## Verdict summary
**Soft block: AI-agent control surface** — Warn by default; block when configured. Future Claude or Codex sessions can load package-controlled instructions that register and receive package bus messages.

- **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:** 3.1.0
- **Selected version is latest:** Yes
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. The postinstall hook changes Claude and Codex user skill directories without a user command. It replaces existing targets and makes package instruction files available to those agents.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** The postinstall hook changes Claude and Codex user skill directories without a user command. It replaces existing targets and makes package instruction files available to those agents.

- **Trigger:** npm postinstall

- **Impact:** Future Claude or Codex sessions can load package-controlled instructions that register and receive package bus messages.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-26T15:29:40.319Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Automatic replacement and linking of AI-agent skill directories

- **Attack narrative:** Installing the package runs a postinstall hook that deletes existing targets and links its bundled skills into Claude and Codex user skill directories. Those skills direct external agents to register with the package MCP service and establish message delivery. This is an unconsented install-time mutation of broad, foreign AI-agent control surfaces.

- **Rationale:** Direct source inspection confirms unconsented postinstall mutation of both Claude and Codex global skill directories, including replacement of existing targets. The installed instructions establish an agent-control channel, satisfying the block policy.

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

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 99.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** The postinstall hook replaces an existing file, directory, or link and creates a package-controlled symbolic link., Installation automatically adds every packaged skill to both Claude and Codex user skill directories., The installed skill instructs externally hosted agents to register with the package MCP service and establish a receive path.

- **Evidence against:** The Codex MCP configuration writer is exposed through an explicit command rather than the install hook., No install-time network request or credential exfiltration was found in the inspected hook.
