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:** 1.6.2 - **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. LPM treats this as warn-only first-party agent extension lifecycle risk. Installation automatically adds or upgrades Frontline skills in Claude Code's user configuration. This creates guarded agent extension lifecycle risk, but inspected source does not establish a malicious attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-02T23:22:03.997Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-02T23:23:43.983Z - **Download time:** 760 ms - **Static scan time:** 1887 ms - **AI review time:** 97337 ms - **Total time:** 99986 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:** Installation automatically adds or upgrades Frontline skills in Claude Code's user configuration. This creates guarded agent extension lifecycle risk, but inspected source does not establish a malicious attack. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall when Claude Code is detected. - **Impact:** Package-supplied instructions become available to the agent without a separate setup command; existing customized skills are protected. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/runPostinstall.mjs, dist/scripts/postinstall.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-02T23:23:43.983Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The wrapper launches the bundled installer, which copies package skills and records hashes while preserving customized files. - **Rationale:** Source establishes guarded first-party agent extension installation, which the review policy classifies as warning-only. Scanner similarity and browser-login hints do not establish malicious behavior. - **Files touched:** .claude, skills, SKILL.md, .frontline-hash ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** package.json automatically runs the postinstall wrapper, which launches the bundled installer., The installer detects Claude Code before copying bundled skills into its user skills directory., The installer writes skill files and hash manifests, automatically installing or upgrading agent instructions., Hash checks preserve customized skills; automatic upgrades require unchanged previously installed files., Workflow node operations are explicit CLI actions using the configured API client., The browser callback checks a random state value and binds to localhost; no active caller was found. - **Evidence against:** The copied skills support Frontline CLI operations, consistent with first-party extension setup., No credential harvesting, unrelated exfiltration, remote payload execution, or runtime self-dependency was identified. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @getfrontline/cli@1.6.2. - Review the evidence and your use of @getfrontline/cli@1.6.2 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.
