## 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:** 0.25.1
- **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 hook automatically installs package-owned skills into the user’s Claude skills directory, which warrants a warning for agent extension lifecycle risk. The inspected authentication flow does not substantiate the scanner’s credential exfiltration finding.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 87.0%

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 adds package-provided skills to the user’s Claude skills directory. This is a first-party agent extension setup and presents a lifecycle risk.

- **Trigger:** Installing the package with its postinstall hook enabled and the bundled installer present.

- **Impact:** Package-provided skills become available to Claude after installation.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, dist/cli/skills-install.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-22T05:59:00.909Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The hook runs the bundled installer, which copies Markdown skill files from the package into ~/.claude/skills.

- **Rationale:** The postinstall hook automatically installs package-owned skills into the user’s Claude skills directory, which warrants a warning for agent extension lifecycle risk. The inspected authentication flow does not substantiate the scanner’s credential exfiltration finding.

- **Files touched:** ~/.claude/skills/

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 87.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** package.json runs scripts/postinstall.mjs during installation., The postinstall invokes the bundled skills installer unless EMDEE\_SKIP\_POSTINSTALL=1 or the bundle is absent., The installer copies package skill Markdown files into the user’s ~/.claude/skills directory., The login flow obtains a token from its configured host and stores that host with the token; whoami sends it to that same host.

- **Evidence against:** The inspected authentication flow does not send an existing unrelated session token to a separate recipient., The scanner’s credential warning is not supported by the inspected token exchange and whoami paths.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @aisystemresources/emdee@0.25.1.

- Review the evidence and your use of @aisystemresources/emdee@0.25.1 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.
