AI Security Review
scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThis is a real automatic agent-extension lifecycle risk, but the inspected source supports a first-party Agency integration rather than a concrete malicious payload. It should warn rather than block.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
npm installation, followed by a Pi agent session in an Agency workbase.
Impact
It changes a local AI-agent control surface without an explicit setup command; no exfiltration or remote execution was confirmed.
Mechanism
Postinstall deployment of a startup-hooking Pi extension.
AI rationale
This is a real automatic agent-extension lifecycle risk, but the inspected source supports a first-party Agency integration rather than a concrete malicious payload. It should warn rather than block.
Evidence
package.jsonscripts/install-pi-extension.tspi-extensions/agency.ts.pi/agent/extensions/agency.ts
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 90.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The postinstall hook automatically installs a Pi agent extension.
- The installer copies package code into the user's Pi extensions directory.
- The installed extension hooks agent startup and appends instructions to the system prompt.
Evidence against
- No credential harvesting, data exfiltration, remote payload loading, or self-dependency was found in the inspected lifecycle path.
- The other agent-integration writes are exposed through an explicit `agency integration sync` command.
