Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged as AI-agent capability risk** — Allowed by default with warning: agent-facing configuration or capability changes need review before use. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Warn-only AI-agent capability risk - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** AI-agent capability abuse - **Selected version:** 0.9.4 - **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 is not malicious by source evidence: it has no install hooks or hidden credential-exfiltration chain. Its explicit cross-agent configuration capability warrants a warning under the stated policy. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-09T06:54:51.908Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-09T06:55:47.577Z - **Download time:** 1013 ms - **Static scan time:** 7397 ms - **AI review time:** 47258 ms - **Total time:** 55669 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:** No unconsented install-time attack surface is established. The explicit agent-install command can configure third-party agent platforms and copy a Markus skill. - **Trigger:** User runs \`markus install openclaw\` or another configured platform. - **Impact:** Writes an integration token and Markus endpoint to the selected platform's configuration; installs a platform skill. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/index.js, dist/commands/install-agent.js, dist/connector-service.js, connectors/openclaw.json, dist/commands/update.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-09T06:55:47.577Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Explicit external-agent installation and configuration - **Rationale:** The package is not malicious by source evidence: it has no install hooks or hidden credential-exfiltration chain. Its explicit cross-agent configuration capability warrants a warning under the stated policy. - **Files touched:** dist/commands/install-agent.js, dist/connector-service.js, connectors/openclaw.json, ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json, ~/.openclaw/skills/openclaw-markus-skill, ~/.markus/app - **Network endpoints:** http://localhost:8056, https://github.com/markus-global/markus/releases/download/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** dist/commands/install-agent.js explicitly installs external agent CLIs and invokes their init commands., dist/connector-service.js writes Markus URL/token into external agent configs., connectors/openclaw.json targets ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json and installs a skill template., dist/commands/update.js downloads and replaces a user-invoked binary update. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook., dist/index.js only registers command handlers; no install-time execution., Agent-platform writes occur only through explicit \`markus install \\`., No source evidence of credential harvesting or covert exfiltration was found. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @markus-global/cli@0.9.4. - Review the evidence and your use of @markus-global/cli@0.9.4 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.
