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. Installing the package can update an existing NextSpark project's Claude workflow files. The guarded postinstall path overwrites package-managed files in the consumer .claude directory. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-01T19:21:48.984Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-01T19:22:50.428Z - **Download time:** 1020 ms - **Static scan time:** 156 ms - **AI review time:** 60267 ms - **Total time:** 61444 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:** Installing the package can update an existing NextSpark project's Claude workflow files. The guarded postinstall path overwrites package-managed files in the consumer .claude directory. - **Trigger:** npm installation or update in a project with a NextSpark dependency and existing .claude directory. - **Impact:** Consumer AI-agent instructions and related workflow files can be changed without a separate setup command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, scripts/setup.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-01T19:22:50.428Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Guarded postinstall execution that copies workflow templates into .claude. - **Rationale:** This is a guarded first-party AI workflow auto-sync that mutates consumer agent files during installation. It is a lifecycle risk requiring a warning, not evidence of malware. - **Files touched:** .claude/agents, .claude/commands, .claude/skills, .claude/templates, .claude/workflows, .claude/\_docs ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The manifest automatically runs a postinstall hook., In guarded NextSpark projects with an existing .claude directory, postinstall launches setup., Setup overwrites matching agent, command, skill, template, workflow, and documentation files in the consumer .claude tree. - **Evidence against:** The hook first requires a NextSpark dependency and an existing .claude directory., The inspected lifecycle code has no network, credential-harvesting, or remote-payload behavior., The flagged API-key-like value is a default embedded in generated Cypress test text, not a harvested secret. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @nextsparkjs/ai-workflow@0.1.0-beta.185. - Review the evidence and your use of @nextsparkjs/ai-workflow@0.1.0-beta.185 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.
