## 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:** 0.3.18
- **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.

LPM treats this as warn-only first-party agent extension lifecycle risk. Installation automatically installs or overwrites Mindframes skills in existing AI-assistant directories. This is first-party extension lifecycle risk; no confirmed malicious attack was established.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0%

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:** Installation automatically installs or overwrites Mindframes skills in existing AI-assistant directories. This is first-party extension lifecycle risk; no confirmed malicious attack was established.

- **Trigger:** npm installation runs the postinstall hook.

- **Impact:** Assistant-visible Mindframes instructions can be added or replaced without an installation-time consent prompt.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/postinstall.js, dist/index.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-03T00:45:30.486Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The hook invokes skill install with force enabled; the installer writes package-named skill instructions and references under existing assistant directories in the home directory.

- **Rationale:** Source establishes automatic first-party agent extension setup with forced overwriting, which warrants a lifecycle warning under the supplied policy. Scanner labels do not establish malware, and the inspected chain does not support a publication block.

- **Files touched:** .claude, .github, .cursor, .codex, .opencode, .windsurf, .agent, SKILL.md

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for warning:** The manifest automatically invokes bin/postinstall.js after installation., The install hook silently invokes the CLI skill installer with forced overwriting., The installer defaults to the home directory and writes skills into existing AI-assistant directories without a consent prompt., The generated skill names belong to Mindframes, limiting the observed mutation to first-party extensions., The skill writer creates directories and writes SKILL.md and reference files.

- **Evidence against:** No runtime self-dependency appears in the manifest., The inspected installation chain does not establish credential theft or unrelated agent configuration replacement., The flagged Codex configuration location configures an explicitly invoked runtime rather than writing agent configuration.

## Affected versions and remediation

- Review the evidence and your use of @conceptcraft/mindframes@0.3.18 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report.
