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. Automatic installation can update an existing NextSpark consumer's Claude Code extension files. No credential theft, payload download, or external exfiltration was identified. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-20T20:44:24.902Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-20T20:46:12.537Z - **Download time:** 761 ms - **Static scan time:** 154 ms - **AI review time:** 106719 ms - **Total time:** 107635 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:** Automatic installation can update an existing NextSpark consumer's Claude Code extension files. No credential theft, payload download, or external exfiltration was identified. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall in a NextSpark project that already contains .claude. - **Impact:** This is a guarded first-party AI-agent extension lifecycle mutation, but it can replace existing agent control files without an explicit setup command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, scripts/setup.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-20T20:46:12.537Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook invokes setup.mjs, which copies package-owned workflow files and replaces matching files in selected .claude subdirectories. - **Rationale:** The source establishes a guarded automatic overwrite path into an existing Claude configuration. It does not establish exfiltration, remote code loading, or destructive behavior, so blocking is not warranted. - **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 package registers an automatic postinstall hook that launches its setup script when a NextSpark project already has a .claude directory., The setup script overwrites matching Claude agent, command, skill, template, workflow, and documentation files in the consumer project. - **Evidence against:** The lifecycle action is guarded to NextSpark projects with an existing .claude directory., No source evidence showed credential collection, external network requests from lifecycle code, or a runtime self-dependency. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @nextsparkjs/ai-workflow@0.1.0-beta.191. - Review the evidence and your use of @nextsparkjs/ai-workflow@0.1.0-beta.191 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.
