Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## 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:** 0.3.28 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **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. LPM treats this as warn-only first-party agent extension lifecycle risk. The npm postinstall automatically installs this package’s own skills into global AI assistant skill directories. This changes assistant configuration without a separate user command, so it presents an agent extension lifecycle risk. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-07T06:16:59.981Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-07T06:17:30.507Z - **Download time:** 511 ms - **Static scan time:** 1575 ms - **AI review time:** 28438 ms - **Total time:** 30526 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:** The npm postinstall automatically installs this package’s own skills into global AI assistant skill directories. This changes assistant configuration without a separate user command, so it presents an agent extension lifecycle risk. - **Trigger:** Installing the npm package runs its postinstall hook. - **Impact:** Existing skill files may be overwritten and the package’s skills become available to installed AI assistants. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/postinstall.js, dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-07T06:17:30.507Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook invokes the CLI skill installer with force enabled; the installer defaults to a global base directory and writes skill files into assistant skill directories. - **Rationale:** The postinstall hook performs unconsented setup of this package’s own AI assistant skills in global skill directories and can overwrite existing files. This fits the warning category for first-party package-owned agent extension setup, with no inspected evidence establishing a block-level attack. - **Files touched:** global assistant skill directories ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** package.json runs bin/postinstall.js during installation., The postinstall script silently invokes the package CLI with \`skill install --force\`., The installer defaults to a global base directory and writes package skill content into assistant skill directories; \`--force\` allows overwriting existing files. - **Evidence against:** The external skill list is empty, so the postinstall does not add external skills through npx., Inspected behavior installs this package's own skills; no credential theft or remote payload execution was established. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @conceptcraft/mindframes@0.3.28. - Review the evidence and your use of @conceptcraft/mindframes@0.3.28 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.
