## 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:** 7.65.0
- **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.

No install-hook attack or unauthorized credential export was established. Automatic refresh of package-owned agent guidance on normal startup leaves a guarded agent extension lifecycle risk, so this warrants a warning without blocking publication.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-25T17:17:09.336Z

- **Total time:** 240027 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:** On CLI or non-stored-only MCP startup, Canonry can refresh its own installed skills after a package upgrade or scheduled check. The refresh is limited to manifest-marked Canonry skills and preserves edited files by default, but revised guidance can affect what a host agent reads.

- **Trigger:** Starting the CLI or non-stored-only MCP process when a Canonry skill is installed and the version or sync check qualifies.

- **Impact:** Updated first-party guidance may change agent advice or behavior; the inspected code does not show a permission change.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/chunk-2Y7RN5HG.js, dist/cli.js, dist/mcp.js, dist/chunk-SL3Y7IOX.js, assets/agent-workspace/skills/canonry/SKILL.md

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-25T17:21:09.363Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The synchronizer finds previously installed Canonry skills in the home or current project directory and invokes the bundled skill installer to refresh their files.

- **Rationale:** No install-hook attack or unauthorized credential export was established. Automatic refresh of package-owned agent guidance on normal startup leaves a guarded agent extension lifecycle risk, so this warrants a warning without blocking publication.

- **Files touched:** .claude/skills/canonry, .claude/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:** CLI startup and non-stored-only MCP startup invoke the skill synchronizer; it may run after a package version change or when its check interval elapses., The synchronizer targets home or project directories containing manifests for Canonry's bundled skills. It refreshes those skills under \`.claude/skills\`; edited files are preserved unless force is requested., The manifest has no npm install lifecycle hook, and the runtime synchronizer has an environment opt-out., The separate TypeSafe transfer uses a supported evaluator endpoint. Its settings disclose the data sent, and project sentiment is disabled by default., The browser-password match is account schema and secret-redaction code; the YAML character is handled as a byte-order mark.

- **Evidence against:** No npm install-time agent configuration mutation was found., The automatic refresh is limited to previously installed, manifest-marked Canonry skills and preserves edited files by default., The TypeSafe transfer is disclosed, tied to a configured evaluator, and disabled by default.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @canonry/canonry@7.65.0.

- Review the evidence and your use of @canonry/canonry@7.65.0 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report.
