## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 18 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Persistence
- **Selected version:** 0.1.300
- **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.

This is a privileged networking tool with explicit persistence and host-configuration features, so it warrants a warning. Its only lifecycle hook is prepublishOnly, and source inspection found no automatic install-time malicious behavior.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 82.0%
- **Started:** 2026-09-11T13:25:00.351Z
- **Finished:** 2026-09-11T13:27:07.213Z

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 exposes explicit privileged networking and service-install features. No automatic npm-install attack surface was found.

- **Trigger:** The user runs agentnet up --real-tun or agentnet service install with required privileges.

- **Impact:** Can alter host networking, SSH settings, and startup configuration when explicitly invoked.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/cli/commands.js, dist/tun/route-manager.js, dist/daemon/server.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-11T13:27:07.213Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Creates network routes and can install a persistent privileged service.

- **Rationale:** This is a privileged networking tool with explicit persistence and host-configuration features, so it warrants a warning. Its only lifecycle hook is prepublishOnly, and source inspection found no automatic install-time malicious behavior.

- **Files touched:** /etc/ssh/sshd\_config, /etc/systemd/system/agentnet.service, /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.decentlan.agentnet.plist, agentnet-service.ps1

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 82.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for warning:** The manifest has no registry install lifecycle hook; its only lifecycle script is prepublishOnly., The UI is started by an explicit agentnet ui command and describes itself as a local peer-management page., The route manager executes operating-system networking commands, which is a privileged capability., The CLI can create an elevated Windows startup task and start it when the user runs service install., The daemon can detach and relaunch its own current process after an IPC restart request., The console spawns only an operating-system clipboard utility with fixed command selection.

- **Evidence against:** No preinstall, install, or postinstall hook runs on package installation., No credential harvesting, secret-file collection, or exfiltration was found in the inspected high-risk files., Persistence and SSH configuration changes are reached through explicit network/service commands, not npm installation., The inspected restart path relaunches the existing argv rather than downloading or executing a remote payload.
