Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 17 finding(s) warrant review before installing. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Data Exfiltration - **Selected version:** 0.1.273 - **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. No source evidence supports intentional malware or install-time abuse, but the privileged IPC design creates a concrete, high-impact local file-exfiltration vulnerability. Warn rather than block because persistence requires explicit user service installation. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-08T20:17:54.684Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-08T20:19:05.583Z - **Download time:** 1271 ms - **Static scan time:** 1665 ms - **AI review time:** 67962 ms - **Total time:** 70899 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:** A root-installed daemon exposes a world-writable local IPC socket without caller authentication. Its file-send operation reads an arbitrary caller-supplied path and transmits it to a selected P2P peer. - **Trigger:** Operator runs \`agentnet service install\`; another locally unprivileged user connects to the daemon socket. - **Impact:** Local privilege boundary bypass can exfiltrate root-readable files through the package's peer network. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/daemon/ipc.js, dist/daemon/server.js, dist/cli/commands.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-08T20:19:05.583Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** unauthenticated world-writable privileged IPC with arbitrary-file read - **Rationale:** No source evidence supports intentional malware or install-time abuse, but the privileged IPC design creates a concrete, high-impact local file-exfiltration vulnerability. Warn rather than block because persistence requires explicit user service installation. - **Files touched:** dist/daemon/ipc.js, dist/daemon/server.js, dist/cli/commands.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Critical Vulnerability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** dist/daemon/ipc.js chmods the daemon socket to 0666., IPC accepts unauthenticated requests from any socket client., dist/daemon/server.js fileSend reads caller-supplied paths with fs.readFile., The explicit service installer runs the daemon as root. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no install/postinstall hook; only prepublishOnly., Service persistence is exposed only through an explicit CLI command., No hidden eval, remote payload loader, or foreign AI-agent config mutation found. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @decentnetwork/lan@0.1.273. - Review the evidence and your use of @decentnetwork/lan@0.1.273 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.
