u-foo@3.1.3

Multi-Agent Workspace Protocol. Just add u. claude → uclaude, codex → ucodex.

AI Security Review

scanned 4h ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Automatic installation alters global Claude and Codex skill control surfaces. It removes existing filesystem objects at target skill paths and replaces them with symlinks to package-controlled skills.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review

Trigger

npm installation, through the postinstall lifecycle hook.

Impact

The package gains automatic influence over available Claude and Codex skills without an explicit setup command.

Mechanism

Global AI-agent skill and command link mutation.

Policy narrative

On installation, package.json invokes scripts/postinstall.js. That hook enumerates bundled skills, removes an existing file, directory, or symlink at each target, and creates symlinks in the user's global Claude and Codex skill directories. It also removes selected Claude command links. This is an unconsented postinstall mutation of foreign AI-agent control surfaces, so later agent sessions can load package-provided instructions without the user explicitly running a setup command.

Rationale

The automatic postinstall hook broadly mutates global Claude and Codex skill directories and removes selected command links. This meets the install-time foreign AI-agent control-surface abuse boundary despite no observed install-time exfiltration.
