Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged as AI-agent capability risk** — Allowed by default with warning: agent-facing configuration or capability changes need review before use. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Warn-only AI-agent capability risk - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** AI-agent capability abuse - **Selected version:** 0.1.6 - **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. Review flagged AI-agent configuration or capability changes. This remains warn-only unless evidence shows foreign-agent hijack through preinstall/install/postinstall, hidden persistence, exfiltration, remote code execution, or other concrete malicious behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-04T10:16:04.994Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-04T10:17:03.537Z - **Download time:** 520 ms - **Static scan time:** 36 ms - **AI review time:** 57986 ms - **Total time:** 58543 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 separate shell installer changes persistent instructions for three AI agents. No automatic npm install-time attack was established. - **Trigger:** Explicit execution of scripts/install.sh when the target agent directories exist. - **Impact:** Future agent sessions can inherit these instructions, and existing braid.md content can be replaced. - **Evidence paths:** scripts/install.sh - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-04T10:17:03.537Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The installer writes workspace coordination instructions into each existing agent rules directory, overwriting braid.md. - **Rationale:** The explicit shell installer modifies persistent AI-agent instructions, warranting a capability warning under the supplied policy. No concrete malicious chain was established; native binary internals remain outside the inspected source behavior. - **Files touched:** $HOME/.claude/rules/braid.md, $HOME/.config/opencode/instructions/braid.md, $HOME/.gemini/antigravity/rules/braid.md - **Network endpoints:** github.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** scripts/install.sh overwrites Braid rules in existing Claude, OpenCode, and Antigravity configuration directories., The shell installer's main function calls install\_rules after installing its binary., package.json routes the CLI and main entrypoint to bin/run.js; the launcher executes a native binary with caller arguments and environment. - **Evidence against:** package.json defines no lifecycle scripts or runtime self-dependency., Agent rule writes require separately running the shell installer; the inspected launcher does not invoke it., Platform checks validate native executable compatibility; no concrete sandbox evasion or credential exfiltration was established. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @axiomantic/vine@0.1.6. - Review the evidence and your use of @axiomantic/vine@0.1.6 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.
