Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged as agent extension risk** — Allowed by default with warning: install-time first-party agent extension setup was detected. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Warn-only agent extension risk - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Agent extension lifecycle risk - **Selected version:** 1.120.1 - **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. LPM treats this as warn-only first-party agent extension lifecycle risk. The postinstall hook refreshes a bundled skill and installs package skills into global agent skill directories. This is automatic first-party agent extension setup, so it warrants a warning under the review policy. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-07T20:45:03.012Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-07T20:46:09.869Z - **Download time:** 1766 ms - **Static scan time:** 6759 ms - **AI review time:** 58330 ms - **Total time:** 66857 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:** The postinstall hook refreshes a bundled skill and installs package skills into global agent skill directories. This is automatic first-party agent extension setup, so it warrants a warning under the review policy. - **Trigger:** npm install or update runs the package postinstall hook. - **Impact:** Agent tools may load or apply package-provided skills globally after installation. - **Evidence paths:** src/interfaces/cli/postinstall.js, src/core/apc/scaffold.js, src/core/apc/skill-sync.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-07T20:46:09.869Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook calls installGlobalSkills, which copies bundled SKILL.md files into global agent skill directories; it also attempts to refresh the APC context skill. - **Rationale:** The package automatically installs skills into global agent locations during postinstall, creating an agent extension lifecycle risk. The source inspected supports a warning for first-party setup, not a malicious verdict. - **Files touched:** src/interfaces/cli/postinstall.js, src/core/apc/scaffold.js, src/core/apc/skill-sync.js - **Network endpoints:** raw.githubusercontent.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The package postinstall hook invokes code that refreshes a bundled agent skill and installs global skills., Global skills are written into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and other skills.sh agent directories., The installer copies package-bundled skills into those global directories, making this an automatic first-party agent extension setup., The requested scaffold target maps the apx skill to Claude Code's project skill path., MCP configuration sources include foreign IDE files; the source comments describe these as read-only discovery inputs. - **Evidence against:** The agent integration is a skill setup belonging to the APX package, a case designated warning-only by the review policy., The inspected MCP source lists configuration inputs and does not establish that this path writes to those configurations. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @agentprojectcontext/apx@1.120.1. - Review the evidence and your use of @agentprojectcontext/apx@1.120.1 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.
