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:** 7.18.1 - **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 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 82.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-09T21:28:58.823Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-09T21:30:47.461Z - **Download time:** 23320 ms - **Static scan time:** 12942 ms - **AI review time:** 72375 ms - **Total time:** 108638 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:** CLI startup can automatically refresh the package’s own agent skills after a version change or saved interval. No confirmed attack surface was established in the inspected findings. - **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. - **Evidence paths:** dist/cli.js, dist/chunk-JUOFNJLV.js, dist/chunk-JMC7CEJB.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-09T21:30:47.461Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **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. - **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. - **Files touched:** .claude/skills/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 82.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **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. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @canonry/canonry@7.18.1. - Review the evidence and your use of @canonry/canonry@7.18.1 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.
