Unconsented activation of package-supplied agent instructions across detected runtimes. - **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:** 1.3.0 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Installation mutates AI-agent skill control surfaces without an explicit CLI action. It force-overwrites a wiki-manager skill in detected global or project runtime directories. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-20T11:16:34.030Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-20T11:17:35.590Z - **Download time:** 502 ms - **Static scan time:** 134 ms - **AI review time:** 60923 ms - **Total time:** 61560 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installation mutates AI-agent skill control surfaces without an explicit CLI action. It force-overwrites a wiki-manager skill in detected global or project runtime directories. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall - **Impact:** Unconsented activation of package-supplied agent instructions across detected runtimes. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install.js, skills/wiki-manager/SKILL.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-20T11:17:35.590Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** automatic recursive force-copy into agent skill directories - **Attack narrative:** On npm installation, the postinstall script detects agent runtime directories and recursively force-copies its bundled wiki-manager skill into them. This includes global directories for multiple unrelated agent products and project directories; direct installs also create a .agents/skills fallback. Although no exfiltration or remote payload was observed, this is unconsented install-time mutation of broad AI-agent control surfaces. - **Rationale:** The source confirms the lifecycle mutation rather than merely indicating it statically. This meets the firewall block boundary for unconsented postinstall writes to foreign/broad AI-agent control surfaces. - **Files touched:** scripts/install.js, skills/wiki-manager/, ~/.claude/skills/wiki-manager, ~/.config/opencode/skills/wiki-manager, ~/.agents/skills/wiki-manager, .claude/skills/wiki-manager, .opencode/skills/wiki-manager, .agents/skills/wiki-manager ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** npm postinstall runs scripts/install.js., Postinstall targets detected global agent runtime skill directories, including Codex., It force-copies the bundled skill into those runtime directories., A project install creates .agents/skills when no runtime folder exists. - **Evidence against:** No outbound network, credential harvesting, or payload download was found in reviewed source., The copied content is a bundled wiki-management skill, not a remotely fetched payload. ## Public findings ### 1.
