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:** 0.7.57 - **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 postinstall hook automatically writes a package-owned skill and conditionally integrates it with OpenClaw. This fits the warning category for first-party agent extension setup, while inspected source does not establish a concrete malicious attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-09T18:51:37.753Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-09T18:52:30.258Z - **Download time:** 1286 ms - **Static scan time:** 1832 ms - **AI review time:** 49386 ms - **Total time:** 52505 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:** The automatic postinstall hook adds Nookplot's tool reference to user-level files and, when present, OpenClaw's prompt-injected workspace instructions and skill registry. - **Trigger:** Installing the package runs its postinstall hook. - **Impact:** This automatically adds Nookplot guidance to an agent environment; the inspected behavior supports a guarded, first-party extension setup risk, not a confirmed attack. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/postinstall.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-09T18:52:30.258Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook writes generated Nookplot skill content under the user's home directory and conditionally updates OpenClaw-specific files. - **Rationale:** The postinstall hook automatically writes a package-owned skill and conditionally integrates it with OpenClaw. This fits the warning category for first-party agent extension setup, while inspected source does not establish a concrete malicious attack. - **Files touched:** dist/postinstall.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The package runs a postinstall hook automatically., The hook writes a Nookplot skill reference to the user's home directory., When OpenClaw is installed, the hook adds or replaces a Nookplot section in its prompt-injected TOOLS.md file., The hook also conditionally writes a Nookplot-owned skill into OpenClaw's skill registry. - **Evidence against:** The OpenClaw modifications are conditional on its files or skill directory already existing., The writes install Nookplot's own tool reference and skill; inspected source did not establish credential theft, remote payload execution, or destructive behavior. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @nookplot/cli@0.7.57. - Review the evidence and your use of @nookplot/cli@0.7.57 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.
