## Verdict summary
**Soft block: AI-agent control surface** — Warn by default; block when configured. Unconsented control of installed agent instruction surfaces and interactive agent terminals.

- **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:** 3.0.31
- **Selected version is latest:** Yes
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Installation silently replaces named Claude/Codex skill directories with package-controlled symlinks. Those skills authorize injected work, while the runtime can type commands into tmux panes.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Installation silently replaces named Claude/Codex skill directories with package-controlled symlinks. Those skills authorize injected work, while the runtime can type commands into tmux panes.

- **Trigger:** npm postinstall

- **Impact:** Unconsented control of installed agent instruction surfaces and interactive agent terminals.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-25T13:55:05.414Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** foreign AI-agent skill installation plus command injection

- **Attack narrative:** On npm installation, the package removes existing named skill paths and symlinks its own skills into global Claude and Codex skill directories without user action. The installed instructions treat direct bus injections as work and direct immediate execution; the included runtime can send commands to tmux panes. This is an unconsented postinstall mutation of broad foreign AI-agent control surfaces.

- **Rationale:** Concrete postinstall code mutates global Claude and Codex skill roots and installs instructions that accept injected work. This meets the firewall block threshold regardless of the absence of lifecycle network exfiltration.

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

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 98.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** npm postinstall runs automatically., Postinstall recursively removes existing skill paths and replaces them with symlinks., It installs packaged skills into Claude and Codex home skill directories., Installed skill directs agents to execute injected bus tasks immediately., Runtime can send commands and Enter to tmux panes.

- **Evidence against:** No lifecycle network request or credential exfiltration found., The MCP listener defaults to loopback and uses bearer-token authentication.
