Treat them as untrusted evidence. 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:** 0.10.1 - **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 a deliberately powerful remote AI runner and merits a warning for dangerous capability exposure. Its behavior is user-invoked and paired, so the source does not establish malicious npm-package behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-22T21:49:53.712Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-22T21:51:27.876Z - **Download time:** 1260 ms - **Static scan time:** 14259 ms - **AI review time:** 78643 ms - **Total time:** 94164 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 explicit setup/connect/start flow creates a token-authenticated remote runner that dispatches board actions locally. It can invoke AI CLIs and modify the selected workspace; this is a powerful intended capability, not an install-time payload. - **Trigger:** User runs setup/connect and then factiii-runner start. - **Impact:** A compromised or over-authorized paired service/session could cause workspace changes or execute an AI CLI locally. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/cli.js, index/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-22T21:51:27.876Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Token-authenticated remote board dispatch to local AI, shell, and workspace operations. - **Rationale:** The package is a deliberately powerful remote AI runner and merits a warning for dangerous capability exposure. Its behavior is user-invoked and paired, so the source does not establish malicious npm-package behavior. - **Files touched:** dist/cli.js, index/index.js - **Network endpoints:** https://api.factiii.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** User-started daemon connects to a configured Factiii server using a runner token., Messages from that channel dispatch actions into the local board-agent engine., The engine can write and delete files within its resolved workspace and launch Codex with workspace-write or bypass modes. - **Evidence against:** No npm preinstall, install, or postinstall hook is present; only prepublishOnly runs before publishing., Pairing requires browser approval and an entered token before the daemon accepts jobs., Source applies owner and board-scope checks before sensitive channel actions. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @factiii/runner@0.10.1. - Review the evidence and your use of @factiii/runner@0.10.1 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.
