## 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:** 1.0.1
- **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 a deliberate bring-your-own-computer cloud-agent runner, not a covert malware chain. Its remote-control and screen-capture powers warrant a warning because the cloud agent can act locally once the user authorizes a run.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0%
- **Started:** 2026-08-24T05:51:02.091Z
- **Finished:** 2026-08-24T05:51:53.124Z
- **Download time:** 511 ms
- **Static scan time:** 4198 ms
- **AI review time:** 46323 ms
- **Total time:** 51033 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:** A user-invoked CLI connects a cloud agent to local shell, filesystem, browser, and computer-use capabilities. It can also stream the active display when the operator requests it.

- **Trigger:** User runs octoagent with a configured API key and prompt.

- **Impact:** The configured cloud agent can act within the selected workspace and browser session.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/index.js, dist/screen-publisher/index.js, README.md

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-24T05:51:53.124Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** Cloud-directed local MCP tools and optional screen streaming.

- **Rationale:** The package is a deliberate bring-your-own-computer cloud-agent runner, not a covert malware chain. Its remote-control and screen-capture powers warrant a warning because the cloud agent can act locally once the user authorizes a run.

- **Files touched:** dist/index.js, dist/filesystem-mcp.mjs, dist/computer-mcp/dist/index.js, dist/browser-extension-mcp.js, dist/screen-publisher/index.js

- **Network endpoints:** https://octavus.ai

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for warning:** Explicit CLI run starts cloud-controlled MCP filesystem, shell, computer-use, and browser tools in the chosen workspace., The CLI creates an authenticated Octavus cloud session and connects an operator relay., Screen streaming captures the X display and publishes it to a LiveKit room when remotely requested.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., Capabilities are activated by the user-invoked octoagent CLI with an API key; no stealth import-time execution was found., No evidence of unrelated credential harvesting, hidden persistence, or foreign AI-agent configuration mutation.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @octavus/agent@1.0.1.

- Review the evidence and your use of @octavus/agent@1.0.1 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.
