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:** 1.159.0 - **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. LPM treats this as warn-only first-party agent extension lifecycle risk. The worker automatically installs and refreshes swarm-provided agent skills across multiple platforms. This establishes a guarded agent extension lifecycle capability, without a confirmed malicious attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-30T02:54:21.135Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-30T02:57:22.525Z - **Download time:** 2845 ms - **Static scan time:** 47183 ms - **AI review time:** 131361 ms - **Total time:** 181390 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 worker automatically installs and refreshes swarm-provided agent skills across multiple platforms. This establishes a guarded agent extension lifecycle capability, without a confirmed malicious attack. - **Trigger:** Running the worker, followed by boot-time and per-task skill refresh. - **Impact:** Server-side skill changes can alter instructions used by subsequent agent sessions; synchronization can replace matching skill files. - **Evidence paths:** src/cli.tsx, src/commands/runner.ts, src/utils/skills-refresh.ts, src/utils/skill-fs-writer.ts, dist/cli-phsaj4xq.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-30T02:57:22.525Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Fetch skill content from the configured swarm API and write it into agent skill directories under the user's home. - **Rationale:** Source establishes automatic agent skill installation and later updates during explicit worker operation, supporting a guarded extension lifecycle warning. No unconsented npm install mutation or concrete malicious attack was established. - **Files touched:** .claude/skills, .pi/agent/skills, .codex/skills, .opencode/skills, .agents/skills, SKILL.md ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The explicit worker command activates boot-time skill synchronization, except for the managed Claude provider., The runner repeats skill refresh before tasks, enabling later automatic updates., Refresh writes server-provided skills into the user's home across multiple agent platforms., The writer overwrites skill instruction files with downloaded content., Removal of obsolete skill directories requires a swarm ownership marker., A failed skill-list fetch prevents filesystem synchronization. - **Evidence against:** No npm preinstall, install, or postinstall hook appears in package.json., The inspected synchronization uses the configured swarm service and is aligned with worker operation; no covert exfiltration was established. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @desplega.ai/agent-swarm@1.159.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @desplega.ai/agent-swarm@1.159.0 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.
