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:** 3.0.4 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **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 postinstall creates an integrity-unverified executable delivery path, but the source points to the package's own release and does not show an active attack. This supports a warning for a staged payload carrier, not a block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-07T22:51:38.630Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-07T22:52:02.203Z - **Download time:** 1281 ms - **Static scan time:** 1264 ms - **AI review time:** 21027 ms - **Total time:** 23573 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:** Installation automatically downloads and installs a native executable without checking the archive's integrity. This is a staged payload risk; inspected source does not establish malicious behavior in the binary. - **Trigger:** npm installation on a supported platform when the target binary is absent. - **Impact:** A compromised or substituted release archive could supply executable code that runs when the CLI is invoked. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/postinstall.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-07T22:52:02.203Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The postinstall fetches a fixed release archive, extracts it with tar, and copies the executable into bin. - **Rationale:** The postinstall creates an integrity-unverified executable delivery path, but the source points to the package's own release and does not show an active attack. This supports a warning for a staged payload carrier, not a block. - **Files touched:** bin/agentx - **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/SohailKhan0525/agentxcode/releases/download/v3.0.1/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** package.json runs bin/postinstall.mjs automatically during installation., The postinstall downloads a platform binary archive from the package's GitHub release URL., The script extracts the archive and copies the resulting executable into the package's bin directory without verifying its integrity. - **Evidence against:** The downloaded binary is hosted at the package's own GitHub release location; inspected source does not establish malicious payload behavior., The reported LSP command output is used to locate the local sourcekit-lsp executable, with no external send shown in the inspected excerpt. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @agent-qofeno/agentx-cli@3.0.4. - Review the evidence and your use of @agent-qofeno/agentx-cli@3.0.4 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.
