## 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:** 0.5.16
- **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.

Source supports a warning for automatic first-party agent extension setup and conditional credential exposure. Namespace safeguards and explicit maintenance commands do not support the scanner's malicious classification.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1

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:** Installation automatically changes package-owned agent skill namespaces. Configured remote synchronization introduces external agent instructions and conditional credential exposure, but no confirmed malicious attack was established.

- **Trigger:** A local npm installation; remote synchronization additionally requires an MCP URL and access token.

- **Impact:** Installed skills can influence agent behavior; an incorrectly configured MCP destination can receive the service access token.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, cli/postinstall.mjs, cli/install-agent-skills.mjs, cli/install-mcp-skills.mjs, cli/mcp-platform-skills.mjs

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-06T12:40:35.408Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Postinstall copies packaged skills and optionally fetches authenticated MCP resources for installation into a separate managed namespace.

- **Rationale:** Source supports a warning for automatic first-party agent extension setup and conditional credential exposure. Namespace safeguards and explicit maintenance commands do not support the scanner's malicious classification.

- **Files touched:** .agents/skills/command-center, .agents/skills/ms-command-center

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 93.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** package.json automatically runs cli/postinstall.mjs, which invokes the agent skill installer., The local installer copies skills into .agents/skills/command-center and replaces entries within that namespace., Configured MCP skill synchronization also runs during postinstall unless disabled, installing into .agents/skills/ms-command-center., MCP requests can send MAINSEQUENCE\_ACCESS\_TOKEN to an operator-configured HTTP(S) URL without a destination allowlist.

- **Evidence against:** Skill installation is confined to package-owned namespaces with path and symbolic-link safeguards; legacy cleanup checks ownership records., The manifest has no runtime self-dependency. SDK maintenance commands are explicit CLI operations rather than postinstall actions., No concrete covert exfiltration, remote code execution, or broad foreign agent configuration mutation was established.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @dev-mainsequence/command-center-sdk@0.5.16.

- Review the evidence and your use of @dev-mainsequence/command-center-sdk@0.5.16 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. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@dev-mainsequence/command-center-sdk@0.5.16/package.json>)

Package defines install-time lifecycle scripts.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```json
scripts.postinstall = node ./cli/postinstall.mjs
```

### 2. Medium: Ambiguous Install Lifecycle Script
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 75.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@dev-mainsequence/command-center-sdk@0.5.16/package.json>)

Install-time lifecycle script is not statically allowlisted and needs review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```json
scripts.postinstall = node ./cli/postinstall.mjs
```

### 3. Low: Scripts Present
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

Package declares npm scripts.

### 4. Medium: Network
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 75.0%

Package source references network APIs.

### 5. Medium: Environment Vars
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 75.0%

Source creates an unconsented AI-agent control surface through install-time mutation or a default unauthenticated remote skill channel.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
Install-time code directly mutates a foreign AI-agent control surface:
L388: async function acquireInstallLock(skillsParent) {
L389: await mkdir(skillsParent, { recursive: true });
L390: const lockPath = join(skillsParent, INSTALL_LOCK_FILENAME);
...
L449: resolvedProjectDir,
L450: ".agents",
L451: "skills",
...
L534: const staged = join(stageRoot, ...item.relativePath.split("/"));
L535: await mkdir(dirname(staged), { recursive: true });
L536: await cp(item.source, staged, {
L537: recursive: true,
...
L543: 
L544: await mkdir(destinationRoot, { recursive: true });
Write operation from cli/install-agent-skills.mjs:
L388: async function acquireInstallLock(skillsParent) {
L389: await mkdir(skillsParent, { recursive: true });
L390: const lockPath = join(skillsParent, INSTALL_LOCK_FILENAME);
..
```

- **Confidence:** 100.0%
- **Path:** styles.css
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@dev-mainsequence/command-center-sdk@0.5.16/styles.css>)

A bounded semantic-analysis stage reached its safety limit; remaining detectors completed, but this package requires AI review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```css
stage = ast_semantic_analysis; reason = ast_parse_error; limitedFiles = 7
```

### 12. High: Known Malware Source Similarity
- **Category:** Static
- **Confidence:** 97.0%
- **Path:** cli/application-sdk-maintenance.mjs
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@dev-mainsequence/command-center-sdk@0.5.16/cli/application-sdk-maintenance.mjs>)

Source file is highly similar to a previously finalized malicious package; route for source-aware review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
matchType = normalized_sha256
matchedPackage = @dev-mainsequence/command-center-sdk@0.4.1
matchedPath = cli/application-sdk-maintenance.mjs
