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:** 2.6.12 - **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. Review flagged AI-agent configuration or capability changes. This remains warn-only unless evidence shows foreign-agent hijack through preinstall/install/postinstall, hidden persistence, exfiltration, remote code execution, or other concrete malicious behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 87.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-12T01:05:52.734Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-12T01:07:29.238Z - **Download time:** 1261 ms - **Static scan time:** 26105 ms - **AI review time:** 69138 ms - **Total time:** 96504 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:** Explicit iMessage cleanup functionality can modify the user’s Messages database and block contacts. No confirmed malicious install-time or covert exfiltration chain was found. - **Trigger:** User runs the loaded iMessage cleanup command, including its destructive options. - **Impact:** Deletion of selected conversations and contact blocking when explicitly invoked. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.cjs, bin/helios-rpc.js, extensions/imessage-triage/imessage-bridge.ts, extensions/imessage-triage/gates/send-gate.ts, extensions/imessage-triage/index.ts - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-12T01:07:29.238Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** agent extension reads and can alter macOS Messages data - **Rationale:** Source shows dangerous, user-invoked macOS messaging capabilities and a native postinstall mutation, but no evidence of credential theft, exfiltration, remote payload execution, or broad foreign agent-control mutation. - **Files touched:** ~/Library/Messages/chat.db, ~/Library/Messages/chat.db.backup-\, ~/helios-agent/.planning/imessage-deletion-log.jsonl, com.apple.cmfsyncagent preferences, node\_modules/better-sqlite3/build/Release/better\_sqlite3.node ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The package ships an iMessage extension that can delete conversations and block phone numbers., Postinstall copies a bundled native SQLite binding into the declared dependency., The CLI loads the package’s extension and skill directories into an agent runtime. - **Evidence against:** Destructive iMessage cleanup is exposed as an explicit registered command, not invoked at install/import., Outbound iMessage delivery is denied unless HELIOS\_ALLOW\_SEND is exactly "1"; review normally waits for confirmation., No source evidence of install-time network access, credential exfiltration, or foreign AI-agent configuration writes. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @cgh567/agent@2.6.12. - Review the evidence and your use of @cgh567/agent@2.6.12 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.
