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:** 5.34.0 - **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. The inspected source supports a guarded first-party agent extension lifecycle warning because later executions automatically update installed agent instructions. No npm install hook or concrete malicious behavior supports blocking publication. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-30T00:21:30.457Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-30T00:23:18.856Z - **Download time:** 1268 ms - **Static scan time:** 15504 ms - **AI review time:** 91626 ms - **Total time:** 108399 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:** Canonry installs its own agent skills during explicit setup and refreshes existing installations during later CLI or MCP runs. This establishes a guarded agent extension lifecycle capability, without a confirmed malicious attack. - **Trigger:** User-invoked setup or skills installation, followed by CLI or MCP execution after a version change or synchronization interval. - **Impact:** Previously installed agent instructions can change automatically as package assets change; local edits are preserved by default. - **Evidence paths:** dist/cli.js, dist/mcp.js, dist/chunk-VHPGBX4P.js, dist/chunk-QTETJEHI.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-30T00:23:18.856Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Existing bundled-skill manifests authorize synchronization in the home or current project directory; stale bundled files are copied without a new prompt. - **Rationale:** The inspected source supports a guarded first-party agent extension lifecycle warning because later executions automatically update installed agent instructions. No npm install hook or concrete malicious behavior supports blocking publication. - **Files touched:** .claude/skills/canonry, .claude/skills/aero, .codex/skills/canonry, .codex/skills/aero ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** User-invoked initialization installs bundled agent skills unless skipSkills is set., Later CLI and MCP runs automatically synchronize previously installed skills., Synchronization targets only bundled skills with an existing installation manifest., Synchronization replaces stale bundled files but preserves local edits unless forced., Automatic synchronization can be disabled through CANONRY\_NO\_AUTO\_SKILLS\_SYNC., package.json has no npm installation lifecycle hook or runtime self-dependency. - **Evidence against:** No concrete malicious attack was established in the inspected integration paths., The flagged plugin setup location only formats update advice; the flagged health check reads skill installation status. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @canonry/canonry@5.34.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @canonry/canonry@5.34.0 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.
