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:** 0.9.7 - **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 confirms a high-impact, paired remote-agent capability and user-scoped AI-agent configuration changes. It has no npm install hook and no confirmed covert credential exfiltration or foreign broad control-surface mutation. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-19T13:14:34.123Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-19T13:15:43.829Z - **Download time:** 1020 ms - **Static scan time:** 11472 ms - **AI review time:** 57213 ms - **Total time:** 69706 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 user-started paired runner provisions user-scoped Claude/Codex MCP entries, launches local AI CLIs, and can expose local ports through its bundled frpc client. No install-time execution or covert exfiltration path was confirmed. - **Trigger:** User runs setup/connect/start and pairs the runner with Factiii. - **Impact:** A paired service can invoke powerful local AI tooling and alter its MCP configuration; this is a material agent-extension capability. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/cli.js, README.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-19T13:15:43.829Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Paired remote-agent daemon with user-scoped MCP provisioning and optional port tunneling. - **Rationale:** Source confirms a high-impact, paired remote-agent capability and user-scoped AI-agent configuration changes. It has no npm install hook and no confirmed covert credential exfiltration or foreign broad control-surface mutation. - **Files touched:** ~/.factiii-runner/, ~/.claude/, ~/.codex/ - **Network endpoints:** https://api.factiii.com, dev.factiii.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** Runtime provisioning changes user-scoped Claude and Codex MCP configuration., The paired daemon can launch Codex with bypassed approvals/sandbox when a non-auto mode is selected., It installs and runs a vendored frpc tunnel harness under its own runner directory. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., Activation requires explicit setup/connect/start commands and a pairing token., MCP endpoints are a per-space localhost service or the configured Factiii server; no covert credential receiver was confirmed. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @factiii/runner@0.9.7. - Review the evidence and your use of @factiii/runner@0.9.7 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.
