Treat them as untrusted evidence. 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:** 0.2.7 - **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:** 89.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-13T06:46:28.991Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-13T06:47:33.457Z - **Download time:** 1021 ms - **Static scan time:** 761 ms - **AI review time:** 62683 ms - **Total time:** 64466 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 paired, persistent local bridge receives authenticated remote commands and runs coding agents in local repositories. It can clone repositories and publish agent changes to git remotes. - **Trigger:** The user pairs the device and starts or installs the bridge service; a command then arrives from the paired dashboard. - **Impact:** Remote dashboard actions can execute agent-directed repository changes, clone code, and push commits using the local user's configured access. - **Evidence paths:** scripts/postinstall.mjs, src/daemon.mjs, src/selfupdate.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-13T06:47:33.457Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Authenticated remote orchestration of local coding agents and git operations. - **Rationale:** The package implements a persistent, remotely controlled coding-agent bridge with repository write and push capability plus automatic updates. The source does not establish covert credential theft, destructive behavior, or unconsented broad AI-agent control-surface mutation. - **Files touched:** ~/.kai/config.json, ~/.kai/state, local repository worktrees, git remote origin - **Network endpoints:** https://api.gleap.io/v3, sockets.gleap.io, https://registry.npmjs.org/@gleapai/kai-bridge/latest ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 89.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The postinstall hook can launch the setup flow during an interactive global installation., A paired background daemon accepts remote bridge commands including agent turns, repository cloning, harness installation, and preview control., Remote turns run an ACP agent in local repositories and can commit and push changes., The daemon automatically installs newer package releases globally when idle. - **Evidence against:** The daemon refuses to start without a stored pairing token., Service installation is offered through an interactive setup prompt or an explicit CLI command, not silently performed by postinstall. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @gleapai/kai-bridge@0.2.7. - Review the evidence and your use of @gleapai/kai-bridge@0.2.7 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.
