Future AI-agent sessions can load package-authored instructions without an explicit setup command from the user. - **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:** 0.2.2 - **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. Installing the package automatically modifies global AI-agent skill directories. It deletes existing Redsea-named skill directories and installs new behavior-bearing instructions for Agents, Claude, and Codex. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-11T09:51:33.218Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-11T09:52:34.350Z - **Download time:** 261 ms - **Static scan time:** 145 ms - **AI review time:** 60726 ms - **Total time:** 61132 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

It deletes existing Redsea-named skill directories and installs new behavior-bearing instructions for Agents, Claude, and Codex. - **Trigger:** npm installation runs postinstall automatically. - **Impact:** Future AI-agent sessions can load package-authored instructions without an explicit setup command from the user. - **Evidence paths:** scripts/postinstall.mjs, dist/commands/skill.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-11T09:52:34.350Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Postinstall launches a CLI command that replaces global AI-agent skill files. - **Attack narrative:** The package declares a postinstall hook that launches its own CLI with \`skill install\`. With no user-supplied target, that command removes and recreates Redsea skill directories in three global AI-agent control surfaces. This establishes package-authored instructions for future sessions across unrelated projects and tools as an automatic side effect of npm installation. - **Rationale:** The automatic postinstall mutation of broad, foreign AI-agent control surfaces is concrete and unconsented. The code also deletes prior directories before writing replacement instruction files. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.mjs, dist/index.js, dist/commands/skill.js, ~/.agents/skills, ~/.claude/skills, ~/.codex/skills ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** The npm postinstall hook automatically runs the skill installer., The installer deletes and replaces packaged skill directories., It writes into global skills directories for multiple AI-agent products without user action., The manifest makes this behavior run during installation. - **Evidence against:** No runtime dependency on another redsea-cli release is declared., The inspected network code targets the configured Redsea service; no separate exfiltration endpoint was found. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to redsea-cli@0.2.2. - Avoid installing redsea-cli@0.2.2. 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.
