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:** 7.23.0 - **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 shows an automatic, opt-out sync of bundled agent skills into detected Claude or Codex directories during CLI startup. This supports a warning for agent extension lifecycle risk; the other reviewed indicators did not establish a concrete attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-10T23:01:52.597Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-10T23:03:29.270Z - **Download time:** 1266 ms - **Static scan time:** 16290 ms - **AI review time:** 79116 ms - **Total time:** 96673 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:** Normal CLI startup can automatically update the package's bundled skills in detected Claude or Codex skill directories. This is a guarded first-party agent extension capability, and no separate control hijack was established. - **Trigger:** Invoking the CLI when existing skill targets are found and the saved version or sync interval qualifies. - **Impact:** Bundled agent instructions may be added or updated without a prompt on that invocation. - **Evidence paths:** dist/chunk-KWBFKTOA.js, dist/chunk-UF7MH6TU.js, dist/cli.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-10T23:03:29.270Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The startup path calls automatic sync, which reconciles bundled skills into detected skill directories; an environment flag can disable syncing. - **Rationale:** Inspected source shows an automatic, opt-out sync of bundled agent skills into detected Claude or Codex directories during CLI startup. This supports a warning for agent extension lifecycle risk; the other reviewed indicators did not establish a concrete attack. - **Files touched:** ~/.claude/skills/, ~/.codex/skills/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The CLI starts automatic skill syncing during normal command startup; the sync may run after a package version change or elapsed interval when it finds existing Canonry skill targets., The sync installs bundled skills into Claude skill directories and may reconcile their files. Its disable flag is an opt-out, and the inspected startup path shows no consent prompt., The flagged agent configuration locations show skill checks, skill-directory detection, plugin update guidance, and CLI configuration paths; these excerpts do not establish a separate control hijack., The TypeSafe client sends a caller-provided API key and request to its named service endpoint; this source does not establish credential forwarding to an unrelated destination. - **Evidence against:** package.json describes the package as an AI visibility platform with agent tools, consistent with providing bundled agent skills., The TypeSafe request uses a fixed package-named service endpoint and the API key supplied to the client; inspected code does not show an unrestricted operator-selected destination. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @canonry/canonry@7.23.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @canonry/canonry@7.23.0 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.
