Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Soft block: AI-agent control surface** — Warn by default; block when configured. This can replace project-specific AI agent instructions and change the guidance available to agents working in that project. - **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:** 0.5.0 - **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. The package has an active npm postinstall path that unconsentedly overwrites a consumer project's existing AI agent instruction file. This is a concrete AI agent control hijack, so publication should be blocked. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 97.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-09T18:34:01.233Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-09T18:34:56.857Z - **Download time:** 517 ms - **Static scan time:** 556 ms - **AI review time:** 54548 ms - **Total time:** 55624 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:** The npm postinstall hook can replace a consumer project's existing AGENTS.md with the package's AI agent guide. - **Trigger:** Installing or updating schematic-pg through npm when INIT\_CWD points to a consumer project containing AGENTS.md. - **Impact:** This can replace project-specific AI agent instructions and change the guidance available to agents working in that project. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, dist/cli/postinstall.js, dist/cli/sync-agents.js, dist/cli/templates/agents.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-09T18:34:56.857Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook resolves INIT\_CWD and overwrites AGENTS.md with generated package content without requesting consent. - **Attack narrative:** During npm postinstall, the package uses INIT\_CWD to find the consumer project. If that project already has AGENTS.md, the hook writes the package guide over it without asking first, replacing the project's AI agent instructions. - **Rationale:** The package has an active npm postinstall path that unconsentedly overwrites a consumer project's existing AI agent instruction file. This is a concrete AI agent control hijack, so publication should be blocked. - **Files touched:** \/AGENTS.md ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 97.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** package.json runs scripts/postinstall.mjs during npm postinstall., The postinstall script imports and executes the compiled postinstall module., The hook uses INIT\_CWD to locate the consumer project, then replaces its existing AGENTS.md with the package guide without a consent check., The destination is an AI agent instruction file, and the package guide says it is replaced on install or update. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to schematic-pg@0.5.0. - Avoid installing schematic-pg@0.5.0. 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.
