The package can add workflow instructions to detected AI-agent skill directories. - **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:** 5.0.0 - **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. Installing the package automatically launches a bundled executable that installs assistant skills. This mutates AI-agent skill control surfaces without an explicit user command. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-27T18:24:51.188Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-27T18:26:40.435Z - **Download time:** 759 ms - **Static scan time:** 119 ms - **AI review time:** 108368 ms - **Total time:** 109247 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:** Installing the package automatically launches a bundled executable that installs assistant skills. This mutates AI-agent skill control surfaces without an explicit user command. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall during package installation. - **Impact:** The package can add workflow instructions to detected AI-agent skill directories. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/postinstall.js, bin/super-audit.js, dist/super-audit-darwin-arm64 - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-27T18:26:40.435Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** A lifecycle hook invokes the shim with install, and the shim executes the platform-specific bundled binary. - **Attack narrative:** The package runs automatically at installation. Its postinstall hook invokes an install command through a shim, which executes an opaque native binary. The binary contains an assistant skill installer structure. This creates an unconsented install-time path to modify agent skill directories, rather than requiring the user to run the advertised CLI command. - **Rationale:** The automatic postinstall chain executes an opaque installer that targets AI-agent skill infrastructure. This is unconsented lifecycle mutation of a broad foreign agent control surface. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** The package registers an automatic postinstall hook., The postinstall hook runs the command shim with the install argument., The shim forwards its arguments to a bundled platform executable., The bundled executable contains an assistant skill-root installer payload. - **Evidence against:** No package dependency or network endpoint is declared in package.json. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to super-audit@5.0.0. - Avoid installing super-audit@5.0.0. 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.
