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:** 1.2.17 - **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 establishes explicit-user project agent configuration mutation and transcript-derived usage reporting, creating a real extension risk. It does not establish malicious behavior or an unconsented npm lifecycle attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-08T22:21:13.412Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-08T22:21:57.333Z - **Download time:** 501 ms - **Static scan time:** 1540 ms - **AI review time:** 41879 ms - **Total time:** 43921 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 \`flydocs init\` command installs an AI-agent workflow extension into the selected project. Its hooks can run local Python helpers; usage reporting reads transcripts but source sends usage metadata only after consent checks. - **Trigger:** User runs \`flydocs init\` or installs/updates its project template. - **Impact:** Project agent behavior and managed configuration can be modified; FlyDocs credentials are used for declared relay API operations. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/cli.js, template/.claude/settings.json, template/.cursor/hooks.json, template/.claude/hooks/usage-capture.py, template/.claude/skills/flydocs-workflow/scripts/flydocs\_api.py - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-08T22:21:57.333Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Explicit project-scoped Claude/Cursor extension setup with hook execution and consent-gated usage reporting. - **Rationale:** Source establishes explicit-user project agent configuration mutation and transcript-derived usage reporting, creating a real extension risk. It does not establish malicious behavior or an unconsented npm lifecycle attack. - **Files touched:** .claude/settings.json, .claude/hooks/, .claude/commands/, .claude/agents/, .claude/skills/, .cursor/hooks.json, .cursor/rules/, .cursor/commands/, .cursor/agents/, AGENTS.md, .flydocs/ - **Network endpoints:** https://app.flydocs.ai/api/relay, https://us.i.posthog.com/batch/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** dist/cli.js init copies template .claude/.cursor hooks, commands, agents, and settings into a chosen project., template/.claude/settings.json registers command hooks and grants Bash permission for FlyDocs Python scripts., template/.claude/hooks/usage-capture.py launches \`flydocs usage report\` on agent Stop with a transcript path., dist/cli.js parses agent transcripts for usage records and posts consent-gated counters to the FlyDocs relay., Template scripts read FLYDOCS\_API\_KEY/.env credentials for authenticated FlyDocs API requests. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook., Agent configuration is installed only through the user-invoked \`flydocs init\` command., Hook and API behavior is package-aligned workflow, formatting, issue, and usage functionality., No source evidence of arbitrary remote payload execution, secret forwarding to an unrelated host, or stealth persistence. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @flydocs/cli@1.2.17. - Review the evidence and your use of @flydocs/cli@1.2.17 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.
