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. Installing this package runs postinstall and declares first-party Pi extensions. After Helios or Pi starts, those extensions can start Memgraph with Docker, spawn a detached daemon, and globally install the Pi CLI. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 74.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-18T05:53:23.840Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-18T06:01:49.494Z - **Download time:** 1515 ms - **Static scan time:** 20675 ms - **AI review time:** 483463 ms - **Total time:** 505654 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:** Installing this package runs postinstall and declares first-party Pi extensions. After Helios or Pi starts, those extensions can start Memgraph with Docker, spawn a detached daemon, and globally install the Pi CLI. - **Trigger:** npm install of @cgh567/agent, then starting the Helios or Pi agent so packaged extensions load. - **Impact:** Background services and a global CLI update can run in the installer's environment after the agent session starts, without a separate setup command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.cjs, extensions/upgrade-reviewer.ts, extensions/memgraph-autostart.ts, daemon/daemon-manager.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-18T06:01:49.494Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** first-party Pi extension lifecycle plus dual-use session hooks - **Rationale:** This is a first-party Helios coding-agent package whose postinstall and Pi extension manifest create a guarded agent-extension lifecycle, plus session hooks that can start Docker, a daemon, and global npm upgrades. Inspected source does not show unconsented foreign-agent hijack or a complete malicious install chain, so the result is a warning rather than a block or a clean mark. - **Files touched:** postinstall.cjs, prebuilds/, node\_modules/better-sqlite3/build/Release/better\_sqlite3.node, daemon/helios-company-daemon.js, daemon/daemon.pid ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 74.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** Install-time postinstall copies a bundled native sqlite binding into the better-sqlite3 package tree., The manifest registers first-party Pi extensions and skills that load with the coding agent., The upgrade reviewer auto-runs on session start and can globally install the Pi CLI when a review is marked SAFE., Memgraph autostart can launch Docker Compose containers when an agent session starts., The daemon manager can spawn a detached background Helios process., This tree is a large dual-use agent with incomplete static coverage, so remaining spawn and native paths stay unresolved. - **Evidence against:** README, repository, and bin wrappers describe a Helios/Pi multi-agent product rather than a hidden dropper., There is no runtime self-dependency on @cgh567/agent and no install-time write to foreign Claude or Cursor control files., postinstall skips missing prebuilds and only runs extra source scripts when those files exist., Scanner flags for Trojan Source, hidden inline payloads, and runtime package install did not match a concrete attack in the named files., Network and persistence artifacts belong to the product (Gmail, Slack, Memgraph, launchd templates), not an anonymous exfil channel. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @cgh567/agent@2.6.27. - Review the evidence and your use of @cgh567/agent@2.6.27 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.
