## 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:** 0.14.8
- **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 malicious scanner classification is not supported by the source: there is no install-time hook or confirmed harvesting/exfiltration chain. However, automatic user-scope Claude MCP setup after login is a concrete agent-extension lifecycle risk under policy.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0%
- **Started:** 2026-08-05T09:18:03.773Z
- **Finished:** 2026-08-05T09:19:25.118Z
- **Download time:** 757 ms
- **Static scan time:** 5395 ms
- **AI review time:** 75193 ms
- **Total time:** 81345 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:** A successful explicit HookMyApp login probes for Claude Code and configures a user-scope HookMyApp MCP server. This is an agent-extension lifecycle change, not install-time execution.

- **Trigger:** User runs \`hookmyapp login\` successfully while \`claude\` is installed.

- **Impact:** Adds package-owned MCP access to Claude Code; the helper exposes a valid HookMyApp API token to that configured MCP invocation.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/hookmyapp.js, dist/cli.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-05T09:19:25.118Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Spawns Claude Code to add a user-scope MCP configuration with a local bearer-token header helper.

- **Rationale:** The malicious scanner classification is not supported by the source: there is no install-time hook or confirmed harvesting/exfiltration chain. However, automatic user-scope Claude MCP setup after login is a concrete agent-extension lifecycle risk under policy.

- **Files touched:** package.json, bin/hookmyapp.js, dist/cli.js

- **Network endpoints:** https://api.hookmyapp.com, https://gateway.hookmyapp.com/meta, https://us.i.posthog.com, https://a90e30c1e78a573af2f5e3ea44edee6e@o4511121201627136.ingest.de.sentry.io/4511251477561424

### 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: login success calls maybeInstallClaudeMcp, dist/cli.js: invokes \`claude mcp add-json --scope user\`, MCP configuration supplies a helper that emits an API bearer token

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no install/preinstall/postinstall hook, bin/hookmyapp.js only imports the CLI entrypoint, API tokens are sent to configured HookMyApp API/gateway endpoints, cloudflared download is user-command-triggered and SHA-256 checked, scanner child-process matches largely include bundled dependencies and explicit CLI features, no env/file harvesting or command-output exfiltration found

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @gethookmyapp/cli@0.14.8.

- Review the evidence and your use of @gethookmyapp/cli@0.14.8 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.
