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:** 0.113.1 - **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. The package is not malicious by static inspection, but it provides explicit commands that can alter project Git and AI-agent control surfaces. The policy calls for a warning for this user-invoked agent configuration capability. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-13T02:44:40.180Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-13T02:46:41.068Z - **Download time:** 1013 ms - **Static scan time:** 164 ms - **AI review time:** 119710 ms - **Total time:** 120888 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 code runs on npm installation. Explicit Taskfile commands can configure repository Git hooks and generate AI-agent instruction files in a selected output tree. - **Trigger:** The user runs task setup or task cloudgov:export, or commits or pushes after hook setup. - **Impact:** These commands can affect repository checks or add generated agent instructions, but no automatic install-time mutation, credential theft, or payload execution was found. - **Evidence paths:** Taskfile.yml, tasks/deployments.yml, .githooks/pre-commit, .githooks/\_deft-run.sh, package.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-13T02:46:41.068Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** User-invoked Taskfile configuration and Git-hook CLI dispatch. - **Rationale:** The package is not malicious by static inspection, but it provides explicit commands that can alter project Git and AI-agent control surfaces. The policy calls for a warning for this user-invoked agent configuration capability. - **Files touched:** .githooks/pre-commit, .githooks/pre-push, {{.OUT\_DIR}}/AGENTS.md, {{.OUT\_DIR}}/.github/instructions/ - **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/adhocteam/cloud-gov-instructions/archive/refs/tags/{{.CLOUDGOV\_VERSION}}.tar.gz ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** An explicit cloudgov export task copies package-provided agent instructions and an AGENTS.md file into its output tree., An explicit setup task changes the current repository's Git hook path to .githooks., The shipped Git hooks invoke the Deft CLI on commits and pushes after that setup., The manifest has only pack-time scripts, not install-time lifecycle hooks. - **Evidence against:** No preinstall, install, or postinstall hook is declared., No dependencies or self-dependency are declared., The only downloader found is an explicit Taskfile command for a pinned GitHub archive., No secret harvesting, exfiltration, obfuscated payload, or automatic remote execution was found. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @deftai/directive-content@0.113.1. - Review the evidence and your use of @deftai/directive-content@0.113.1 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.
