# @canonry/canonry@7.12.0 npm security report

## 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:** 7.12.0
- **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.

Source inspection found agent skill synchronization and project MCP configuration capabilities, while package.json shows no npm lifecycle hook. Because the synchronization activation path remains unresolved, this warrants a warning for agent extension lifecycle risk, not a publish block.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 70.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-08T17:26:14.750Z

- **Download time:** 1530 ms
- **Static scan time:** 16166 ms

- **Total time:** 69507 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 package includes agent skill and MCP configuration capabilities. The inspected code supports skill installation or refresh in agent directories, but does not establish that npm installation triggers those changes.

- **Trigger:** Running the CLI skill or MCP setup functionality; automatic skill synchronization may also act on detected Canonry skills.

- **Impact:** This is a guarded agent integration capability with unresolved automatic synchronization behavior; no confirmed attack or credential exfiltration was established.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/chunk-EPSHIH63.js, dist/chunk-GQMSJEMZ.js, dist/chunk-SM6ZZAPK.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-08T17:27:24.257Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The package checks agent skill directories, reconciles bundled skills under \`.claude/skills/\`, and identifies a project \`.mcp.json\` configuration path.

- **Rationale:** Source inspection found agent skill synchronization and project MCP configuration capabilities, while package.json shows no npm lifecycle hook. Because the synchronization activation path remains unresolved, this warrants a warning for agent extension lifecycle risk, not a publish block.

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

- **Network endpoints:** https://api.typesafe.ai/v1/systemone

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 70.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** package.json exposes CLI binaries; its scripts contain build and development tasks, with no npm lifecycle hook., The CLI derives a Claude Code MCP configuration path from the current project directory, and separately exposes an explicit \`canonry mcp install\` command., The package checks for its own bundled skills in Claude directories and can install or update those skills under \`.claude/skills/\`., The TypeSafe request sends the caller-provided API key to the named provider endpoint.

- **Evidence against:** The inspected evidence does not establish an install-time trigger or an unrelated credential recipient.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @canonry/canonry@7.12.0.

- Review the evidence and your use of @canonry/canonry@7.12.0 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.

matchedIdentity = npm:QGNhbm9ucnkvY2Fub25yeQ:7.9.1
similarity = 0.838
summary = stored previous version shares package body but lacks this dangerous source file
