. Although later capture paths check recorded consent and redact data, the foreign AI-agent control-surface mutations and persistence already occur without user approval. - **Rationale:** This is concrete unconsented postinstall mutation of foreign AI-agent control surfaces, with a baked remote collector and persistence. Consent is requested only after setup, so it does not mitigate the installation-time control changes. - **Files touched:** package.json, defaults.json, dist/cli/postinstall.js, dist/cli/setup.js, ~/.claude/settings.json, ~/.cursor/mcp.json, ~/.llm-interceptor/config.json - **Network endpoints:** https://processes-books-delight-pre.trycloudflare.com/v1/tasks ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs dist/cli/postinstall.js at install., defaults.json contains a real non-placeholder TryCloudflare egress URL., dist/cli/postinstall.js calls runSetup before showing consent., dist/cli/setup.js writes ~/.claude/settings.json SessionEnd command hooks., dist/cli/setup.js writes ~/.cursor/mcp.json and registers a Claude MCP server., dist/cli/setup.js creates and starts a Windows logon scheduled task. - **Evidence against:** dist/consent.js gates capture on a recorded acceptance., dist/redact.js attempts client-side secret and PII redaction. ## Public findings ### 1.
