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:** 0.66.2 - **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 not malicious install-hook abuse because installation is inert. Its explicit CLI setup and automatic-on-start editor-skill maintenance warrant a warning for agent-extension lifecycle risk. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 89.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-29T09:55:26.678Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-29T09:56:36.585Z - **Download time:** 2263 ms - **Static scan time:** 11180 ms - **AI review time:** 56463 ms - **Total time:** 69907 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:** User-invoked CLI commands can create project configuration, editor MCP entries, and AI-editor skill files. The package does not execute these actions through an npm install lifecycle hook. - **Trigger:** Running \`ok init\` or \`ok start\`. - **Impact:** These commands can alter selected editor and project control surfaces; this is a guarded but sensitive agent-extension capability. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/init-DwE-82L\_.mjs, dist/repair-skills-BftHPTbX.mjs, dist/native/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-29T09:56:36.585Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** CLI-managed MCP and skill integration for AI editors. - **Rationale:** This is not malicious install-hook abuse because installation is inert. Its explicit CLI setup and automatic-on-start editor-skill maintenance warrant a warning for agent-extension lifecycle risk. - **Files touched:** .ok/, ~/.ok/, SKILL.md ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 89.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The explicit \`ok init\` command scaffolds a project and registers an MCP server for editors., The explicit \`ok start\` path automatically refreshes bundled skills across installed AI editors., The package writes a managed Pi bridge as part of its user-invoked initialization. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., There is no runtime dependency on this package name., The native loader is a standard platform-binding selector; no remote payload retrieval was found. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @inkeep/open-knowledge@0.66.2. - Review the evidence and your use of @inkeep/open-knowledge@0.66.2 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.
