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. LPM treats this as warn-only first-party agent extension lifecycle risk. No confirmed malicious attack surface was established. The package is an AI agent platform that ships and loads many first-party skills/extensions, with install-time native dependency setup and runtime credential plumbing. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 78.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-03T15:28:36.598Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-03T15:29:40.814Z - **Download time:** 1030 ms - **Static scan time:** 16266 ms - **AI review time:** 46919 ms - **Total time:** 64216 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:** No confirmed malicious attack surface was established. The package is an AI agent platform that ships and loads many first-party skills/extensions, with install-time native dependency setup and runtime credential plumbing. - **Trigger:** npm install runs postinstall; helios/helios-rpc or daemon runtime loads skills/extensions - **Impact:** Broad agent capabilities and local credential/environment handling create lifecycle and extension risk, but inspected code does not show unconsented foreign control-surface hijack or exfiltration. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.cjs, bin/helios-rpc.js, bin/file-polyfill.cjs, daemon/helios-company-daemon.js, extensions/lib/can-use.ts, extensions/bedrock-login.ts - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-03T15:29:40.814Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** first-party agent extension runtime with install-time native prebuild copy - **Attack narrative:** Install-time behavior copies a bundled native better-sqlite3 prebuild into the package dependency tree. Runtime wrappers load the package's declared Pi extensions/skills and may read local auth files to pass Bedrock credentials to the child agent process. This is high-trust agent platform behavior, but source inspection did not find lifecycle planting into foreign agent surfaces, hidden exfiltration, destructive actions, or persistence beyond the package-owned daemon token. - **Rationale:** Source inspection supports a warn-level agent-extension lifecycle risk rather than a malicious package: the risky behavior is declared, package-aligned, and mostly runtime/user-invoked. The scanner's binary/blob and secret-looking hits are explained by native prebuilds, gitleaks rules/examples, and Bedrock login/auth handling rather than concrete attack behavior. - **Files touched:** prebuilds/\/better\_sqlite3.node, node\_modules/better-sqlite3/build/Release/better\_sqlite3.node, auth.json, ~/.pi/agent/auth.json, ~/.helios/daemon.token, data/api-token.txt - **Network endpoints:** http://localhost:9091, https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/home\#/security\_credentials ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 78.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** package.json declares pi extensions/skills/prompts and a postinstall hook, postinstall.cjs runs at install time and copies bundled better\_sqlite3.node into node\_modules/better-sqlite3, bin/helios-rpc.js launches @cgh567/cli with package extension and skill directories, bin/helios-rpc.js and extensions/bedrock-login.ts read auth.json/~/.pi/agent/auth.json and inject Bedrock credentials into child process env, daemon/helios-company-daemon.js creates ~/.helios/daemon.token and mirrors data/api-token.txt at runtime - **Evidence against:** No postinstall writes to Claude/Codex/Cursor/MCP or other foreign agent control surfaces found, postinstall.cjs is limited to platform prebuild setup for an own dependency, Credential reads appear local runtime auth plumbing, with no exfiltration endpoint in inspected paths, extensions/lib/can-use.ts only performs capability checks for memgraph, gh, browser, imessage, erd, daemon, Network usage reviewed is package-aligned local daemon/Gmail/Slack/AWS functionality, not hidden install-time exfiltration, Bundled skills/extensions are declared by package.json pi manifest rather than hidden import-time mutation ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @cgh567/agent@2.4.8. - Review the evidence and your use of @cgh567/agent@2.4.8 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.
