Package-controlled shell hooks can run for later Claude Bash tool uses. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Warn by default - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Soft block: AI-agent control surface - **Selected version:** 0.1.1 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Installing the package alters both project and user-wide Claude control surfaces. It installs skills, hooks, and persistent PreToolUse command registrations without an explicit user command. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-26T11:15:08.315Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-26T11:15:57.225Z - **Download time:** 516 ms - **Static scan time:** 169 ms - **AI review time:** 48223 ms - **Total time:** 48910 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installing the package alters both project and user-wide Claude control surfaces. It installs skills, hooks, and persistent PreToolUse command registrations without an explicit user command. - **Trigger:** npm install - **Impact:** Package-controlled shell hooks can run for later Claude Bash tool uses. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.cjs, hooks/commit-message-gate.sh, hooks/winappdriver-session-guard.sh - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-26T11:15:57.225Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall copies and registers Claude Code hooks - **Attack narrative:** On npm installation, the lifecycle script copies package skills into project and home Claude directories, copies shell hooks to the user-wide Claude hooks directory, and adds command-hook entries to the user's Claude settings. This establishes persistent package-controlled execution in an AI-agent control surface without a separate user setup action. - **Rationale:** The install-time mutation of a user-wide foreign AI-agent configuration and registration of executable hooks is a concrete policy-blocking chain. No exfiltration was found, but it is not required for this install-control-surface violation. - **Files touched:** \/.claude/skills/\*, $HOME/.claude/skills/\*, $HOME/.claude/hooks/\*, $HOME/.claude/settings.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** postinstall runs automatically on npm install., Postinstall copies skills into project and user Claude directories., Postinstall copies hook scripts and registers them in ~/.claude/settings.json., Registered PreToolUse Bash hooks execute package-controlled commands. - **Evidence against:** No remote endpoint, credential harvesting, or exfiltration found., The shipped hooks are testing/commit-message guards and are session-gated. ## Public findings ### 1.
