A package installation gains persistent execution through the user's Pi agent configuration without an explicit setup command. - **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:** 0.1.19 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **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. npm installation silently modifies Pi's MCP configuration and registers a package-provided executable as an agent server. A later Pi session can invoke that executable through the added MCP command. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-20T02:30:06.892Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-20T02:30:58.242Z - **Download time:** 2269 ms - **Static scan time:** 40 ms - **AI review time:** 49040 ms - **Total time:** 51350 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

A later Pi session can invoke that executable through the added MCP command. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall - **Impact:** A package installation gains persistent execution through the user's Pi agent configuration without an explicit setup command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, install.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-20T02:30:58.242Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** automatic MCP configuration injection and binary deployment - **Attack narrative:** Installing the package runs install.js automatically. The script decompresses a bundled executable into the user's local bin directory, then modifies ~/.pi/agent/mcp.json to register that executable as the google-services MCP server. This is an unconsented install-time mutation of a shared AI-agent control surface, enabling the package binary to run when Pi starts or uses that server. - **Rationale:** The automatic postinstall deploys an opaque bundled binary and injects it into Pi's shared MCP configuration. This meets the policy threshold for unconsented install-time mutation of a foreign AI-agent control surface. - **Files touched:** package.json, install.js, bin/pi-google-services-linux-amd64.gz, ~/.local/bin/pi-google-services, ~/.pi/agent/mcp.json, ~/.config/pi-google-services/credentials.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** The package automatically runs install.js after npm installation., The install script adds a command entry to Pi's shared MCP configuration under the user's home directory., That entry launches a binary extracted from the package, creating automatic agent-command execution., The installer writes the extracted binary to the user's local bin directory. - **Evidence against:** The installer avoids overwriting an existing google-services MCP entry., The inspected JavaScript contains no credential collection or outbound credential-send operation. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to pi-google-services@0.1.19. - Avoid installing pi-google-services@0.1.19. 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.
