Registers process-ai agent skills and writes configuration/content into the consuming project. - **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:** 0.5.0 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Install-time code mutates the consumer project and Claude Code's .claude/skills control surface without an explicit user command. It also invokes pip to install Python dependencies. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 97.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-07T03:50:41.800Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-07T03:51:26.759Z - **Download time:** 250 ms - **Static scan time:** 365 ms - **AI review time:** 44342 ms - **Total time:** 44959 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Install-time code mutates the consumer project and Claude Code's .claude/skills control surface without an explicit user command. It also invokes pip to install Python dependencies. - **Trigger:** npm install process-ai@0.5.0 - **Impact:** Registers process-ai agent skills and writes configuration/content into the consuming project. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/postinstall.js, dist/bin/process-ai.js, dist/toolkit/adapters/claude-code/skill-copy.js, dist/toolkit/src/installer/orchestrator.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-07T03:51:26.759Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall launches pip and the package installer - **Attack narrative:** On npm installation, postinstall runs pip dependency installation and executes the package CLI using the consumer directory as target. The CLI installs package-controlled skills into the consumer's .claude/skills directory, enabling Claude Code slash-command behavior, and writes additional project configuration and method packs. This is an unconsented install-time mutation of an AI-agent control surface. - **Rationale:** The behavior is concrete and automatic at postinstall, not merely a user-invoked setup path. Although no data theft was found, the package mutates a foreign AI-agent control surface during dependency installation. - **Files touched:** bin/postinstall.js, scripts/requirements-ingest.txt, \/.claude/skills/process-ai\*/SKILL.md, \/.process-ai/config, \/method-packs/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 97.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs bin/postinstall.js automatically., bin/postinstall.js runs pip install -r scripts/requirements-ingest.txt., postinstall invokes CLI install against INIT\_CWD., skill-copy.js writes package skills to \/.claude/skills/., installer also writes .process-ai/ config and target method-packs/. - **Evidence against:** No credential harvesting or exfiltration found., No remote payload download or eval/vm execution found., Skills are copied from package-local regular files with symlink checks. ## Public findings ### 1. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Package defines install-time lifecycle scripts. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json scripts.postinstall = node bin/postinstall.js ``` ### 2. Medium: Ambiguous Install Lifecycle Script - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 75.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Install-time lifecycle script is not statically allowlisted and needs review. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json scripts.postinstall = node bin/postinstall.js ``` ### 3. Low: Non Install Lifecycle Scripts - **Category:** Manifest - **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: Environment Vars - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 75.0% Package source references environment variables. ### 6. Low: Filesystem - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 70.0% Package source references filesystem APIs. ### 7. Low: High Entropy Strings - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 55.0% Package source contains high-entropy string patterns. ### 8. Low: Url Strings - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 65.0% Package source contains URL literals. ### 9. Medium: Ships Build Helper - **Category:** Artifact Inventory - **Confidence:** 70.0% - **Path:** scripts/merge\_mermaid\_v2.py - **Public source:** [View source]() Package ships non-JavaScript build or shell helper files. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```python path = scripts/merge_mermaid_v2.py kind = build_helper sizeBytes = 24847 magicHex = [redacted] ``` ### 10. Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review - **Category:** Artifact Inventory - **Confidence:** 95.0% Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean. ### 11. High: Semantic Analysis Limited - **Category:** Scanner Coverage - **Confidence:** 100.0% - **Path:** dist/bin/process-ai.js - **Public source:** [View source]() A bounded semantic-analysis stage reached its safety limit; remaining detectors completed, but this package requires AI review. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript stage = ast_semantic_analysis; reason = ast_alias_growth_limit_exceeded; limitedFiles = 15 ``` ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** Yes - **Published lifecycle scripts:** postinstall, prepublishOnly - **Dependencies:** 0 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 2 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 0 ## Package metadata - **Package:** process-ai - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 0.5.0 - **License:** MIT - **Version published:** 2026-08-06T20:46:58.318Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-08-06T18:28:36.301Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-08-15T11:00:17.329Z - **Known versions:** 19 - **Latest version:** 0.13.0 - **Appeal under review:** No - **Description:** Framework method-agnóstico de mapeamento de processos ponta-a-ponta — equipe de 6 agentes IA (Déa+Bento+Miguel+Júlia+Zanoni+Laura) que conduz o usuário por Q&A até documentar o processo completo (ingestão documental→SIPOC→hierarquia→BPMN→POPs) com confian - **Author:** Sandoval Medeiros - **Keywords:** process-mapping, bpmn, sipoc, process-discovery, claude-code, agent-pipeline, hexagonal-architecture, business-process, pop, confidence-markers, document-ingestion, pdf-to-markdown - **Runtime engines:** node: \>=24.0.0 - **Artifact files:** 54 - **Artifact unpacked size:** 404,085 bytes - **Artifact signatures:** 1 - **Attestations:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [Repository]() - [Homepage]() - [Issues]()
