Unconsented mutation of foreign coding-agent skill directories for Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, and similar hosts, changing how those agents behave in later sessions. - **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:** 0.4.0 - **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. On npm install, postinstall unconditionally runs the bundled installer with the install argument. That installer is described as probing several coding-agent hosts and writing a complete assistant skill directory into each host official skill directory. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-22T19:01:55.554Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-22T19:03:15.954Z - **Download time:** 755 ms - **Static scan time:** 113 ms - **AI review time:** 79531 ms - **Total time:** 80400 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

That installer is described as probing several coding-agent hosts and writing a complete assistant skill directory into each host official skill directory. - **Trigger:** Automatic npm postinstall during package installation. - **Impact:** Unconsented mutation of foreign coding-agent skill directories for Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, and similar hosts, changing how those agents behave in later sessions. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/postinstall.js, bin/super-audit.js, README.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-22T19:03:15.954Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** bin/postinstall.js spawns bin/super-audit.js with install, and that shim executes the matching dist platform binary with the same arguments. - **Attack narrative:** Installing super-audit runs a postinstall script that launches the platform shim with install. The shim executes a bundled native binary and forwards that command. The package describes this install as detecting local coding agents and writing a full assistant skill set into their official skill directories. A dependency install therefore changes agent control files the user did not separately approve. - **Rationale:** The install lifecycle unconditionally invokes an installer whose stated effect is writing skills into multiple third-party agent hosts. That is unconsented postinstall mutation of a broad AI-agent control surface. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** npm install runs postinstall, which executes node bin/postinstall.js with no user prompt., postinstall always spawns bin/super-audit.js with the install argument., The shim selects a bundled platform binary and runs it with the forwarded arguments, so install reaches the opaque installer., Package metadata and README state that install detects Codex, Claude Code, and OpenCode and writes a full assistant skill tree into each host official skill directory. - **Evidence against:** The same install command is also documented as an explicit CLI action., The JavaScript layer has no network client, credential read, or eval., The platform binaries are opaque, so the exact destination paths are not visible as text. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to super-audit@0.4.0. - Avoid installing super-audit@0.4.0. 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.
