Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged as AI-agent capability risk** — Allowed by default with warning: agent-facing configuration or capability changes need review before use. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Warn-only AI-agent capability risk - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** AI-agent capability abuse - **Selected version:** 8.48.0 - **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 package is not malicious by the inspected evidence, but its prompted global coding-agent extension setup is a meaningful capability that warrants a warning. Scanner claims of lifecycle abuse and remote code execution were not confirmed. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 80.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-08T11:33:45.162Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-08T11:35:55.126Z - **Download time:** 1016 ms - **Static scan time:** 18731 ms - **AI review time:** 110212 ms - **Total time:** 129964 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:** An interactive CLI flow can invoke a global coding-agent skill installer. It is not activated during npm installation. - **Trigger:** A user runs the interactive CLI flow and accepts the coding-agent skills prompt. - **Impact:** May modify a coding agent's global skill configuration through the external skills command. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-08T11:35:55.126Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Prompted global coding-agent skill installation - **Rationale:** The package is not malicious by the inspected evidence, but its prompted global coding-agent extension setup is a meaningful capability that warrants a warning. Scanner claims of lifecycle abuse and remote code execution were not confirmed. - **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/Cap-go/capgo-skills ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 80.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The CLI contains an interactive flow that offers to install Capgo skills globally for a coding agent and runs a package-manager skill command after confirmation., The package exposes a Node command-line entrypoint, so this capability is reachable when users run the CLI. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, postinstall, or prepare lifecycle hook., The global skill setup is guarded by a TTY check and an interactive prompt., The reported eval and Function matches are bundled dependency code; no remote payload decoding and execution was confirmed., No credential or environment-value exfiltration was confirmed from the inspected source. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @capgo/cli@8.48.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @capgo/cli@8.48.0 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.
