## 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:** 0.2.12
- **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.

LPM treats this as warn-only first-party agent extension lifecycle risk. The package automatically installs its own Cursor skills during npm postinstall, and Slack session handling can add local Cursor hooks for follow-up context. These are package-owned agent integrations; the inspected source does not establish a separate active attack.

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 package automatically installs its own Cursor skills during npm postinstall, and Slack session handling can add local Cursor hooks for follow-up context. These are package-owned agent integrations; the inspected source does not establish a separate active attack.

- **Trigger:** npm package installation triggers skill synchronization; Slack session handling with a continuation key triggers nudge carrier setup.

- **Impact:** Package skills become available to Cursor, and Slack follow-up context can be loaded during tool use. A guarded agent extension capability is present, but no confirmed malicious action was identified.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-09T05:56:58.231Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The installer synchronizes package skills into the user's Cursor skills namespace. The Slack helper writes local carrier files and registers pre-tool and post-tool commands in the project hooks configuration.

- **Rationale:** Source inspection confirms automatic, package-owned Cursor skill setup and a Slack continuation hook integration. These warrant a warning for agent extension lifecycle risk; the reviewed evidence does not establish credential theft, broad foreign configuration mutation, or another concrete attack.

- **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/install-cursor-skills.mjs, dist/internal/install-cursor-skills.js, dist/channels/slack/nudge-carrier.js, dist/internal/session-engine.js

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 86.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** The postinstall hook runs the package's skill installer automatically., The installer writes shipped skills under the user's Cursor skills directory, replacing package-owned copies., The Slack nudge helper writes carrier files and adds pre-tool and post-tool hooks to the project Cursor configuration when a continuation key is present., The Slack channel is an explicit package feature, and the helper is invoked by session handling.

- **Evidence against:** The inspected install behavior is limited to the package's own Cursor skills namespace; no unrelated destination or credential transfer was found in the cited install paths., The Slack hook is tied to Slack continuation handling and its local carrier files; these inspected paths show no network exfiltration or remote code loading.

## Affected versions and remediation

## Public findings

### 1. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@cursor/july@0.2.12/package.json>)

Package defines install-time lifecycle scripts.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```json
scripts.postinstall = node -e "try{const p='./scripts/install-cursor-skills.mjs';if(require('fs').existsSync(p))require('child_process').execFileSync(process.execPath,[p],{stdio:'inherit'})}catch{}"
```

### 2. Critical: Red Install Lifecycle Script
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 95.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@cursor/july@0.2.12/package.json>)

Install-time lifecycle script matches a deterministic static-gate block pattern.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```json
scripts.postinstall = node -e "try{const p='./scripts/install-cursor-skills.mjs';if(require('fs').existsSync(p))require('child_process').execFileSync(process.execPath,[p],{stdio:'inherit'})}catch{}"
```

### 3. Low: Scripts Present
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

Package declares npm scripts.

### 4. Low: Eval
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 45.0%

Package source references a known benign dynamic code generation pattern.

### 5. Medium: Dynamic Require
- **Category:** Source

- **Path:** dist/internal/authored-loaders.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@cursor/july@0.2.12/dist/internal/authored-loaders.js>)

Package source references dynamic require/import behavior.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L36: *
L37: * Node caches `import()` by URL for the life of the process, so a long-lived
L38: * `agent-sdk dev` would otherwise keep serving the first load of eval files
```

### 6. Medium: Network

- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@cursor/july@0.2.12/dist/channels/slack/slack-channel.js>)

Package metadata claims a different repository identity while copied source loads a runtime dependency bridge.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
package = @cursor/july; repositoryIdentity = cursor; dependency = @slack/web-api
L185: }
L186: const { WebClient } = await import("@slack/web-api");
L187: allowlist.applyResolvedNames(await resolveChannelNames(new WebClient(botToken), names, getLog()));

- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 65.0%

Package source contains URL literals.

### 13. Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review
- **Category:** Artifact Inventory
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean.

### 14. Low: No License
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 80.0%

Package manifest does not declare a clear license.

### 15. High: Semantic Analysis Limited
- **Category:** Scanner Coverage
- **Confidence:** 100.0%
- **Path:** dist/channels.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@cursor/july@0.2.12/dist/channels.js>)

A bounded semantic-analysis stage reached its safety limit; remaining detectors completed, but this package requires AI review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
stage = ast_semantic_analysis; reason = ast_alias_growth_limit_exceeded; limitedFiles = 14
```

### 16. High: Known Malware Source Similarity
- **Category:** Static
- **Confidence:** 95.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@cursor/july@0.2.12/package.json>)

Source file is highly similar to a previously finalized malicious package; route for source-aware review.

```json
matchType = token_shingles
matchedPackage = @cursor/july@0.1.107
matchedPath = package.json
matchedIdentity = npm:QGN1cnNvci9qdWx5:0.1.107
