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. LPM treats this as warn-only first-party agent extension lifecycle risk. On installation, the package conditionally installs its bundled Frontline skills into an existing Claude Code skills directory. No confirmed exfiltration, remote payload, or destructive action was found. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 89.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-21T17:49:55.005Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-21T17:51:01.773Z - **Download time:** 509 ms - **Static scan time:** 2167 ms - **AI review time:** 64090 ms - **Total time:** 66768 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:** On installation, the package conditionally installs its bundled Frontline skills into an existing Claude Code skills directory. No confirmed exfiltration, remote payload, or destructive action was found. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall when Claude Code is detected - **Impact:** Modifies a foreign AI-agent skill control surface with package-provided instructions. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/runPostinstall.mjs, dist/scripts/postinstall.js, dist/commands/setup/claudeSkills.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-21T17:51:01.773Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** guarded first-party Claude Code skill installation - **Rationale:** The package has a guarded install-time mutation of Claude Code's skills directory, which warrants a lifecycle-risk warning under policy. Source inspection found no credential theft, exfiltration, downloaded code, or destructive behavior. - **Files touched:** scripts/runPostinstall.mjs, dist/scripts/postinstall.js, dist/skills/frontline-agents/SKILL.md, ~/.claude/skills/frontline-agents/SKILL.md ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 89.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** package.json runs a postinstall lifecycle hook., Postinstall detects Claude Code and copies bundled SKILL.md files into ~/.claude/skills., Writes are hash-guarded and avoid overwriting customized skills unless explicitly forced. - **Evidence against:** Lifecycle code performs no network request, credential collection, payload download, or shell execution beyond launching its packaged Node script., Normal CLI API calls use the configured Frontline endpoint and bearer key supplied by the user. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @getfrontline/cli@1.3.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @getfrontline/cli@1.3.0 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.
