Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 11 finding(s) warrant review before installing. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Destructive Action - **Selected version:** 0.119.12 - **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. The package has no install-time hook or evidenced consumer-side attack behavior. Its \`postpack\` cleanup can recursively remove package-directory contents, which is a concrete destructive local risk and warrants a warning. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 81.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-08T15:49:37.708Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-08T15:50:07.770Z - **Download time:** 1027 ms - **Static scan time:** 161 ms - **AI review time:** 28873 ms - **Total time:** 30062 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 confirmed malicious attack was identified. The \`postpack\` script recursively removes entries from the package directory after packing, creating a destructive local effect when packaging runs. - **Trigger:** Running the package's \`postpack\` lifecycle script after a pack operation. - **Impact:** Other package-directory contents may be deleted from the working checkout. - **Evidence paths:** package.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-08T15:50:07.770Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The script removes every entry in its package directory except \`package.json\` and \`stage-pack.mjs\`. - **Rationale:** The package has no install-time hook or evidenced consumer-side attack behavior. Its \`postpack\` cleanup can recursively remove package-directory contents, which is a concrete destructive local risk and warrants a warning. - **Files touched:** package.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 81.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** \`package.json\` defines a \`postpack\` script that recursively removes every package-directory entry except \`package.json\` and \`stage-pack.mjs\`., \`.githooks/\_deft-run.sh\` invokes the local or global \`deft\` command with the supplied arguments; the inspected resolver shows no file mutation or network behavior., \`tasks/engine-invoke.test.cjs\` tests that command arguments containing shell metacharacters remain quoted as a single token. - **Evidence against:** The manifest has no \`preinstall\`, \`install\`, or \`postinstall\` hook; its lifecycle scripts are limited to \`prepack\` and \`postpack\`., The test file is test code and its inspected assertions concern command argument quoting, not package lifecycle behavior. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @deftai/directive-content@0.119.12. - Review the evidence and your use of @deftai/directive-content@0.119.12 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.
