AI Security Review
scanned 12d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe active postinstall lifecycle hook silently mutates global AI-agent configuration and registers package commands for future events. This is unconsented install-time control-surface mutation, supporting a block.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
Installing the package runs its postinstall lifecycle script.
Impact
The package's commands are configured to run during future AI-tool events.
Mechanism
The script detects CodeBuddy and Claude Code settings, appends hooks for session, prompt, and tool events without a consent check, and writes the modified settings.
Policy narrative
During npm installation, the postinstall hook checks for global CodeBuddy and Claude Code settings. When found, it adds commands for session start, prompt submission, and pre- and post-tool events, then writes the settings without a consent prompt. These commands are configured to run on later AI-tool events.
AI rationale
The active postinstall lifecycle hook silently mutates global AI-agent configuration and registers package commands for future events. This is unconsented install-time control-surface mutation, supporting a block.
Evidence
package.jsonscripts/postinstall.js
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI identified this as a dangerous AI-agent capability at 98.0% confidence with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for policy risk
- package.json runs scripts/postinstall.js during installation.
- scripts/postinstall.js checks for global CodeBuddy and Claude Code settings, then adds hooks for session start, prompts, and tool use.
- The hook additions run without a consent check and preserve existing hook entries.
- The postinstall hook writes the modified global settings files and invokes registration for both tools.
