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:** 7.64.5 - **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. Source inspection confirms a first-party agent-skill update capability that runs automatically after prior installation, so a warning is appropriate for the residual risk of changed agent instructions. The package has no install hook, and the reviewed source did not establish credential theft, broad agent configuration changes, or another concrete attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-25T15:04:46.422Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-25T15:08:29.519Z - **Download time:** 2026 ms - **Static scan time:** 13646 ms - **AI review time:** 207424 ms - **Total time:** 223097 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 and MCP startup can automatically refresh Canonry-authored agent skill files that are already present in the home directory or current project. A managed skill manifest enables updates after a package version change or the default 24-hour interval. - **Trigger:** A non-stored-only CLI command or MCP startup when an eligible managed skill exists and the package version changes or its sync interval elapses. - **Impact:** Agent sessions can receive changed Canonry-authored instructions without a fresh confirmation. The inspected behavior is scoped to these skills and shows no credential transfer or broad agent settings changes. - **Evidence paths:** dist/chunk-56ISY5RC.js, dist/cli.js, dist/mcp.js, dist/init-X2ADJGSC.js, dist/chunk-FBHW62IM.js, dist/chunk-T3QZVIPV.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-25T15:08:29.519Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The sync copies updated bundled files into Canonry skill directories and maintains Codex symlinks when present. It preserves locally edited files unless force is requested. - **Rationale:** Source inspection confirms a first-party agent-skill update capability that runs automatically after prior installation, so a warning is appropriate for the residual risk of changed agent instructions. The package has no install hook, and the reviewed source did not establish credential theft, broad agent configuration changes, or another concrete attack. - **Files touched:** .claude/skills/canonry, .claude/skills/aero, .codex/skills/canonry, .codex/skills/aero ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** package.json lists CLI and library entrypoints and build scripts, with no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The explicit init flow installs bundled Canonry and Aero skills unless skipped; the skill installer writes their managed files and manifest., CLI startup and non-stored-only MCP startup call the automatic sync. It runs after a package version change or the default 24-hour interval, with an environment opt-out., Automatic sync only selects Canonry skill directories in the home or current project when their managed manifest exists, then refreshes those skills., The sync compares file hashes with the prior manifest. It refreshes unchanged managed files and preserves locally edited files unless force is requested. - **Evidence against:** The behavior is limited to Canonry-owned skill directories and preserves local edits; the inspected sync path does not change broad agent settings or transfer credentials. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @canonry/canonry@7.64.5. - Review the evidence and your use of @canonry/canonry@7.64.5 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.
