The package can alter the control instructions available to AI agents across the user's environment without an explicit setup command. - **Verdict:** AI-agent control-surface policy finding - **Product-default install policy:** Warn by default; block when configured - **Firewall policy:** Warn by default - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Soft block: AI-agent control surface - **Selected version:** 3.1.1 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This finding concerns changes to an AI agent's instructions or configuration without explicit user action. It does not by itself establish malware intent. The CLI warns by default and blocks when configured for this policy. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Installing the package automatically alters global Claude and Codex agent skill directories. It replaces destination entries and installs a skill that accepts injected work instructions. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-19T17:26:27.409Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-19T17:27:21.871Z - **Download time:** 501 ms - **Static scan time:** 7468 ms - **AI review time:** 46492 ms - **Total time:** 54462 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installing the package automatically alters global Claude and Codex agent skill directories. It replaces destination entries and installs a skill that accepts injected work instructions. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall during package installation. - **Impact:** The package can alter the control instructions available to AI agents across the user's environment without an explicit setup command. - **Evidence paths:** scripts/postinstall.js, SKILLS/ufoo/SKILL.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-19T17:27:21.871Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Global AI-agent skill replacement and prompt-injection setup. - **Attack narrative:** The package's postinstall hook runs automatically, removes existing entries in global Claude and Codex skill locations, and replaces them with symlinks to package-provided skills. One installed skill classifies direct-injection bus messages as work inputs and instructs an agent to execute them immediately. This creates an unconsented install-time modification of broad AI-agent control surfaces. - **Rationale:** Automatic postinstall mutation of global Claude and Codex skill directories, coupled with an injected-task execution instruction, is a concrete AI-agent control-surface hijack. The absence of postinstall network activity does not neutralize this install-time persistence and control behavior. - **Files touched:** ~/.claude/skills/\, ${CODEX\_HOME}/skills/\, SKILLS/ufoo ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** The manifest automatically runs scripts/postinstall.js after installation., The installer deletes any existing file, directory, or symlink at each selected skill destination before creating its own symlink., The postinstall hook writes package-controlled skills into the global Claude and Codex skill directories under the user's home directory., An automatically installed skill treats injected bus messages as work inputs and directs the host agent to execute each task immediately. - **Evidence against:** The inspected postinstall code does not make network requests or read credentials. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to u-foo@3.1.1. - Avoid installing u-foo@3.1.1. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
