Adds package-controlled instructions to multiple AI-agent control surfaces and overwrites prior same-named skills. - **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:** 1.0.1 - **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. LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Automatic installation modifies six vendor-neutral or vendor-specific AI-agent skill locations in the user's home directory. It replaces any existing skill with the same name without an explicit user setup command. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-08T11:23:13.769Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-08T11:24:00.915Z - **Download time:** 255 ms - **Static scan time:** 35 ms - **AI review time:** 46855 ms - **Total time:** 47146 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 installation modifies six vendor-neutral or vendor-specific AI-agent skill locations in the user's home directory. It replaces any existing skill with the same name without an explicit user setup command. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall - **Impact:** Adds package-controlled instructions to multiple AI-agent control surfaces and overwrites prior same-named skills. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, cli.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-08T11:24:00.915Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Recursive replacement and copying into AI-agent skill directories - **Attack narrative:** Installing the npm package automatically runs cli.js. With no arguments, the code selects six agent platforms, deletes any existing transcript-summary skill folder in each home-directory control surface, and copies the package into those locations. This is unconsented install-time mutation of broad AI-agent control surfaces. - **Rationale:** The postinstall hook automatically and destructively installs a skill across multiple unrelated AI-agent directories. This meets the install-control-surface blocking policy despite no observed credential theft. - **Files touched:** $HOME/.grok/skills/transcript-summary, $HOME/.claude/skills/transcript-summary, $HOME/.copilot/skills/transcript-summary, $HOME/.gemini/skills/transcript-summary, $HOME/.codex/skills/transcript-summary, $HOME/.agents/skills/transcript-summary ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** The package runs cli.js automatically in postinstall., The installer defaults to installing into six separate AI-agent skill directories under the user's home directory., It recursively removes each existing transcript-summary skill directory before copying its files there. - **Evidence against:** The normal packaged path uses the included SKILL.md, so its remote-download fallback is not reached., No credential collection or data-exfiltration code was found in the inspected source. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to transcript-summary-skill@1.0.1. - Avoid installing transcript-summary-skill@1.0.1. 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.
