## 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:** 0.2.2
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

LPM treats this as warn-only first-party agent extension lifecycle risk. npm postinstall upgrades previously registered AstraWorks projects, alters their configured agent skill/instruction surfaces, and starts a local daemon. This is a documented first-party lifecycle integration, but it is an unprompted persistent mutation.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** npm postinstall upgrades previously registered AstraWorks projects, alters their configured agent skill/instruction surfaces, and starts a local daemon. This is a documented first-party lifecycle integration, but it is an unprompted persistent mutation.

- **Trigger:** npm postinstall

- **Impact:** Modifies AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md-style managed content and agent skill directories in registered projects; creates local runtime/service state.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, dist/install/runtime.mjs, README.md

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-26T06:06:00.778Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** forced registered-project upgrade and local service startup

- **Rationale:** The package has meaningful unconsented lifecycle mutation and persistence, but source ties it to documented, first-party registered projects and shows no concrete malicious or exfiltration behavior.

- **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.mjs, dist/install/runtime.mjs, AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, .agents/skills, .claude/skills, .cursor/skills, .codebuddy/skills, .astraworks

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 93.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** Install-time hook forces upgrades of every registered AstraWorks project., Upgrade replaces package-managed agent skills and rewrites agent instruction files., Postinstall starts a persistent local engine; macOS default uses launchd.

- **Evidence against:** Registered projects are prior AstraWorks enrollments, not arbitrary discovery targets., No credential harvesting or external exfiltration endpoint was confirmed., README documents the auto-start and project-agent integration behavior.
