## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** npm postinstall alters Claude and Codex global skill directories without a user command. It replaces existing entries and links package-controlled agent instructions.

- **Trigger:** Installing u-foo@3.0.24 through npm.

- **Impact:** Changes broad foreign AI-agent control surfaces and can replace existing user skill entries.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-07-30T16:33:55.974Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Install-time overwrite-and-symlink of global AI-agent skills.

- **Attack narrative:** On npm postinstall, the package enumerates its bundled SKILLS and installs them into global Claude and Codex skill roots. Its forceSymlink helper recursively removes any existing target before creating a symlink to package-controlled instructions. This is unconsented install-time mutation of broad, foreign AI-agent control surfaces.

- **Rationale:** Source inspection confirms the critical behavior directly: postinstall overwrites global Claude/Codex skill entries rather than requiring an explicit setup command. This meets the firewall block boundary even without a remote payload or credential exfiltration chain.

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

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 99.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** package.json runs scripts/postinstall.js on npm postinstall., scripts/postinstall.js unconditionally targets ~/.claude/skills and ${CODEX\_HOME:-~/.codex}/skills., forceSymlink removes an existing file, directory, or symlink before linking package SKILLS., Installed SKILLS direct agent session behavior and MCP/bus registration.

- **Evidence against:** The postinstall code does not fetch a remote payload or exfiltrate data., Network code elsewhere is package functionality, not used by postinstall.
