Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 16 finding(s) warrant review before installing. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Staged Payload Carrier - **Selected version:** 3.0.3 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The automatic hook delivers an unverified executable, creating a real but unconfirmed payload risk. No inspected source establishes malicious behavior, so this warrants a warning rather than a publish block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-07T22:51:32.976Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-07T22:52:04.025Z - **Download time:** 513 ms - **Static scan time:** 1354 ms - **AI review time:** 29182 ms - **Total time:** 31049 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:** An automatic postinstall hook downloads and installs a platform-specific executable from a fixed project release URL without verifying its integrity. - **Trigger:** npm installation on a supported platform when the target executable is absent. - **Impact:** The release host can supply code that becomes available as the package CLI; source inspection does not establish malicious payload behavior. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/postinstall.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-07T22:52:04.025Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook fetches a release archive, extracts it with tar, and copies the executable into the package’s bin directory. - **Rationale:** The automatic hook delivers an unverified executable, creating a real but unconfirmed payload risk. No inspected source establishes malicious behavior, so this warrants a warning rather than a publish block. - **Files touched:** bin/agentx - **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/SohailKhan0525/agentxcode/releases/download/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** package.json runs bin/postinstall.mjs automatically after installation., The hook downloads a platform-specific archive from the project’s GitHub release URL without source-level integrity verification., It extracts the archive and copies its executable into the package bin directory., The flagged LSP code parses local Java version output and fetches a language server distribution; it does not send command output to an external endpoint. - **Evidence against:** The downloaded executable is associated with the package’s own project release and is installed in the package’s bin directory., The LSP source’s network requests and local command use are consistent with language server setup. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @agent-qofeno/agentx-cli@3.0.3. - Review the evidence and your use of @agent-qofeno/agentx-cli@3.0.3 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
