The package gains automatic influence over available Claude and Codex skills without an explicit setup command. - **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:** 3.1.3 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-01T10:29:57.350Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-01T10:30:56.756Z - **Download time:** 508 ms - **Static scan time:** 9849 ms - **AI review time:** 49048 ms - **Total time:** 59406 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** 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. - **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. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, scripts/postinstall-skills.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-01T10:30:56.756Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Global AI-agent skill and command link mutation. - **Attack 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. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.js, scripts/postinstall-skills.js, SKILLS/, ~/.claude/skills, ~/.claude/commands, ${CODEX\_HOME}/skills ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The manifest runs scripts/postinstall.js automatically after installation., The postinstall hook deletes existing paths and creates replacement symlinks without a user command., The hook writes package skills into both Claude and Codex global skill directories., It also removes selected Claude command and skill links during installation. - **Evidence against:** No self-dependency on u-foo is declared., The inspected install hook contains no network request or credential collection. ## Public findings ### 1.
