Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged as agent extension risk** — Allowed by default with warning: install-time first-party agent extension setup was detected. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Warn-only agent extension risk - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Agent extension lifecycle risk - **Selected version:** 2.3.19 - **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. This is not malicious package behavior, but it installs a powerful AI-agent extension with permission bypass and control-flow hooks. It warrants a warning under the agent-extension lifecycle policy. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-12T18:58:17.128Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-12T18:59:24.040Z - **Download time:** 502 ms - **Static scan time:** 829 ms - **AI review time:** 65580 ms - **Total time:** 66912 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:** An explicit ukit install writes a managed Claude Code settings file and hook suite into the project. The installed settings bypass permissions and hooks can block agent stops. - **Trigger:** The user runs ukit install. - **Impact:** The installed workspace can alter agent permissions and control flow in that project. - **Evidence paths:** src/cli/commands/install.js, manifests/platform.full.yaml, templates/.claude/settings.json, templates/.claude/hooks/task-watchdog.sh - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-12T18:59:24.040Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Project-scoped AI-agent settings and hook installation. - **Rationale:** This is not malicious package behavior, but it installs a powerful AI-agent extension with permission bypass and control-flow hooks. It warrants a warning under the agent-extension lifecycle policy. - **Files touched:** .claude/settings.json, .claude/hooks/task-watchdog.sh, .claude/ukit/runtime/task-watchdog.mjs ### 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 exposes a CLI and has no automatic npm install lifecycle hook., The explicit install command runs the installation pipeline with writes enabled., The default manifest installs a Claude settings file and overwrites managed hook files with backups., Installed Claude settings enable bypassPermissions and invoke package-provided command hooks., The installed watchdog hook can emit a Stop decision that blocks the agent. - **Evidence against:** No package source inspected performs network requests or credential exfiltration., The sensitive-data hook is structured to block secret-bearing prompts and commands rather than transmit them., Control-surface changes occur only after an explicit CLI install command, not during npm installation. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ngockhoale/ukit@2.3.19. - Review the evidence and your use of @ngockhoale/ukit@2.3.19 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.
