## Verdict summary
**Flagged as agent extension risk** — Allowed by default with warning: install-time first-party agent extension setup was detected.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Warn-only agent extension risk
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Agent extension lifecycle risk
- **Selected version:** 3.0.22
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

LPM treats this as warn-only first-party agent extension lifecycle risk. npm postinstall mutates global Claude and Codex skill directories. The installed package skills can then be automatically discovered by agent hosts.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** npm postinstall mutates global Claude and Codex skill directories. The installed package skills can then be automatically discovered by agent hosts.

- **Trigger:** Installing u-foo@3.0.22 through npm.

- **Impact:** Unconsented first-party agent-extension installation affects future Claude/Codex sessions; no install-time exfiltration or remote payload execution was found.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, scripts/postinstall-skills.js, SKILLS/ufoo-bus/SKILL.md, src/code/skills/loader.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-07-29T16:48:09.358Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** Postinstall replaces same-named global skill paths with symlinks to bundled SKILLS directories.

- **Rationale:** The package has a concrete automatic global agent-skill installation surface, warranting a warning. Its observed lifecycle behavior is first-party extension setup rather than the policy threshold for a publish block.

- **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.js, scripts/postinstall-skills.js, SKILLS/ufoo-bus/, SKILLS/ufoo-context/, SKILLS/ufoo-online/, ~/.claude/skills/ufoo-bus, ${CODEX\_HOME:-~/.codex}/skills/ufoo-bus

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** package.json runs scripts/postinstall.js automatically., scripts/postinstall.js symlinks bundled skills into ~/.claude/skills and ${CODEX\_HOME:-~/.codex}/skills., forceSymlink removes an existing file, directory, or symlink at each same-named target., Bundled SKILL.md files direct agent bus and remote-relay behavior.

- **Evidence against:** Postinstall makes no network request or credential read., Targets are named ufoo skills sourced from this package, not general config files., External relay and OAuth endpoints occur in user-invoked runtime features.
