AI Security Review
scanned 26d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe scanner’s severe labels are not established by the inspected source. CLI-triggered synchronization of existing, package-owned skills is a guarded agent-extension lifecycle risk, so a warning is appropriate.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Starting the CLI when saved configuration indicates a package version change or that the sync interval elapsed.
Impact
Existing Canonry skills may be refreshed without a per-update prompt; the inspected behavior does not establish a foreign agent configuration modification or credential exfiltration.
Mechanism
The sync checks for existing Canonry skill manifests in the user and current project directories, then invokes the bundled skill installer for those skills.
AI rationale
The scanner’s severe labels are not established by the inspected source. CLI-triggered synchronization of existing, package-owned skills is a guarded agent-extension lifecycle risk, so a warning is appropriate.
Evidence
dist/cli.jsdist/chunk-JUOFNJLV.jsdist/chunk-JMC7CEJB.js.claude/skills/
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 82.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The CLI automatically invokes skill synchronization when it starts; the sync checks saved package version and elapsed time before updating detected Canonry skills.
- Synchronization is disabled by an environment flag, but otherwise can update skills in user or project directories that already contain Canonry skill manifests.
- The manifest defines CLI entry points and no npm lifecycle hook, so this behavior is tied to CLI use rather than package installation.
- The inspected flagged locations concern skill detection, update messaging, and agent configuration path helpers; they do not establish credential theft or a foreign agent configuration attack.
Evidence against
- The sync is limited to bundled Canonry skills whose manifests are already present, and runs only on version change or after a saved interval.
- The package manifest identifies a self-hosted AI visibility platform and exposes CLI, MCP, and library entry points consistent with the inspected product behavior.
