## 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:** 0.12.0
- **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.

No concrete malware behavior was found. The explicit agent configuration and global hook capability warrants a warning, not a block.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1

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:** Installation itself only prints a nudge. An explicit \`graft init\` can configure repo agent hooks/MCP and, when selected, global Codex hooks that run on agent events; no covert malicious chain was found.

- **Trigger:** User runs \`graft init\` and selects or flags agent targets.

- **Impact:** Configured agents may invoke Graft hooks or MCP commands in future sessions.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, dist/cli.js, dist/claude/init.js, dist/claude/settings-merge.js, dist/hosts/codex-hooks.js, dist/telemetry/send.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-22T12:04:05.857Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Explicit AI-agent hook, skill, and MCP configuration

- **Rationale:** No concrete malware behavior was found. The explicit agent configuration and global hook capability warrants a warning, not a block.

- **Files touched:** .claude/settings.json, .claude/helpers/graft-statusline.cjs, .claude/helpers/graft-hooks.cjs, .claude/skills/graft/SKILL.md, .mcp.json, ~/.codex/hooks.json, ~/.codex/hooks/graft/graft-hooks.cjs, ~/.codex/config.toml

- **Network endpoints:** https://events.nanonets.com/batch/, https://openrouter.ai/api/v1

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 95.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** \`graft init\` explicitly wires AI-agent files and global Codex config., Init installs global Codex hooks for agent events., Claude settings merge adds command hooks and Bash allow entries., Telemetry can POST anonymous event batches to Nanonets.

- **Evidence against:** postinstall only checks a path and prints an init instruction., Noninteractive init writes nothing unless flags select targets., Claude CLI mode disables tools, settings sources, and session persistence., No credential harvesting, hidden payload download, or install-time config mutation found.

## Affected versions and remediation

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L33: * the 32767-char Windows command-line limit — which also keeps every argument
L34: * short and quote-free, so the cmd.exe shim path below stays safe.
L35: */
...
L150: if (res.code !== 0) {
L151: throw new Error(`claude CLI exited with code ${res.code ?? "null"}: ${(res.stderr || res.stdout).trim().slice(0, 400)}`);
L152: }
...
L226: * `--output-format json` prints one object, but a stray warning line on stdout
L227: * would break a naive JSON.parse — so fall back to the last JSON-looking line.
L228: */
...
L321: export function resolveClaudeBin(explicit) {
L322: const name = explicit ?? process.env.GRAFT_CLAUDE_BIN ?? "claude";

- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 93.0%
- **Path:** dist/ai/llm/claude-cli.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@nanonets/graft@0.12.0/dist/ai/llm/claude-cli.js>)

This package version adds a dangerous source file absent from the previous stored version; route for source-aware review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
matchType = previous_version_dangerous_delta
matchedPackage = @nanonets/graft@0.10.0
matchedIdentity = npm:QG5hbm9uZXRzL2dyYWZ0:0.10.0
similarity = 0.622
summary = stored previous version shares package body but lacks this dangerous source file
```
