It copies behavior-bearing skills and hooks, then registers the hooks to run before Bash tool use. - **Trigger:** npm install runs the package postinstall lifecycle script. - **Impact:** A dependency installation persists package-controlled behavior in a broad AI-agent control surface without user consent. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.cjs, hooks/winappdriver-session-guard.sh, hooks/commit-message-gate.sh - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-27T15:08:12.815Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** install-time Claude Code skill, hook, and settings mutation - **Attack narrative:** On npm installation, the postinstall script copies this package's skills into Claude directories, copies executable hook scripts into the user's Claude hook directory, and adds command-hook entries to the user's Claude settings. Those entries activate on PreToolUse for Bash, making package code part of future agent command handling without an explicit setup action by the user. - **Rationale:** This package performs unconsented postinstall mutation of a foreign, user-wide Claude Code control surface. That concrete persistence and hook registration meets the blocking policy even though no exfiltration endpoint was found. - **Files touched:** ~/.claude/skills, \/.claude/skills, ~/.claude/hooks, ~/.claude/settings.json, hooks/winappdriver-session-guard.sh, hooks/commit-message-gate.sh ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The postinstall lifecycle runs automatically during npm installation., Install code copies package skills into both project and user Claude skill directories., Install code copies shell hooks into the user Claude hooks directory and registers them in the user's Claude settings file., The registered hooks run before Bash tool use, extending Claude Code control outside an explicit user command. - **Evidence against:** No external network endpoint or credential exfiltration was found in the inspected lifecycle and hook code., The hook bodies mostly warn about local Appium setup and commit-message formatting, but they are still installed and enabled without consent. ## Public findings ### 1.
