## 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:** 7.48.0
- **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.

The scanner's credential-phishing hint resolves to an application login schema, and the TypeSafe credential flow is a provider request to its named endpoint. The remaining concern is automatic refresh of installed agent skills during CLI use, so this warrants a warning rather than a block.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-20T02:06:33.927Z
- **Finished:** 2026-10-20T02:08:51.778Z
- **Download time:** 1023 ms
- **Static scan time:** 14054 ms
- **AI review time:** 122773 ms
- **Total time:** 137851 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:** A guarded agent-extension lifecycle risk exists: CLI runs can refresh installed Canonry skills after a package update or elapsed interval.

- **Trigger:** A non-stored-only Canonry CLI command runs while configuration exists and a sync is due; the sync can be disabled with its environment flag.

- **Impact:** Agent guidance can change automatically after a package update, without a separate approval for that update. No credential theft or other concrete attack was identified.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/cli.js, dist/chunk-NPYNNEFP.js, dist/chunk-CS4POCLI.js, dist/chunk-PTDX75HP.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-20T02:08:51.778Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The CLI finds directories with manifest-marked bundled skills and reconciles their files against the package copies. Locally edited files are kept unless force is enabled.

- **Rationale:** The scanner's credential-phishing hint resolves to an application login schema, and the TypeSafe credential flow is a provider request to its named endpoint. The remaining concern is automatic refresh of installed agent skills during CLI use, so this warrants a warning rather than a block.

- **Files touched:** .claude/skills/\<bundled-skill\>

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 88.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** package.json exposes CLI entrypoints and has no npm install lifecycle hook., The CLI asynchronously starts skill synchronization during ordinary commands. Synchronization is skipped when disabled, when configuration is absent, and until the package version changes or the check interval elapses., Synchronization targets directories containing manifest-marked bundled Canonry skills. It updates stale bundled files and leaves manually edited files alone unless forced., Skill installation is also available through explicit \`skills install\` and project initialization commands., The flagged password schema is an application login request; the TypeSafe code sends a configured API key to the named TypeSafe evaluation endpoint., The other flagged agent locations select configuration paths or check whether skills are installed; the declaration file contains API types.

- **Evidence against:** There is no npm lifecycle trigger or evidence of credential theft., Automatic updates are limited to existing Canonry skills, and edited files are preserved unless an explicit force option is used.
