Package-authored instructions become available to the user's AI harness without explicit consent, potentially influencing subsequent agent behavior. - **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:** 0.7.8 - **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. Automatic postinstall can place package-supplied agents and skills into GitHub Copilot's user control surface without confirmation. This affects a foreign AI harness beyond the installed package directory. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-01T05:32:27.710Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-01T05:33:55.475Z - **Download time:** 6664 ms - **Static scan time:** 828 ms - **AI review time:** 80271 ms - **Total time:** 87765 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Automatic postinstall can place package-supplied agents and skills into GitHub Copilot's user control surface without confirmation. This affects a foreign AI harness beyond the installed package directory. - **Trigger:** An npm installation with lifecycle scripts enabled, successful binary provisioning, and no available interactive terminal. - **Impact:** Package-authored instructions become available to the user's AI harness without explicit consent, potentially influencing subsequent agent behavior. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, src/harnesses.mjs, src/install-user-assets.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-01T05:33:55.475Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The postinstall script selects GitHub Copilot by default in noninteractive mode and copies bundled agent and skill files into its user directory. - **Attack narrative:** During installation, the postinstall script invokes harness asset setup. When no interactive terminal is available and no harness override is supplied, it automatically selects GitHub Copilot. The asset installer copies bundled agents and skills into the user's .copilot directory. Interactive prompting and conflict preservation do not guard this noninteractive path, which mutates a foreign AI-agent control surface without confirmation. - **Rationale:** Source establishes unconsented postinstall mutation of a foreign AI-agent control surface, meeting the specified blocking policy. The interactive consent path does not protect noninteractive installations. - **Files touched:** .copilot ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** package.json automatically runs scripts/postinstall.mjs after installation., The postinstall entrypoint invokes harness asset installation and defaults to installing assets without confirmation when no terminal is available., The noninteractive default selects GitHub Copilot, whose destination is the user's .copilot directory., The installer collects bundled agent and skill files and writes them into the selected harness directory. - **Evidence against:** Interactive installation offers a selection prompt and supports skipping asset installation., The asset installer preserves conflicting customizations rather than overwriting them. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to sap-ai-dev-toolkit@0.7.8. - Avoid installing sap-ai-dev-toolkit@0.7.8. 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.
