## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 45 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Persistence
- **Selected version:** 2.16.11
- **Selected version is latest:** Yes
- **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 npm postinstall hook can establish a Windows scheduled-task watchdog that persists across logons and restarts the package service. No credential exfiltration or remote payload execution was confirmed in the inspected path.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** The npm postinstall hook can establish a Windows scheduled-task watchdog that persists across logons and restarts the package service. No credential exfiltration or remote payload execution was confirmed in the inspected path.

- **Trigger:** Installing the package runs postinstall; on Windows, the watchdog is registered when PM2 is not already managing the service.

- **Impact:** A package installation can create durable service persistence and repeatedly restart the package command on Windows.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, cli/assets/watchdog.ps1

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-27T03:09:42.143Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The hook copies a PowerShell watchdog, registers an at-logon hidden task with execution-policy bypass, and the watchdog relaunches clauth serve after a failed loopback health check.

- **Rationale:** Automatic Windows persistence from an npm lifecycle hook is a material risk that warrants a warning. The inspected code does not support a malware block verdict.

- **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.js, cli/assets/watchdog.ps1

- **Network endpoints:** http://127.0.0.1:52437/ping

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 90.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for warning:** The package declares an automatic postinstall entry point., On Windows, postinstall registers and starts an at-logon watchdog task after an administrator approval prompt., The scheduled task uses hidden PowerShell with execution-policy bypass and an indefinite restart configuration., The installed watchdog loops locally and starts the clauth service again when its local health check fails., The Claude MCP configuration write is reached only through the explicit clauth install command.

- **Evidence against:** The inspected watchdog checks only a loopback health endpoint; no external recipient or secret-export sink was found in this persistence path., The agent configuration is a named clauth MCP entry rather than a broad automatic configuration change.

## Affected versions and remediation
