Native Hermes is redirected to package-managed configuration, profiles, credentials, skills, and hooks; existing symlink destinations are overridden. - **Verdict:** AI-agent control-surface policy finding - **Product-default install policy:** Warn by default; block when configured - **Firewall policy:** Warn by default - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Soft block: AI-agent control surface - **Selected version:** 3.10.3 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This finding concerns changes to an AI agent's instructions or configuration without explicit user action. It does not by itself establish malware intent. The CLI warns by default and blocks when configured for this policy. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. The npm postinstall hook redirects the foreign Hermes agent home into a package-managed directory without consent. This changes the filesystem location used by native Hermes. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-03T21:34:58.285Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-03T21:36:03.222Z - **Download time:** 774 ms - **Static scan time:** 1510 ms - **AI review time:** 62652 ms - **Total time:** 64937 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** The npm postinstall hook redirects the foreign Hermes agent home into a package-managed directory without consent. This changes the filesystem location used by native Hermes. - **Trigger:** Installing the package on Linux or macOS with Docker detected. - **Impact:** Native Hermes is redirected to package-managed configuration, profiles, credentials, skills, and hooks; existing symlink destinations are overridden. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-03T21:36:03.222Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook automatically calls a migration that renames an existing Hermes directory or removes an existing symlink, then links ~/.hermes to ~/.overmind/hermes. - **Attack narrative:** Installation automatically executes a hook that checks for Docker and then migrates the native Hermes home. On Linux and macOS, existing Hermes directories are backed up and replaced with a symlink into Overmind’s directory. Existing symlinks to other destinations are replaced as well. There is no consent prompt guarding this foreign agent control-surface mutation. - **Rationale:** Source proves unconsented npm postinstall mutation of the foreign Hermes agent control surface, meeting the blocking policy. Backups and platform checks limit data loss but do not authorize the redirection. - **Files touched:** ~/.hermes, ~/.overmind/hermes ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** package.json automatically runs scripts/postinstall.mjs after installation., The hook calls the Hermes migration when Docker is detected, without requesting consent., The migration targets the native ~/.hermes agent home and redirects it into ~/.overmind/hermes., Existing Hermes directories are renamed to backups and replaced with symlinks; existing symlinks pointing elsewhere are removed and replaced. - **Evidence against:** The migration preserves existing directories as backups and skips Windows., No credential exfiltration was established by the inspected migration code. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to overmind-mcp@3.10.3. - Avoid installing overmind-mcp@3.10.3. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
