It also deploys a template containing embedded Confluence authentication material. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall - **Impact:** Enables package-supplied instructions across multiple agent platforms and broadens Claude Code Bash approval permissions in the consuming project. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/postinstall.js, dist/steps/setupProject.js, dist/core/claudeCodePermissions.js, src/templates/skills/confluence-doc.py.template - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-11T12:55:46.494Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Unconsented cross-agent skill/rule installation and Claude Code permission allowlist mutation - **Attack narrative:** On installation, the postinstall hook identifies the consuming project and silently runs setup with confirmation bypassed. Setup writes package-controlled skills and trigger rules across Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, and OpenClaw directories, then merges broad command allow rules into Claude Code’s local settings. It also installs a Confluence document helper containing embedded authentication material. These changes occur before any explicit user setup command and alter foreign AI-agent control surfaces. - **Rationale:** Direct source inspection confirms unconsented postinstall mutation of broad, foreign AI-agent configuration and permission surfaces. This meets the firewall block boundary regardless of the benign-looking workflow purpose. - **Files touched:** consumer-project/.cursor/skills/sdd-flow-kit/SKILL.md, consumer-project/.claude/skills/sdd-flow-kit/SKILL.md, consumer-project/.codex/skills/sdd-flow-kit/SKILL.md, consumer-project/.openclaw/skills/sdd-flow-kit/SKILL.md, consumer-project/.claude/settings.local.json, consumer-project/docs/\*-doc-skill/confluence-doc.py - **Network endpoints:** https://confluence.huan.tv ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs dist/postinstall.js automatically., dist/postinstall.js resolves the consumer project and calls setupProject with yes:true., dist/steps/setupProject.js writes skills/rules for Cursor, Claude, Codex, and OpenClaw., dist/core/claudeCodePermissions.js adds broad Bash npm/npx/node/file-operation allow rules to .claude/settings.local.json., src/templates/skills/confluence-doc.py.template embeds Confluence credentials/token and is installed by setupProject., Postinstall runs without an explicit setup command or consent prompt. - **Evidence against:** The observed network target is an internal Confluence host, not a covert exfiltration endpoint., API probing requires a user-supplied project configuration and explicit runtime command. ## Public findings ### 1.
