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:** 1.6.110 - **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 hook automatically installs package skills and registers a bundled MCP server with the user's assistant setup. This is first-party agent extension setup; the inspected source does not establish a confirmed attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 87.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-07T22:28:11.483Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-07T22:28:44.769Z - **Download time:** 1035 ms - **Static scan time:** 6421 ms - **AI review time:** 25828 ms - **Total time:** 33286 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 hook automatically installs package skills and registers a bundled MCP server with the user's assistant setup. This is first-party agent extension setup; the inspected source does not establish a confirmed attack. - **Trigger:** Installing the package through npm triggers its postinstall hook. - **Impact:** Assistant configuration and extensions may be changed automatically during installation. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, dist/cli.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-07T22:28:44.769Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook invokes the CLI to install skills and register \`dr-zendesk-kb\`; the CLI also inspects Claude plugin registries. - **Rationale:** Source inspection confirmed automatic agent skill installation and MCP registration from the npm postinstall hook, which warrants a warning for first-party agent extension setup. The inspected credential exchange targets the supplied Datarails service host, and no concrete malicious behavior was established. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.mjs, dist/cli.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The package runs a postinstall hook that invokes the CLI to install skills and register a bundled MCP server., The hook automatically registers \`dr-zendesk-kb\` during npm installation., The CLI inspects Claude plugin registries as part of its agent integration behavior., API-key exchange sends the key to the supplied service host; no unrelated recipient was identified in the inspected code. - **Evidence against:** The reviewed credential exchange targets the supplied host, and the package defines Datarails service hosts., The inspected evidence does not establish credential theft, remote payload execution, or destructive behavior. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @datarails-ai/dr-cli@1.6.110. - Review the evidence and your use of @datarails-ai/dr-cli@1.6.110 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.
