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:** 0.3.16 - **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 package provides an explicit CLI setup path for its Cursor agent integration, which warrants a warning under the agent integration policy. The inspected source does not establish an install-time attack or credential exfiltration. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 81.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-11T01:14:43.015Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-11T01:15:51.245Z - **Download time:** 1519 ms - **Static scan time:** 1177 ms - **AI review time:** 65533 ms - **Total time:** 68230 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:** The CLI can set up Grum integrations for Cursor by writing repository hook, MCP, and rule configuration. This is an explicit setup capability; no confirmed attack was established. - **Trigger:** A user invokes the Grum setup or init command for Cursor. - **Impact:** The setup enables Grum's agent integration in that repository; the inspected evidence does not establish covert or install-time changes. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, grum.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-11T01:15:51.245Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI writes its hook and MCP configuration and a rule pointer into the repository's Cursor configuration. - **Rationale:** The package provides an explicit CLI setup path for its Cursor agent integration, which warrants a warning under the agent integration policy. The inspected source does not establish an install-time attack or credential exfiltration. - **Files touched:** .cursor/hooks.json, .cursor/mcp.json, .cursor/rules/grum.mdc ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 81.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The manifest exposes grum.mjs as a CLI and declares no npm lifecycle hook., The CLI provides an explicit init command that writes Cursor hook and MCP configuration and a rule pointer., The implementation writes the Cursor hook and MCP files as part of that setup command., The indicated source location identifies a Cursor rule file; this is part of the package's agent integration. - **Evidence against:** The inspected setup behavior is invoked through the CLI rather than an npm install hook; no unconsented install-time agent configuration mutation was established. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @grum-os/cli@0.3.16. - Review the evidence and your use of @grum-os/cli@0.3.16 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.
