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:** 0.45.0 - **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. The package is not shown to be malicious, but its explicit project-command execution and incompletely auditable minified inspector asset leave a real dual-use risk. There is no automatic lifecycle trigger or concrete malicious chain supporting a block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 78.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-08T16:07:10.388Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-08T16:09:51.670Z - **Download time:** 509 ms - **Static scan time:** 2656 ms - **AI review time:** 158115 ms - **Total time:** 161282 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 automatic install-time attack was found. The inspector can execute a user-configured project development command and launch project workflows; this is an unresolved dangerous capability because the bundled browser asset is minified. - **Trigger:** A user starts a vibeable development server or triggers a workflow from the inspector. - **Impact:** A malicious or untrusted project configuration can run with the inspector process environment and modify that project. - **Evidence paths:** dist/remote.js, dist/inspector/runner.js, dist/inspector/vibeables.js, dist/inspector/agents.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-08T16:09:51.670Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Shell execution of configured project commands and process launch in the project root. - **Rationale:** The package is not shown to be malicious, but its explicit project-command execution and incompletely auditable minified inspector asset leave a real dual-use risk. There is no automatic lifecycle trigger or concrete malicious chain supporting a block. - **Files touched:** vibeable.yml, agents/\/agent.yml, agents/\/system.md, output/runs/\/trigger.log, output/runs/\/trigger.json - **Network endpoints:** github.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 78.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The package exposes a CLI and bundles a large minified inspector asset, which limits complete source-level auditing of that asset., Remote workflow resolution clones a supplied Git source and can hard-reset its cached checkout., The inspector launches \`npx kraftwerk run\` in the consumer project when a run is triggered., The inspector runs a project-configured development command through a shell with inherited environment variables., The agent editor writes agent configuration and system-prompt files in the configured project directory. - **Evidence against:** package.json has only a prepublishOnly script, not an install-time lifecycle hook., The manifest does not runtime-depend on its own package name., The reviewed code contains no confirmed credential collection, outbound secret upload, or hidden persistence., Shell and process execution are tied to explicit inspector actions and project workflow configuration. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @netnodeag/kraftwerk@0.45.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @netnodeag/kraftwerk@0.45.0 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.
