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. LPM treats this as warn-only first-party agent extension lifecycle risk. A global installation automatically installs or replaces a bundled ClawClaw agent skill in several agent-specific skill locations. No confirmed credential theft, remote payload execution, or destructive action was found in this lifecycle path. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-22T16:05:21.111Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-22T16:10:11.382Z - **Download time:** 1011 ms - **Static scan time:** 2746 ms - **AI review time:** 286513 ms - **Total time:** 290271 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

No confirmed credential theft, remote payload execution, or destructive action was found in this lifecycle path. - **Trigger:** npm global installation runs postinstall unless CLAWCLAW\_SKIP\_SKILL\_SYNC is set to 1. - **Impact:** The package can alter available agent skills without an explicit setup command, creating a guarded agent-extension lifecycle risk. - **Evidence paths:** scripts/postinstall.mjs, scripts/sync-bundled-skill.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-22T16:10:11.382Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The lifecycle script calls the synchronizer, which copies the bundled same-name skill into agent skill directories for .agents, Claude, Codex, and OpenClaw. - **Rationale:** The automatic cross-agent skill installation is a concrete lifecycle risk. The inspected path is limited to a first-party bundled skill and does not establish a blocking attack. - **Files touched:** .agents/skills/clawclaw, .claude/skills/clawclaw, .codex/skills/clawclaw, .openclaw/skills/clawclaw ### 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 has a postinstall lifecycle hook that runs its skill synchronizer during global npm installs., The synchronizer targets the same-named ClawClaw skill across .agents, Claude, Codex, and OpenClaw skill directories and replaces each target., The synchronizer uses the bundled skills/clawclaw directory as its source. - **Evidence against:** The lifecycle hook runs only when npm reports a global install and can be skipped with CLAWCLAW\_SKIP\_SKILL\_SYNC=1., The installed artifact is a same-name, first-party ClawClaw skill; no credential collection, network send, or payload download was identified in this lifecycle path. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @myclaw163/clawclaw-cli@0.8.27. - Review the evidence and your use of @myclaw163/clawclaw-cli@0.8.27 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.
