## 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:** 0.13.1
- **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 exposes a real remote execution capability and client-controlled self-update path, so it warrants a warning. The inspected source does not establish malicious install-time behavior or data exfiltration.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0%
- **Started:** 2026-09-01T09:56:37.350Z

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:** After explicit pairing and daemon startup, a remote Factiii client can dispatch board-agent work that launches a local AI CLI in a workspace. The same connection can request a global update to the latest package release.

- **Trigger:** The user runs setup and start, then an authorized remote client sends a board action or update control message.

- **Impact:** The remote service account can cause workspace changes through an AI CLI and replace the globally installed runner.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/cli.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-01T09:58:07.962Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Remote dispatch of local AI-agent processes and npm self-update.

- **Rationale:** The package exposes a real remote execution capability and client-controlled self-update path, so it warrants a warning. The inspected source does not establish malicious install-time behavior or data exfiltration.

- **Files touched:** ~/.factiii-runner/config.json, dist/cli.js

- **Network endpoints:** api.factiii.com

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 86.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for warning:** The daemon authenticates to a configured remote server with a stored runner token., A remote data-channel action can start an agent task from supplied card data., The runner launches the installed Codex or Claude CLI in a selected workspace., A connected client can request a global npm update to the latest runner release.

- **Evidence against:** The manifest has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook; prepublishOnly is publish-time only., Remote board actions are checked against a supplied per-space scope., Credential-store management is restricted to the owner role., No source evidence shows secret values being sent to an unrelated endpoint.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @factiii/runner@0.13.1.

- Review the evidence and your use of @factiii/runner@0.13.1 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.
