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:** 2.17.0 - **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. Source inspection found no malicious install hook, stealth persistence, credential exfiltration, or unsolicited control-surface mutation. The unconditional sandbox-bypass flag for an external coding agent remains an unresolved dangerous capability. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-07T17:47:59.654Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-07T17:48:53.705Z - **Download time:** 502 ms - **Static scan time:** 2159 ms - **AI review time:** 51388 ms - **Total time:** 54051 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 automatic install-time attack behavior was found. Explicit CLI generation can invoke a locally installed coding agent with approvals and sandbox disabled; setup additionally offers user-confirmed tool installation. - **Trigger:** User runs generate/import with Codex selected, or interactively confirms setup actions. - **Impact:** A malicious or prompt-injected input could receive the selected agent's unrestricted local workspace access. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/cli.js, dist/src/generate/agent-runner.js, dist/src/generate/command.js, dist/src/setup/command.js, dist/src/apply/api-client.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-07T17:48:53.705Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Spawns external coding-agent CLI with unrestricted Codex execution flag. - **Rationale:** Source inspection found no malicious install hook, stealth persistence, credential exfiltration, or unsolicited control-surface mutation. The unconditional sandbox-bypass flag for an external coding agent remains an unresolved dangerous capability. - **Files touched:** bin/cli.js, dist/src/generate/agent-runner.js, dist/src/generate/command.js, dist/src/setup/command.js, dist/src/credentials-store.js - **Network endpoints:** https://api.contentful.com, https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.40.4/install.sh ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** dist/src/generate/agent-runner.js runs Codex with --dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox., The same runner spawns configured external agent binaries with generated prompts., dist/src/setup/command.js offers confirmed setup actions that install tools and can pipe an nvm URL to bash. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hooks., CLI entry imports the application only after a source-only rebuild check., Agent execution is reached through explicit generate/import commands after agent selection., Contentful API requests use operator-provided credentials and documented API paths., PathValidationStep only reads a user-selected project directory to count files. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @contentful/experience-design-system-cli@2.17.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @contentful/experience-design-system-cli@2.17.0 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.
