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:** 3.2.1 - **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. This is an unconsented install-time mutation of an AI-agent control surface, but it is limited to the package's own named skill and contains no confirmed payload delivery or exfiltration. It warrants a warning under the first-party agent-extension lifecycle policy. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-31T15:07:07.271Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-31T15:07:55.197Z - **Download time:** 510 ms - **Static scan time:** 2070 ms - **AI review time:** 45345 ms - **Total time:** 47926 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:** Installing the package automatically modifies the consumer project's Claude skill directory. It replaces the package-named skill with a bundled instruction file. - **Trigger:** npm installation, through postinstall. - **Impact:** It can influence Claude's behavior for broad Astro-related requests in the consuming project. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.mjs, agents/claude/evoke-astro-core/SKILL.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-31T15:07:55.197Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic replacement of a Claude skill directory. - **Rationale:** This is an unconsented install-time mutation of an AI-agent control surface, but it is limited to the package's own named skill and contains no confirmed payload delivery or exfiltration. It warrants a warning under the first-party agent-extension lifecycle policy. - **Files touched:** .claude/skills/evoke-astro-core, agents/claude/evoke-astro-core ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The package automatically runs a postinstall script., The script deletes and replaces a skill directory in the consuming project's .claude/skills control surface., The installed skill instructs Claude to activate for broad Astro component requests, not only explicit package requests. - **Evidence against:** The lifecycle script has no network, shell, credential, or environment-variable access., The manifest has no runtime dependency on another release of this package., The bundled PDF viewer is imported as a local component asset; no install-time PDF execution occurs. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @inizioevoke/astro-core@3.2.1. - Review the evidence and your use of @inizioevoke/astro-core@3.2.1 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.
