## Verdict summary
**Soft block: AI-agent control surface** — Warn by default; block when configured. Persists package-controlled commands in Claude Code and Codex configuration, causing execution on agent events and network communication.

- **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:** 0.1.1
- **Selected version is latest:** Yes
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. A global npm postinstall detects Claude/Codex and alters their user-level hook configuration without an explicit CLI command. The resulting hooks invoke Pinglet and contact its service.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** A global npm postinstall detects Claude/Codex and alters their user-level hook configuration without an explicit CLI command. The resulting hooks invoke Pinglet and contact its service.

- **Trigger:** npm install -g pinglet-cli

- **Impact:** Persists package-controlled commands in Claude Code and Codex configuration, causing execution on agent events and network communication.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/postinstall.js, dist/commands/install.js, dist/adapters/codex.js, dist/adapters/claude.js, dist/api.js, dist/config.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** install-time AI-agent hook registration and remote feed/telemetry client

- **Attack narrative:** On global installation, postinstall runs the installer automatically. It detects installed Claude Code or Codex, then writes Pinglet commands into their user configuration files. Those hooks execute Pinglet during agent activity; Pinglet registers an installation, fetches content, and uploads event telemetry to its service. This is unconsented install-time mutation of third-party AI-agent control surfaces.

- **Rationale:** The lifecycle script performs concrete, automatic writes to Claude and Codex hook configuration, rather than merely offering an explicit setup command. That meets the blocking policy for unconsented postinstall mutation of foreign AI-agent control surfaces.

- **Files touched:** dist/postinstall.js, dist/commands/install.js, dist/adapters/codex.js, dist/adapters/claude.js, ~/.codex/config.toml, ~/.claude/settings.json, ~/.claude/commands/pinglet.md, ~/.pinglet/config.json

- **Network endpoints:** https://pinglet.halluci.co.kr

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 97.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** Global postinstall automatically invokes integration setup., Setup writes Codex notify hook to ~/.codex/config.toml., Setup writes Claude statusLine command and slash command., Installed hooks fetch remote feed and send telemetry to Pinglet.

- **Evidence against:** Postinstall is limited to global npm installs., Existing hook settings are skipped unless forced., No credential harvesting or arbitrary shell execution found.

## Public findings

### 1. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/pinglet-cli@0.1.1/package.json>)

Package defines install-time lifecycle scripts.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```json
scripts.postinstall = node dist/postinstall.js || exit 0
```

```json
scripts.postinstall = node dist/postinstall.js || exit 0
```

### 3. Low: Non Install Lifecycle Scripts

- **Confidence:** 80.0%

Package declares lifecycle scripts that are not normally run for registry tarball installs.

### 4. Low: Scripts Present
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

Package declares npm scripts.

### 5. Medium: Network
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 75.0%

Package source references network APIs.

- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** dist/adapters/claude.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/pinglet-cli@0.1.1/dist/adapters/claude.js>)

Source creates an unconsented AI-agent control surface through install-time mutation or a default unauthenticated remote skill channel.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L48: const render_1 = require("../render");
L49: const CLAUDE_DIR = path.join(os.homedir(), ".claude");
L50: const SETTINGS_PATH = path.join(CLAUDE_DIR, "settings.json");
...
L85: function installSlashCommand() {
L86: fs.mkdirSync(COMMANDS_DIR, { recursive: true });
L87: fs.writeFileSync(COMMAND_PATH, `---
L88: description: 메시지를 Pinglet에 등록해 다른 개발자들의 터미널에 표시
...
L141: function writeSettings(settings) {
L142: fs.mkdirSync(CLAUDE_DIR, { recursive: true });
L143: // settings.json은 Claude Code가 수시로 읽는 파일이라 tmp+rename으로 원자적으로 쓴다.
L144: const tmp = SETTINGS_PATH + ".pinglet-tmp";
L145: fs.writeFileSync(tmp, JSON.stringify(settings, null, 2) + "\n");
```

### 9. Low: High Entropy Strings

- **Path:** dist/config.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/pinglet-cli@0.1.1/dist/config.js>)

This package version adds a dangerous source file absent from the previous stored version; route for source-aware review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
matchType = previous_version_dangerous_delta
matchedPackage = pinglet-cli@0.1.0
matchedIdentity = npm:cGluZ2xldC1jbGk:0.1.0
similarity = 0.952
summary = stored previous version shares package body but lacks this dangerous source file
