## 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:** 7.2.0
- **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.

Inspected source supports a warning for first-party agent extension setup and subsequent automatic updates. The guarded CLI behavior and absence of install hooks do not support the scanner's malicious classification.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-06T20:58:16.685Z

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:** Package-owned agent skill setup and automatic refresh create a guarded extension lifecycle risk. No confirmed malicious attack was established.

- **Trigger:** Explicit CLI initialization or skill installation, followed by later CLI execution.

- **Impact:** Later package releases can change agent-loaded instructions in previously installed skills, while locally edited files receive conflict protection.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/cli.js, dist/chunk-EQBYK77W.js, dist/chunk-FDBQOQLP.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-06T20:59:30.843Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Bundled skills are installed into agent skill directories and subsequently refreshed when package versions change or the verification interval elapses; an environment setting disables refresh.

- **Rationale:** Inspected source supports a warning for first-party agent extension setup and subsequent automatic updates. The guarded CLI behavior and absence of install hooks do not support the scanner's malicious classification.

- **Files touched:** .claude/skills, .codex/skills, .mcp.json

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 90.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** Explicit CLI initialization installs bundled agent skills unless skipped; MCP setup writes configuration while preserving existing entries., CLI execution automatically refreshes previously installed package-owned skills after version changes or a verification interval., Refresh targets require a package skill manifest; synchronization preserves locally edited files unless forced., The inspected manifest contains no npm install lifecycle hooks.

- **Evidence against:** The indicated diagnostic and plugin-contract locations do not establish credential theft or phishing., No concrete malicious network transfer or unconsented npm-install agent mutation was established.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @canonry/canonry@7.2.0.

- Review the evidence and your use of @canonry/canonry@7.2.0 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.
