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:** 0.2.1 - **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. Review flagged AI-agent configuration or capability changes. This remains warn-only unless evidence shows foreign-agent hijack through preinstall/install/postinstall, hidden persistence, exfiltration, remote code execution, or other concrete malicious behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-26T16:17:45.173Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-26T16:18:53.831Z - **Download time:** 756 ms - **Static scan time:** 874 ms - **AI review time:** 67027 ms - **Total time:** 68658 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:** This is a paired remote-development bridge that keeps a local agent runner available for dashboard commands. A paired service can execute agent turns, clone repositories, and push resulting worktree changes. - **Trigger:** The user pairs the device and starts or approves the background bridge; a command arrives on its authenticated realtime channel. - **Impact:** A compromised or overly privileged paired account or service could cause code changes, repository cloning, Git pushes, or agent-mediated local actions. - **Evidence paths:** scripts/postinstall.mjs, src/setup.mjs, src/service.mjs, src/config.mjs, src/daemon.mjs, src/executor.mjs, runner/acp-runner.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-26T16:18:53.831Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote orchestration of local coding agents, repositories, and supplied MCP tools. - **Rationale:** The package has a real, high-impact remote agent-control surface after explicit pairing and optional background-service setup. Source inspection found no concrete malicious chain, hidden exfiltration, or unconsented install-time control-surface mutation. - **Files touched:** ~/.kai/config.json, ~/.kai/worktrees, ~/.kai/logs, ~/Library/LaunchAgents/io.gleap.kai-bridge.plist, ~/.config/systemd/user/kai-bridge.service - **Network endpoints:** https://api.gleap.io/v3, sockets.gleap.io, https://openrouter.ai/api ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** After device pairing, realtime commands can start agent turns, clone repositories, and install harnesses., Completed worktree turns can commit and push changes using the user's Git authentication., Turn input can supply HTTP MCP servers or arbitrary local MCP commands to an agent session. - **Evidence against:** The postinstall script only enters setup for an interactive global install and otherwise exits successfully., Background persistence is requested in the setup wizard rather than created silently., The source states that harness login secrets are not read or uploaded., No credential-harvesting, hidden payload, or unconsented install-time agent-control mutation was found. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @gleapai/kai-bridge@0.2.1. - Review the evidence and your use of @gleapai/kai-bridge@0.2.1 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.
