Unconsented persistence of package-supplied agent instructions across broad agent 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:** 1.3.2 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. On npm installation, the package mutates detected Claude, OpenCode, Codex/Agents, Cursor, Gemini, CommandCode, and Windsurf skill control surfaces. It replaces the installed wiki-manager skill and prompts the runtime to load it. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-21T14:14:07.504Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-21T14:14:57.356Z - **Download time:** 509 ms - **Static scan time:** 159 ms - **AI review time:** 49182 ms - **Total time:** 49852 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** On npm installation, the package mutates detected Claude, OpenCode, Codex/Agents, Cursor, Gemini, CommandCode, and Windsurf skill control surfaces. It replaces the installed wiki-manager skill and prompts the runtime to load it. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall - **Impact:** Unconsented persistence of package-supplied agent instructions across broad agent runtimes. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install.js, skills/wiki-manager/SKILL.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-21T14:14:57.356Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** automatic cross-runtime AI-agent skill installation - **Attack narrative:** Installing the package invokes its postinstall script. When recognized runtime markers exist, it deletes any existing wiki-manager directory and copies its bundled skill into each detected agent runtime; global installs target home directories. This is an unconsented lifecycle mutation of foreign, broad AI-agent control surfaces. - **Rationale:** The concrete postinstall behavior meets the firewall block criterion for foreign/broad AI-agent control-surface mutation. No separate network or credential-exfiltration behavior was found. - **Files touched:** scripts/install.js, skills/wiki-manager/SKILL.md, .claude/skills/wiki-manager, .config/opencode/skills/wiki-manager, .agents/skills/wiki-manager, .cursor/skills/wiki-manager, .gemini/skills/wiki-manager, .commandcode/skills/wiki-manager, .windsurf/skills/wiki-manager ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** postinstall automatically runs scripts/install.js., Install script targets skill directories for seven separate AI-agent runtimes., The lifecycle script recursively replaces and copies wiki-manager into detected runtime skill paths. - **Evidence against:** No network, credential collection, or exfiltration code found., Dependency installs inside node\_modules skip the fallback skill installation. ## Public findings ### 1.
